Greens now campaigning against prisons as well as police
Stuff reports:
Green MP Tamatha Paul has launched a fundraising campaign for a group wanting to “defund the police” and close the court system.
Paul has been attracting attention over recent weeks for her comments about policing and support of groups that call for the abolition of police, jails, and courts. While she and the Green Party have denied wanting to “defund the police”, Paul’s continued support for those pursuing that goal has led to further questions for her party.
Her fundraiser for People Against Prisons Aotearoa started over the weekend.
The Greens are radical extremists. Paul has been very consistent in her views. Here is what PAPA’s policy agenda is:
- Abolish all prisons
- Abolish the Police
- Make it illegal to take criminal records into account in employment
- Close the NZ court system
- Ensure every prisoner has an irrevocable right of access to LGBTIQ-affirming literature!
- Have community based sentences for rapists and murderers
Paul is not just a backbench Green MP. She is their Spokesperson for Police and Corrections.
