The Greens want a separate judicial system for Maori
I can’t believe people vote for these loonies. Check out this press release from Green Party Law and Order/Maori Affairs Spokesperson Metiria Turei.
“A parallel Maori justice system will be proposed by Green Party Law and Order/Maori Affairs Spokesperson Metiria Turei at tomorrow’s Crime Summit.
“Because Maori are more likely to be stopped and searched, arrested rather than cautioned, and receive higher sentences than Pakeha offenders, Maori crime and imprisonment rates are elevated,” Mrs Turei said today.
“The establishment of a Maori justice system that runs alongside the existing legal system – using the education system as a model – will help to eliminate the impact of this systemic racial profiling, reduce the unjust imprisonment of many Maori and stem Maori reoffending.”
The Government should work with Maori organisations and experts such as Moana Jackson to establish a tikanga Maori justice system, Mrs Turei said.
A Government policy of full employment, more investment in alternative education and training, a greater emphasis and restorative justice and keeping young people out of jail will also be advocated by Mrs Turei, at the Drivers of Crime ministerial meeting at Parliament.
“Maori are both over represented in criminal offending and victimisation, but the two are often linked because of the systemic racial profiling that unjustly criminalises Maori,” Mrs Turei said.
“I acknowledge the deep hurts of crime victims and understand their frustrations. But a vengeance-based justice system is not the answer. We need to think intelligently about what is actually going to work.
“Young people who aren’t in touch with their culture and feel alienated from wider society need education and training that works for them. Trade-based training that leads directly to jobs is a win-win situation for those young people and for New Zealand.
“Restorative justice and community-based sentences are great ways to make troubled young people face up to their crimes, reconnect with their communities and stay out of jail.
“Breaking the cycle of criminality makes sense economically as well as socially. Targeted interventions can make the difference between quickly getting a troubled youngster back onto the straight and narrow, or into a life of crime.
“That’s why we urgent need to properly resource alternative education and training, restorative and Maori justice programmes, and the Probation Service.”
Mrs Turei welcomed tomorrow’s Crime Summit: “It’s vital that we, as a country, have this important conversation about the drivers of crime. It’s equally important we consider solutions that actually work, rather than put the blinkers on and take the simplistic vengeful response.”
This makes the National Front look sane.
This Maori nonsense has reached new heights.
If we don’t put the breaks on this pseudo Maori politically correct rubbish we will very soon have a country that is completely out of control. No one will want to live here and put up with this crap.
This so called Maori, or often heard to be pronounced “Mari” make belief nonsense is dragging all of us down to their level.
The daily crime in New Zealand is now monopolized by Maori offenders alone… and yet we still tolerate it.
What’s wrong with New Zealanders, are we so apathetic we can’t be bothered doing some thing about it ? Are people scared to be called racist, when in fact a huge percentage of the so called Maori race have a tiny amount of Maori in them. They want respect from the rest of New Zealand.. What a bloody joke. They kill and rape their way through New Zealand, and then demand respect.. They kill their children on a regular basis, and then have the cheek to say - “we have a problem “. Don’t they mean “they ” have a problem.
Wake up New Zealand and sort this problem out now, before these half wits drag us all into the third world. Time to take a really serious look at this problem.
I say one law for all, where we are all New Zealanders regardless of race.
