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...

Join Block the Ban and Queer Endurance in Defiance's national protests against the government's ban on puberty blockers for trans youth. Let's show the coalition of chaos what we think about their culture war.

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...

The cover-up by Police to protect Jevon McSkimming did not happen because of a few bad apples but because the Police are an institution that exists to reproduce patriarchal colonial capitalism in Aotearoa through violence. The only solution is abolition. thespinoff.co.nz/society/13-1...

*Submissions are open until Wednesday 26 November for the Redress System for Abuse in State Care Bill.* www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak... One year ago, the government apologised to survivors of abuse in state care but one year on nothing has changed.

The massive cover-up of allegations made against former Deputy Commissioner Jevon McSkimming gets right at key contradictions in policing itself. The police exist in order to maintain social order - but that social order is fundamentally unjust.

The IPCA report into the McSkimming cover-up is out and it is absolutely damning. To protect people from abuses by cops and hold the organisation to account, the Crown must implement the IPCA report's recommendations and improve the IPCA's statutory powers.

A young woman contacted the police to tell them Jevon McSkimming, a senior cop, had sexually abused her. Instead of investigating any of her claims, the police executive closed ranks to protect McSkimming and had his accuser charged with harassment. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/jevon-mcs...

We invite you along to draw, write, or decorate holiday cards to go to people behind bars during this holiday season, whilst sharing kai & connection with other wonderful people from the community.

Lisa Woods of @amnesty.org Aotearoa is right: the Government's legislation to ban protesting outside government officials homes is an attack on our right to protest and on our democracy. This bill must be binned immediately. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...
