Support for SST increases exponentially
29th June 2017
The Sensible Sentencing Trust says the response to its latest Newsletter has been phenomenal. Trust Founder, Garth
McVicar said that the Newsletter headline article on the demise of the family seemed to have been the catalyst for the
increased support.
“Judging by the response to this article I would say that a political party that has the courage to make a policy
statement on incentivising and re-inventing the family would be a vote winner.”
The article that appeared in the SST Newsletter:
The REAL moral and fiscal failure – is the demise of the NATURAL Family
The Prime Minister Bill English is on record as saying that prisons are a ‘moral and fiscal failure’. The then deputy PM made the statement at a Families Commission forum in 2011.
At the same forum the Prime Minister also said ‘it would be good if we could have less young people coming into the prison pipeline’.
The Prime Minister either failed to mention – or chose to ignore – the fact that New Zealand has such a high prison
population is that successive Governments – including this National Govt – have been instrumental in the demise of the
one essential and basic ingredient of a safe, patriotic and prosperous society – Mum and Dad – ‘Family’.
As the Family has been decimated the environment for crime has flourished with an ever-growing cesspool of unwanted,
unloved, lawless delinquents to ensure the pipeline to prison works at an ever increasing capacity.
