The Solicitor General updated the prosecution guidelines. This is what she said:
"The goals remain to ensure New Zealand continues to benefit from prosecution processes, which are underscored by the core values of transparency, equality and fair application of the law to all participants and reflect the legitimate public interest in prosecuting criminal offending."
So far so good. But then they get to this bit:
"The guidelines ask prosecutors to think carefully about particular decisions where a person is Māori, or a member of any other group disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice system... This does not promote different treatment based on ethnicity or membership of a particular group, it instead alerts prosecutors to situations and factors that may deliver inequitable outcomes for some people in those groups."
Quick question - what do you reckon that means?
Does it mean what you think it means, without the meaning being out so explicit that you go "what the hell, I thought we were getting rid of all this nonsense?”
And all this nonsense is the problem the Government has with race-based ideology.
They say a lot of one thing but are facing a tremendous amount of pushback on it.
As the universities collapse in global rankings, as published last week, at least surely in part because of their obsession with race, we now find the justice system is instructed to “think carefully”.
What is this disproportion they speak of?
Well, obviously when it comes to race, Māori are over-represented in crime. Ask a simple question - why? The answer surely is because, sadly, they commit too much of it.
Another simple question - is by "thinking carefully" as instructed by the Solicitor General perhaps going to lead to lesser charges, whether in severity or numbers, and therefore the disproportion is balanced out a bit?
No reduction in the crime, just a reduction in the consequences.
Here's a final simple question - if the Government says we should not be having policy based on race, how do they explain this?

The Government may not but the Solicitor General absolutely does. This guideline need to put down like the sick dog it is, and fast.
How can she be allowed to continue in any role in a Westminster based judicial system?
Wide and rapid protest by citizens to their MPs/Ministers is vital. = the people must speak.
Quite frankly I'm appalled at the Solicitor Generals statement. It's racial, and is she sufficiently qualified for the position.
Without being facetious: because this person is expecting the system to morph into the "tribal rule" model fairly soon. She is securing her place as a CRT/DIE agent.
Is this the fallout from another 'Gender Appointment' under the Jacinda Regime, that has managed to bump into a reef of public distain?
Spot on Mike
"Making allowances" for bad behaviour is nothing short of enabling and condoning it, surely? So...if my vehicle is stolen and trashed by someone of Maori descent, is it any less "stolen or trashed" than if it were stolen by a non-Maori? Flies in the face of Democracy in my view. Maybe the Solicitor General should take a wee peek at George Orwell's Animal Farm, where "All animals are equal. But some are more equal than others." An allegorical look at the Russian Revolution and Stalinism. Just saying.
