But Judge Mabey was not keen to send Minhinnick to jail, where the consequences of him possibly being forced to join a gang would be more damaging to society in the long term.


So the underlying issue is with our jails. If it was run where gang members couldn't just hang out together then this wouldn't be a issue to put this 'young man' in jail.

You proposing billeting?
 
I think he's proposing people not being allowed to socialise in incarceration?
Huge can o worms
Minimum/maximum security prisons sort of address the worst offenders not being placed with someone who’s potentially made a bad choice. I’m not sure how you could stop a prisoner interacting with another prisoner though apart from solitary confinement to all?

The ones without a shadow of a doubt they are guilty of the worst crimes should be executed I reckon. People like the Christchurch mosque shooter for example.
No that gentleman should be extradited to the West Island and placed in Goulburn Super Max prison where all the crazy Isis and Islamist radicals are kept.
I don’t know why Nz pay the costs of keeping this pos in prison.
He is from Grafton Nsw
If it’s good enough for the West Islsnd to ship back minor criminals to Nz it’s good enough for this pos to be imprisoned in Aus

I have thought that repeat serious offenders for violence and class A drugs have their sentences served overseas effectively doing the same as Call Centres and manufacturing.

Dave is way more qualified on this than I. However I know that there is a percentage of offenders who are not receptive to rehabilitation. My view is society needs a rest from these people. Rehabilitation is a two way street. Programs need to be in place but equally offenders need to honestly engage. A term in something like the Black Dolphin in Russia might work. If you will not respect the law, then fear it.
 
Interesting there have been a couple of articles regarding Pt Chev this last couple of weeks. Library closed for over a year, derelict yards and now https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350156051/auckland-township-says-its-terrorised-alcoholics

It’s going to be up to the community to get organised and respond to a growing vagrant problem as police struggle to muster numbers, Point Chevalier residents were told.
Another resident, William Fremlin, who said he worked for the Department of Corrections at Mt Eden prison asked the crowd to try to have compassion for people on the street.

“I hang out with half of those people, and most of them are hungry. Some of them are alcoholics and opportunists, but other genuinely just need hope given back to them,” he said.

“We need a non profit organisation setting up meals and cups of tea in the centre, but all I’m hearing is that it’s alcoholics.”
 
Half million dollar raised crossing in Auckland. That’s why we don’t get potholes fixes, have low productivity, no new roads and public transport fares need to rise.

I don't understand in a climate crisis why we purposefully slow cars with raised crossings so when nobodies using them, everyone, every single time has to accelerate heavily again and waste fuel.

The Greens should be smashing them on this, not part of the party that backed it all - I know road lifting is not as interesting as shops, but anything that increases co2 is their bread and butter.

Personally think they are unacceptable, destabilising and we should be doing all we can to ring-fence this and stop this spreading to the rest of the Middle East. This is happening 2,000km away in a completely different country…

So you are saying nations have no right to blockade and sanctions foreign vessels their own waters, in response to illegal military actions?

If so NZ, AUS, UK, US, CAN have quite a bit of explaining to regarding seized Russian assets.
 

NZ First's Associate Health Minister Casey Costello has a lot of ideas about the regulation of tobacco - many them will be controversial.​

Cigarettes would be insulated from the full impact of inflation under a proposal from New Zealand First Associate Health Minister Casey Costello.

Currently, tobacco excise is increased each year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
RNZ has learned Costello is proposing a three year freeze on CPI-related excise increases for smoked tobacco.
But when RNZ put that to her in an interview Costello said she hadn't looked at it.
"I've had no discussions on that at all. Like, that's - it's not even something I specifically sought advice on," she said. "I haven't looked at a freeze on the excise at all."
But RNZ has seen a Ministry of Health document, sent to Costello, which says the minister is proposing to freeze the excise tax.
"The additional information you provided to us proposed also to freeze the excise on smoked tobacco for three years," the document says.
RNZ has also learned that Costello is proposing to remove the excise tax from smokeless tobacco products, where the tobacco is heated to a vapour rather than burned. That could deliver a win for companies producing what are known as Heated Tobacco Products, or HTPs.
Philip Morris has argued for years that its IQOS product - where sticks of tobacco are inserted into an e-cigarette and heated, producing a vapour rather than smoke - should get a tax break.

Was it the nation of Yemen that did it? What was the action against Yemen?

Palistine and Afghanistan seems to have the same issue in that that allowed terrorists to operate and got the consequences… fuck around and find out… just like Yemen is playing with now.

You can’t attack foreign vessels, even in your own waters without consequences. That’s an act of war vs seizing assets which is more a sanction.
