You are technically correct...
But it is natural for a lot of the stuff around Labour's excess to end up on here as the current govt remains in "fix it" mode.
So wasteful spending like this by the previous govt is legitimate in the context of the new govt (which is far more prudent with taxpayer money).

What is truly fascinating is that the Justice Dept stopped collating information from 2017 (after the pro-crims Ardern & Maori cabal took office) when the data collated in the first 5 years showed the policy working.
One must wonder why.
And who instructed the Justice Dept to stop collating the data.
The answer is simple though - the pro-crims government simply could not bear to face the truth.
