In nz, "tough on crime" means cracking down on youths robbing corner food stores, by sending these children to military training camps, and hiding gang patches.
It doesn't mean being tough on domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault. It doesn't mean crackdown on wage theft by employers, violence by racists, male supremacist and gun violence, terrorism targeting minorities or men harming their former partners.
It's only targeting those that scare financially comfy conservative adults.
@Br3nda also, why doesn’t tax evasion have the same response and consequences as benefit fraud? It’s the same crime - robbing from the public purse.
