Dear John --
Under Labour, New Zealand
is less safe as gang numbers explode. Gangs are becoming more
powerful, while the Government focuses on making apologies for
criminals rather than arresting them. You can read more here.
On a weekly basis we learn of increased
gang-related gun crime, shootings and escalating addiction,
particularly in our provinces.
Under Labour we have
seen:
- Gang membership increase by 50%,
leaving New Zealanders feeling less safe, and criminals more
emboldened.
- The number of serious assaults has
more than doubled leaving our streets more
violent.
- Failure to deliver on their
promise of 1800 more Police over three years.
- Failure to deliver on their
promise of 700 new Police targeting organised crime.
And on top of this we now have a Government actively working
to coddle up to gangs – rather than hold them to
account.
National will not stand by whilst our streets
become less safe, and gangs continue to become more emboldened,
peddling meth and perpetrating violence on our
streets.
Help us reach more Kiwis. Donate to Demand the
Debate campaign here.
It’s time the Government was open
and transparent with New Zealanders about their agenda when it comes
to gangs and organised crime.
It’s time we
Demand the Debate about gangs and organised crime in New Zealand so
that we can keep New Zealanders
safe.
Regards
Judith
