Let me firstly deal with the issue of why National opposes prisoners voting. The average number of offences that are committed by a person that is sentenced to prison in New Zealand is 24 convictions. The sort of notion that's presented by the Government—that these are people that have made one little mistake in their life—our corrections law makes plain that the only people that go to prison are those where the judge believes that all other options have been extended and will not work. And, secondly, it's a very practical issue. I've been privileged to be Minister of Corrections and I have talked to many corrections officers, and they would say it is impracticable to run an election in a prison. The nature of prisons is that we limit people's freedom of association; we limit their access to information. We can't have political candidates of all persuasions going through our prisons and campaigning for votes—it's not practicable. And equally, on this side of the House, we think it is a theoretical nonsense for prisoners to be able to stand for Parliament. Parliament is a serious, full-time job. It's something we have to do with a great deal of energy and effort, and the idea that someone who's serving a sentence in prison is able to stand for Parliament is a nonsense.
