When I first worked on police and sat on these panels and saw how they operated, I can say firsthand that people who would have entered the justice system were prevented from doing so. They provide real opportunity for local autonomy, local communities, local marae to work hand in hand with police and their people to make sure we have positive long-term outcomes for our next generation. I'm proud to be part of a Government that delivers a system that enables that engagement early on and does not resort to just courts and prison as a knee-jerk reaction, instead of addressing the underlying factors that are driving that offending in the first place. I think that is the way we will work forward to have a better New Zealand, and that is what Budget 2021 delivers.
