Dear John --
I wanted to share a video with you that we released today about
what gangs think about Labour and their approach to crime. You
can watch and share it below.
National is the Party of law and
order.
We’re working hard to hold the Government to
account and ensure New Zealand remains a safe place to live, work and
raise a family.
To National, that means making sure victims are
at the heart of our justice system, offenders are held to account for
their actions, and Social Investment is used to tackle the long-term
drivers of crime.
To Labour, that means giving $2.75 million to
the Mob.
National backs our frontline Police and
Corrections Officers to do their job, and we want to give them the
support and tools to do it:
- New Firearm Protection Orders with new search powers.
- New Firearm Protection Orders to seize illegal guns from
gangs.
- Bring back Armed Response Teams.
- New criminal offences for violent gang crime.
- New Aggravating sentence in the Sentencing Act for gang
members.
- Ban on gang insignia in public places.
- Trial tasers for Corrections Officers.
- Increased penalties for assaulting Corrections Officers.
- New Legislation – no public funding for gangs.
- Require gangs to prove income is legitimate.
New Zealand communities are facing an increase in violence
on our streets and in particular gang violence. It’s got to
stop.
In the last week, we've reached over 400,000
Kiwis with help from generous supporters like you. Our message is
getting through and we need to keep it up!
Help us reach more Kiwis. Join the Demand the
Debate Campaign by donating here.
It’s time we Demand the Debate about gangs and organised crime in
New Zealand so that we can keep New Zealanders
safe.
Regards
