Reform Deputy Leader dyljam meets with local police officers in Auckland City, discusses Reform’s fairer justice and safer law and order policies.

“I’d just like to start off by thanking you for having me here today.”

“I’d just like to take a moment of your time to discuss Reform’s policies aimed at making our community safer, and our justice system fairer.”

“Many New Zealanders believe that our justice system has become weak and inefficient. Youth justice is failing, and many criminals are being released back into the community without proper rehabilitation.”

“But we’re prepared to fix this.”

“If elected, Reform will ensure an accused can be re-tried where any acquittal, or a change to a lesser offence, was as a result of intimidation, perjury, or bribery.”

“We will review the adequacy of maximum sentences for serious criminal offences and toughen mandatory minimum sentences for violent offenders.”

“To keep our communities safer, we’ll require that upon conviction of a serious crime, non-citizens will be deported to their country of origin after serving an appropriate prison sentence in New Zealand.”

“We will ensure that home detention is used only in the case that the crimes committed were not of a violent nor sexual nature.”

“We want to better co-ordinate, and fund the delivery of state-funded and privately funded victim support services.”

“We will reintroduce the chargeable offence of drunk and disorderly to include drugs, and we’ll introduce cumulative sentencing for offenders convicted of more than one crime including white collar crime.”

“We’ll introduce two new criminal offences ‘failing to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion’ – whether done domestically or offshore, double the criminal penalty for evasion offences to ten years per-offence and increase the fine for evasion offences.”

“This election, there is only one obvious choice.”

“For a New Zealand for New Zealanders, vote Reform.”
