in the local hamilton paper was an insert from act and what they wanna do for the country, voilence is the biggest thing, a couple of years back there was a vote for harsher sentences - 97% voted for harsher penalties, labour did the opposite and past legislation that allows crims to only sit a 3rd of there original sentence. If u decide to shoot someone, your gonna get a sentence so you might as well take out a couple more people coz you know what? you'll still do the same sentence.
ACT
wanna make life mean life. and make a criminal accountable for EVERYTHNG he does, so if he kills five ppl, he gets 5 times more
sentencing than if he killed 1. Its a known fact that parole doesnt
work - 70% of paroled criminals reoffend within 2 years.
they wanna put an end to benefit dependancy as a lifestyle choice (i really like that one! then there'll be more tax for other things!).
even ensure that low-income working families are not worse off than beneficiaries.
they wan to get rid of this idea that maori trusts and communities get a lower tax rate than others. (how racist is that?)
not to mention decreasing income tax - which in theory will give us all more money wich we spend and then the government gets more in GST.
anyway, ACT seem the most sensible - becuase ultimately we as car enthusiasts need to either vote for ACT or national. why not vote for the most promising one! (ACT!)
