David Farrar: Green priorities

The Greens are campaigning on:

• Funding gangs to do drug rehabilitation

• Their right to campaign at gang pads for votes and selfies

• Repealing the gang patch law

• Allowing all prisoners to vote, even mass murderers

• Abolishing life sentences for murder

• Abolishing preventive detention for repeat sexual offenders

• Allow home detention sentences for murder

• Ban imprisonment as an option for people who breach parole and bail conditions

• Have all defendants up to the age of 25 sent to the youth court instead of criminal court

This is all in their policy.
