You’re still freaking out about the cost of ‘bootcamps’? Seriously?

I am more concerned about there effectiveness. Studies from overseas suggest they don't reduce recidivism and the benefit if any only lasts as long as they are in camp.
Kids that have likely been abused or neglected on the whole don't respond well at being yelled at or ordered to do this that & the other etc. They quite often have experienced far worse at home & its just a reminder of the abuse they have already experienced.
What I would rather see is a more nuanced approach where they have to face up to their crimes. Meet the victims and make reparations through work etc and also work in community programs and also be fostered by community groups & iwi so they can gain positive connections but also hopefully learn skills or get further education so they can one day get a job and have options other than crime or the gang life etc.
Watching Ginny Andersen, new minister of justice, on TV3 - so Ardern. Anything but answer the questions.
Good to see that she is not allowed to get away from her clueless and deflective answers by Rebecca Wright.
Asked about rank & file police expressing frustrations with the woke and ineffective ‘policing by consent’, she tried first not to answer, then she denied that there’s such an issue.
So as far as Hipkins and this government is concerned, nothing is going to change - woke policing is here to stay with all the associated breakdown in law and order under this clueless and racist government.
White middle class NZers need to vote in a new government to being sanity and common sense back to policing - give support to the frustrated rank and file police ranks to effectively enforce the law.
Roll on October 2023.

Speaking of answering questions, Luxon in a friendly interview with the right compliant Mike Hosking couldn't answer some basic questions about the largest policy the Nats released yesterday?
Labour have cocked up again & again.
However this guy doesn't give me much confidence that things will be any better.
This is a regurgitated policy of course from the Key years where all other roads including maintenance was sacrificed to fund the roads of significance.
