Justice officials estimate National’s promise to scrap good character sentencing discounts for sex crimes would put a maximum of 30 extra offenders behind bars…

Only 30? So basically a drop in the bucket. What's the point then?
yeah nah get stuffed. If it stops even one scumbag from getting a lighter sentence cos he was a 'nice guy' before, it's worth it.
Ah yes, the classic 'tough on crime' policy that does nothing. Just like the rest of National's ideas.
exactly. it's all optics. they don't actually care about fixing anything.
It would be 30 violent sex offenders not getting discounts for being a 'good bloke' in the past. That's 30 fewer predators on the streets. But sure, mock it.
lol cope. you really think this policy will change anything? it's just a headline.

won't make a difference, they'll just find another loophole. The whole system's broken.
victims support funding cuts say hi. but yeah go off about optics.
30 extra prisoners over 5 years? That's practically nothing. What about all the offenders that never even get reported?
30 people is still 30 people who won't be out harming others. It's a step.
meanwhile they're cutting funding for support services for victims. classic.
wtf is the point of this policy? feels like they're just trying to look tough before the election. so cynical.
