The next point is judicial interference. The Government is saying the judges want this. Well, the judges should be putting in place that law as it stands. They shouldn't be telling Parliament what the law should be when it comes to sentencing. Parliament sets the sentencing laws in New Zealand. Parliament sets the sentencing policy for the judiciary. The judiciary's job is to apply that law, not to try and get around it. This is incredibly concerning. When I read the regulatory impact statement, I learnt that there are judges that are holding back on sentencing some people in expectation of this law coming into effect. I find it absolutely outrageous that there are judges who are holding back on sentencing because they're waiting for this piece of legislation. This Government has sent a very clear message throughout the criminal justice system: we want to see the prison population drop. They've sent their message very clearly and it is being put into effect throughout the criminal justice system. I find that incredibly, incredibly worrying.
