I realise it was rhetorical, but too many police would have to admit their own faults if they started taking domestic and sexual violence seriously.

lmao

quote:

Key retaliated during Question Time, accusing Davis and Labour of taking the side of sex offenders by backing the detainees.

"These people, some of them are rapists, some of them are child molesters, and some of them are murderers and these are the people that the Labour Party is saying are more important to support than New Zealanders who deserve protecting when they come back here.

"Mr Davis, if you want to put yourself on the side of sex offenders, go ahead my son, but we'll defend New Zealanders."

John Key taking a pretty principled stand that National stands by New Zealanders (that deserve protecting when they get here) (violent offenders aren't New Zealanders) (they can stay in Australian concentration camps) (in the name of mateship)

I dunno if they are being held on Christmas Island but some of the people being deported don't even have a conviction.

I can't help but think that setting up a right-wing xenophobic lunatic's idea of a 'detention center' and then bungling the poo poo out of it is like a concerted effort to become America 2.0.

well i mean key makes some pretty good points on the assumption that every single one of those offenders is what he accuses them of being.
he's gonna look like a right dickhead if it should come out that a majority, hell even a minority, hell even one of those offenders is neither a child molestor, rapist, or murderer.

there are people in detention who haven't committed crimes, but yeah I'm not sure if any of them are on Christmas Island. There are people there with parking/speeding violations tho.

Key simultaneously has no information about detainees on Christmas Island, but can also confidently say they deserve to be there.

Key simultaneously thinks that you can't focus on the fact that New Zealanders are being detained because it's a blanket policy across countries, but also that you should focus on the rapists and murderers that are there despite the fact that it's a blanket policy across convictions.

The man is truly made of political jelly.

As I said elsewhere, I imagine that Key would first have to find out if the turtle was a good turtle, if asked the proverbial "turtle on its back in the desert" question.

edit: I forgot to include the Sabin/Famous New Zealander thing from the start of the year. Where has that gone?
