The latest example is Wellington chef Aakash Aakash, who has just been sentenced to 27 months in prison for a violent sexual assault and indecent acts committed in public. This wasn’t a minor offence. It was cruel, degrading, and deeply traumatic for the victim. Somehow, we as taxpayers are expected to pay for his stay behind bars - which I am sure would be a lot nicer than his home country.

New Zealand is prosecuting more sexual violence cases, and a growing number involve Indian men as the accused. Survivors say the system still fails them. Few are willing to talk about the pattern.

The article didn’t say whether Aakash is a citizen or a recent migrant, but that’s part of the problem, we’re never told. Time and time again, serious offenders are reported on, and their immigration status is quietly left out. Why? Because officials and journalists alike know how badly it reflects on the current immigration and vetting system.
If someone comes to this country and commits serious sexual or violent crimes, there should be no debate, deport them immediately after sentencing. It’s not heartless; it’s common sense. We cannot afford to be a dumping ground for people who contribute nothing but pain and cost.
It’s not just about deportation. We need to stop pretending that every new arrival is automatically an “asset” to New Zealand. I said it last week and I’ll say it again: we need more doctors and nurses, not more Uber drivers and chefs. That statement may have upset some people, but it wasn’t said to insult anyone - it was said because it’s true. Our immigration priorities are completely out of balance. Our infrastructure cannot handle more Uber drivers and their six children.

When people are doing everything right, working hard, paying taxes, and integrating properly, they’re welcome here. When people come here, offend, and leave others traumatised, it’s time to start asking serious questions about who we’re letting in and why.
New Zealanders are tired of footing the bill - whether it’s for emergency housing, welfare fraud, or now prison costs for violent offenders who may not even belong here. There’s nothing racist about expecting basic accountability. It’s about protecting the country we live in and ensuring that immigration actually benefits New Zealand, rather than draining it.
If someone abuses our trust, breaks our laws, and destroys lives, they shouldn’t expect to stay. It’s that simple.

It is plain commonsense Matua, except logic and commonsense seem to be a thing of the past. I imagine most people would agree with deportation immediately after sentencing.
I agree with you on deportation.
Deportation after conviction should, as you state, be instant.
It should involve driving the miscreant to the 12 mile limit and making them walk the rest of the way.
In the UK, they should be putting the misfits back into a rubber dinghy and pushing them back out into the Channel.
Looks like they have the same problems with illegals abusing the hospitality given them.
Unless you were born here, all citizenship should be on a permanent probation basis. Even if one have been granted citizenship, one can be deported back to their home country if they commit a serious crime
They kick them out in OZ, do the same here. Problem solved and money saved.
"Prisons" in New Zealand have indeed evolved into "home away from home" only better. Evidence?
AI Overview Yes, at least one New Zealand prison, the Otago Corrections Facility, has underfloor heating. This is considered a "state-of-the-art facility" and part of its heating system, along with a power-intensive system that also includes flat-screen TVs for each wing, according to Terra Therma. The use of underfloor heating in prisons was debated in 2006, with some politicians expressing concern about the cost and justifying it as necessary to meet the required minimum temperature of \(16^{\circ }C\) under the Building Code, though others argued blankets would be a cheaper alternative.
But what about my abs?
Yes, many prisons in New Zealand have gymnasiums and exercise yards, with access often requiring registration and being supervised by prison staff. All prisoners are entitled to at least one hour of daily exercise, which can include using gym equipment, playing sports like basketball, or participating in other activities like kapa haka.
What about my kai?
A national menu with a four-week cycle is provided, and prisoners can make a written request to switch between the standard and vegetarian/vegan options. Prisoners can also supplement their diets by buying groceries from the weekly prison canteen, with a weekly spending limit.
What about my love life?
While private visits are not allowed, New Zealand prisons do allow prisoners to be married or enter into a civil union, as long as the ceremony does not threaten the security or order of the prison. The couple must follow specific guidelines, such as a maximum of 12 guests.
So you see Dear Taxpayers, Life on the Inside aint half as tough as Life on the Outside, when you actually have to pay for stuff,
without underfloor heating, no gym membership, and bring up the kids on whatever food you can afford.
Send these miscreants back on the next plane. Save us thousands.
