New sentencing stucture for repeat offenders?

Guy already serving life for a brutal murder (of a child), has a pop at someone else in prison and gets a CONCURRENT sentence.

Does that mean if we get pinged for a motoring offence and get points on the licence, that any other offences committed that also attract points, can be concurrent? If not, why not? Or are motorists more evil than killers?

This prick needs a 303 sized hole between the eyes. Save the country millions and help keep others safe. Pathetic pussy PC country we live in.

If you can afford a passport and a ticket you are welcome to leave.

Headcat, you Pc pussy wimp. Did I offend you? Dickhead.

Just got you a boarding pass mate AMBOs paying .

If he has a life sentence already, unless you live in the good ol' US of A, how do you add to that?

waste of money, a 22 is cheaper.

Think in NZ a life sentence is 10 years? Bought down to 3 months for good behavior no doubt. That way scum can reoffend and keep the corrupt lawyers etc rolling in money constantly representing them.
How about the poor old 85 yo old down south bashed in his own home? if they find the butt plugs that did this they will probably get 20 hours community service and an anger management course.

Motoring offences arent convictions except if kill someone while driving so different set of rules .

socram, Sep 21, 11:17am
Exactly! Different set of rules. The killer had got 14 years and has copped another 7, but wait a minute, he hasn't copped anything.

As an ex UK Prison Officer for over six years, the maximum sentence for someone already doing life was then '15 days bread and water', meaning the life of a Prison officer was worth just 9lbs of bread, instead of normal food. (Three days on, 3 days off etc.) Even that has been abolished by the do-gooders.

Motorist can lose his/her job and income for racking up a few too many penalty points, just for exceeding the (arbitrary) speed limit of 100kph, yet without being involved in an accident. An attempted murder for a lifer (sic) gets what exactly? Zip. Why not a consecutive sentence for goodness sake?

A life sentence in NZ is a life sentence, but it usually has a minimum custodial period and this is what most people focus on as being the full sentence. It's not.

Guys we just need to agree that our collective political leaning on this MB is anti PC and slightly to the left of Attila the Hun!

Let's leave the moral hand wringing to the other MB's and get back to the important topics in life. Cars, beer, big boobies,. etc.

jmma, Sep 21, 1:25pm
I second that, mainly the big boobies part (o:

clark20, Sep 21, 1:47pm
"Like"

sr2, Sep 21, 1:50pm
I couldn't agree more re the big boobies; and to think Mrs sr2 says I'm shallow!

mrfxit, Sep 21, 2:41pm
I think concurrent really just effectively means that parole is extended out a bit further before they can apply.

sr2, Sep 21, 4:23pm
No further posting in this thread unless big boobies are mentioned, (apologies to the OP).

Something to get us focused on the important stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRs58A2lvR4

ema1, Sep 21, 4:48pm
Agreed . high speed lead is far cheaper and dare I say it probably a more effective deterrent?

lookoutas, Sep 21, 5:33pm
Dickhead was mentioned - does that qualify?

socram, Sep 21, 6:55pm
About as big a boob as there could possibly be, but I take your point.

We motorists are obviously the nation's worst villains.

Needs judderbars.

intrade, Sep 22, 11:44pm
i agree you know the only thing we still have over some other countrys is the right to say what we think .

intrade, Sep 22, 11:51pm
