Just read an article in The Herald. www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10394316

Story story. Rotorue council has voted to ban anyone convicted of 5 or more dishonestly offenses from the CBD. Good on them I say. But reading further on the NEW ZEALAND COUNCIL FOR CIVIL LIBERTIES has objected and said the proposal was unlawful because it took away the right to freedom of movement.

"It's unprincipled and will be offensive in terms of the Bill of Rights Act in that it is blocking them from the king's highway, or public places," said chairman Michael Bott.

Blood boiling I look then up and can only find one decent link www.wellington.govt.nz/cgi-bin/com_dir.cgi?mode=more&id=NEWZEALA1062194643

No email and I'm not riled up enough for a phone call. Typical of the sneaky bastards not to have a website or email.

In my opinion if you've been convicted of these types of crimes on multiple occasions, you're probably pond life, on the dole and are an oxygen thief. If I had my way you wouldn't be in prison since that would cost me money. You'd be on a small island somewhere as part of a reality show, with a title along the lines of 'Survival of the fittest'.

Thank you.

The Corrections Department - no doubt worried about the effects of noise on the delicate constitutions of the prisoners.

Either that or the availability of a large number of potential get away cars
