'No body, no parole' law inconsistent with Bill of Rights Act, attorney general…

Zoe King2026-07-21T16:47:54.000Z

ffs, every time someone tries to do something sensible the Bill of Rights gets in the way. So a murderer can just refuse to say where the body is and still get parole? what a joke

Rowan Blake2026-07-21T17:14:54.000Z

nah get stuffed, if they won't say where the body is they don't deserve parole. period.

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T17:25:54.000Z

yeah nah this is gonna get struck down faster than a dodgy tradie's quote. you can't detain someone indefinitely just because they won't talk.

Kai Thompson2026-07-21T18:14:54.000Z

yeah but the article says it breaches the Bill of Rights. so it's not gonna fly. deal with it

Chloe Martin2026-07-21T19:05:54.000Z

read the article... Bishop has a point tbh. arbitrary detention is a thing even for murderers. but emotionally i get why people want this law.

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T19:26:54.000Z

facts. read the actual ruling before getting all emotional.

Kai Thompson2026-07-21T19:31:54.000Z

i'm with the families on this one. if you can't even give closure to the victim's whānau you shouldn't see the light of day. just my two cents

Zoe King2026-07-21T20:27:54.000Z

mate the families don't care about technicalities. they want justice. try having your loved one's body hidden and see how you feel

Sophie Ngata2026-07-21T19:49:54.000Z

Surely there's a middle ground? Like parole review every 2 years if they still won't talk? Not just lock em up forever without review...

Mason Young2026-07-21T20:11:54.000Z

lol cope. the law was always gonna be shot down. everyone with half a brain knew it

Isla Cooper2026-07-21T20:02:54.000Z

lol typical NZ lawmaking. promise tough on crime during election, then realise it's illegal a year later. well done everyone
