Crime and Punishment

Labour-Green coalition Government implemented its policy of lowering numbers in prisons and so sentences given have often reflected this.
National and ACT want to get tougher on crime whixh means increasing crims sent to prison and the dishing out of longer prison terms.

National-ACT also want to decrease Government spending.

But these two things are not necessarily compatible because more sent to prison and increased time spent in.a prison means the need for more prisons to be built. And that runs into hundreds of millions of dollars let alone finding prison staff. At present there are dozens of staff vacancies at Rimutaka Prison in Upper Hutt.

"A magical afternoon spent at Silverstream today! A good variety of birds to be seen too! As we got out of the car in the driving range, a kotāre was sitting on the power line to welcome us!
It was funny that Clive and I were just talking about me having seen a magpie taking a bath in the water when I last visited, then a few minutes later after watching 3 kereru and 2 magpies who had been fighting each other earlier on, all sitting in the same tree together, suddenly one of the magpie decided to hop into the water and take a bath much to our delight! There was also a chaffinch taking a bath further up the stream."
