ACT’s David Seymour blames spike in supermarket crime on Government’s plan to reduce prison populationThe ACT Party is blaming a spike in crime at supermarkets on the Government’s plan to reduce the prison population. ACT are manipulating the Prison and Crime narrative. They say the soft-on-crime-cuddle-a-crim Labour Party are fecklessly letting out 4000 prisoners while the crime rate soars. When the National Party tightened Prison policy they allowed for non violent offenders to apply for home detention while in prison. What is generating the current crime wave is the same thing that is generating crime waves throughout the post-covid Western World.
