Wāhine Māori Everlee Wihongi has been kidnapped and imprisoned by ICE. Free Everlee and abolish prisons everywhere. More info via this article by @davidfarrier.com www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

The Office of the Auditor-General's report demonstrates that providing housing to those leaving prison reduces homelessness and reoffending. Given this, state housing privatisation, emergency housing access restrictions and the move-on orders must end. newsroom.co.nz/2026/05/10/n...

The Policing Amendment Bill must be scrapped, because if it passes, then it will lead to clamp downs on protest in Aotearoa like what happened in New South Wales when equivalent legislation was passed. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

The seclusion of Jay for half of his life is an ableist form of incarceration that violates his human rights. The practice of seclusion must end, its authorising legislation must be repealed and those with disabilities must receive help, not handcuffs. www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/i...

The Government is quietly legalising the mass photographing of rangatahi Māori by police. Submissions on this Bill close at 2pm on Wednesday 22nd April. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

Please sign this petition by Harm Reduction Coalition Aotearoa calling for the repeal of the carceral Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 and replace it with legislation that legalises all drugs and has a human rights and public health approach to drug use. petitions.parliament.nz/0ab5ed2a-54c...

You have until Wednesday 22nd April to submit against the Government's bill that will allow Police to photograph you and your kids for any reason and erode our political and civil liberties. You can make a submission and find a guide to submit here: papa.org.nz/2026/04/12/p...

Content warning: suicide The Government has blood on their hands, as their failure to provide support to those released from prison led to them taking their lives. This will only end when the Government provides comprehensive reintegration support. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Te Kāhui must receive the funding they need to continue operating because their creative writing course has transformed the lives of the incarcerated people who have participated in it, as their recently released book Wāhine Inside demonstrates. thespinoff.co.nz/books/04-04-...

Aotearoa whānau, join us on the National Day of Action on Sunday 29th March to oppose the Government's proposed carceral and anti-homeless Move-On Orders legislation! You can find out if there's an event in your area via the picture below! #HousingNotHandcuffs

The Government is so hellbent on expanding the Police's surveillance powers while also eroding our civil liberties that it's willing to override a Supreme Court ruling limiting Police surveillance powers and ignore the Privacy Commissioner's warnings. lawnews.nz/administrati...

Tāmaki whānau, come along to this march from Aotea Square to Ellen Melville Centre on Sunday 29th March from 5PM as part of the National Day of Action against the Government's carceral and anti-homeless Move-On orders as well as housing justice! www.facebook.com/events/95448...

Tāmaki whānau, please head along to this event on Friday 27th March from 7PM-9PM at Ellen Melville Centre by Te Kāhui Creative Writing that's launching the book Wāhine Inside, which compiles writings by currently and formerly incarcerated wāhine. www.eventbrite.com/e/wahine-ins...

Phones should be in every prison cell, as incarcerated people's connection with their whānau through phone calls improves their mental health and helps them prepare to reintegrate into the community after they're released from prison. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/prison-ph...

The Government's legislation to ban protests outside homes will restrict our right to protest and will lead to us going down the repressive path of Australia and Britain. This bill must be scrapped. newsroom.co.nz/2026/02/26/b...

Awatea is right: this Ministry of Justice factsheet adds to the mountain of evidence demonstrating the racism and sexism that wāhine Māori suffer under the criminal legal system. This will only end through abolition feminism as well as decolonisation. www.rnz.co.nz/news/te-manu...

Aucklanders through this protest have said it loud and clear: homelessness should be addressed through providing homes and care, not through move-on orders, police brutality and incarceration. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The Government is further empowering Police to harass our most vulnerable people. Laws like this make it disgustingly clear that the only accommodation that this government is prepared to fund is prisons. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

While many Kiwis enjoy summer on the beach, for incarcerated people, summer is torture, as their prison cells turn into furnaces, while Corrections has no regulations to cool cells. This torture can end through improving prison conditions and decarceration. newsroom.co.nz/2026/02/19/f...

The Government's failed tough on crime policies are leading to them fast-tracking the construction of prisons that have worse living conditions for incarcerated people. This will keep happening until all prison expansion ends and decarceration begins. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

This horrific incident is one of a mountain of cases of incarcerated people being denied prompt access to quality healthcare. Corrections' response that this happened due to staff turnover illustrates why decarceration must be implemented. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Dr Paula Toko King is right: prison expansion will make our communities less safe, intensify intergenerational harm and worsen the health of whānau who go to prison. The solution is ending prison expansion and engaging in decarceration. e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-...

The Government is changing the Crimes Act to make citizens' arrests legal. Even the majority of the retail sector lobbyists are against this move. It will endanger people further and do nothing to address the drivers of low level crime, like retail theft. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/09-...

Content warning: gender violence This horrific instance of gender violence and the cops refusal to engage in accountability illustrates how Police are a patriarchal institution. Such gender violence will only end when the Police are defunded, disarmed and disbanded. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The only reason that Corrections is starting an absurd trial of hospital hubs for incarcerated people sent to hospital is because Corrections continues to deny high-quality healthcare to incarcerated people inside prison. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Corrections are breaking the law everyday by denying prisoners access the bare minimum owed to them under domestic and international law. Failed tough on crime policies are intensifying this problem, the solution to which is to engage in decarceration. newsroom.co.nz/2025/12/18/h...

Double bunking is unsafe and inhumane. Corrections is failing in its duty to keep people safe because consecutive governments have put savings ahead of people's lives and wellbeing. We need to end double bunking now. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The cops apology to the woman who was trying to hold former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming accountable rings hollow when they're still prosecuting her. These charges must be dropped immediately. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

The perfect victim narrative spelled out within policing by the recent IPCA report impacts every aspect of policing and justice under our current model. We need transformative justice where the humanity of each and every person is always front and centre. thespinoff.co.nz/society/13-1...
