Wow, denying parole for threatening a fellow prisoner? Shocking. Could've sworn he was a model inmate.
11 years for slavery seems light tbh. Should've been life. The justice system is a joke.
nah the system's stuffed. Longer sentences needed.
Slavery in NZ?? How is this even happening in 2026? We need to talk more about modern slavery.
mate, not enough people realise how common this is.
Good. Keep him locked up. People like him don't deserve a second chance after that.

lol cope, he'll be back out in a few years watch
Denied parole? Oh no... anyway. 🤷♂️
should be longer, this is disgusting.
I feel sorry for the victims. This guy is a waste of space. Hope he rots.
Wonder what he threatened the prisoner with. Probably the same control tactics he used on his victims. Sick.
threatening a prisoner? what a flog
11 years for slavery and trafficking. 11 years. What a load of shit.
