There are other inconsistencies in this bill which I'd like to touch on. The Minister of Justice has given a number of contributions in this debate, in first, second, and third readings, and a couple during the committee of the whole House stage, and in his explanation for why he supports this bill and why he's brought this bill to the House, he's said that his position is that prisoners should be able to vote for the Government and for the Parliament that will represent them when they are released. Again, I can understand that position. It's a relatively coherent position. But this bill, and the changes that are made in it, and the additional changes that we made last week, don't do that. They don't, for example, cater for a prisoner who was sentenced to 10 years who might be due for release next year. That person will not be able to vote in the upcoming election. Nor will they be able to vote in council elections or in district health board elections—for as long as they exist, I suppose, given the other measures that are being proposed by the Government at the moment. So this bill doesn't cater for those people. It prevents them from voting for the Government, for the Parliament, and for councils and DHBs that will represent them upon release. So it doesn't fit with Mr Little's stated goal for this bill at all.
