GOLRIZ GHAHRAMAN (Green): Thank you, Madam Speaker. It is not a pleasure to rise and speak to this bill, the Crimes (Robbery) Amendment Bill, tonight in the House. It is another example of superfluous, off-point, archaic policy by the National Party Opposition, especially on criminal justice. We know that the Prime Minister's chief scientist, the very well respected Sir Peter Gluckman, after proper research last term, declared that imprisonment has failed. To push a failed policy that does not work to keep communities safe, that does not restore victims, that does not bring down crime rates, at great cost, both financial and social, has now gone past the point of being just bad policy-making, just bad politicking; it is callous.
