Big win for Conservative Party
The Conservative Party has chalked up its first significant victory, before being officially elected to Parliament.
Justice Spokesman for the Conservative Party, Garth McVicar, believes the announcement that National will introduce work
in all public prisons was influenced by the Conservatives having the same policy.
“While we congratulate National on this sensible policy it is also an indication of just how influential the
Conservative Party will be after it is elected to Parliament.”
“Reintroducing work in prison was something I lobbied for in my previous role with Sensible Sentencing and is a key
policy for the Conservative Party.”
“I am sure most New Zealanders will be wondering why it took so long to do something so obvious. Having a good work
ethic is something that keeps most of us out of prison; I don’t think its rocket science that those who leave prison
with work skills have a better opportunity to stop committing crime.”
McVicar said judging on the latest polls there is no doubt the Conservative Party will be in Parliament after the
Election.
“This is very exciting times for New Zealand and I look forward to being in a position to implement many of our other
polices to ensure the core principle of our Justice System is focussed on safer streets and public protection.”
