‘A country fit for criminals' or words to that effect come to mind after hearing our Justice Minister Andrew Little looking to reduce jail sentences by one third for those manufacturing meth commercially. Why do we not insert full page ads inviting applications for meth manufacture. 'Be in quick because you may miss out. Great returns, minimal risk.”

For goodness sake New Zealand wake up to this socialist experiment.

While I agree with lesser jail time it has got to be linked with stronger consequences for damaging behaviour, in the form of corporal punishment.

Various degrees of caning will significantly lower our criminal population numbers. The countries that do corporal punishment have communities that thrive, are healthy and safe.
