SENSIBLE SENTENCING TRUST ARE NOT WHITE SUPREMACISTS, REDNECKS OR THE "WHITE ENEMY AGAINST MAORI"

(28th April 2008)

This is the racist label some radical Maori are spreading in the community. They have accused me of being a mouth piece used by "white supremacist red necks and the white enemy - the Sensible Sentencing Trust".

They also go so far as to accuse me of being a mouth piece for NZCPR Muriel Newman's debating chamber website whom they labeli n the same way. Not satisfied with this they go on to include author Allan Duff in the same category as me. These are the very people who worship Kim Workman who works for Rethinking Crime and Punishment. Kim believes their is a better way than locking up offenders. His role is to support prisoners and lobby parliament for their needs. He also wants conjugal rights for prisoners.

Kelly Te Heuheu, Maori crime issues specialist for the Sensible Sentencing Trust says this is truly tragic for our country. It exposed the high level of racism and a sad reality ingrained in our community. This brings the question of why our good Maori people are fleeing to Australia in high numbers. Enough is enough they say ...gangs, violent crime, race based government policies, palaces and hotels instead of prisons, ridiculous laws, the list goes on and they want no part of it!.

For Kelly the Sensible Sentencing Trust are the most caring and compassionate people she has ever met. They work to the extreme with much compassion and dedication. They serve people from all walks of life; Maori, European, Chinese Asian and every other culture in need of help and support.

Kelly is proud and humble to be part of a group of caring people whose vision is the safety and security of all people.

The miserable existence of the racist radicals must be a very dark tunnel of despair and unhappiness.
