Melanie Taylor – Conservative

New Zealand’s preoccupation with rights, with very little reference to responsibilities has left us in a situation where some young people have realised that they can do whatever they like, with little or no consequences.

It’s time to hit the reset button.

Solutions include coming down hard on first time offenders, an overhaul of the current youth court system and reparation that fits the crime.

The Conservative Party believes in protecting and promoting the natural family unit, consisting of a mother, a father and children.

We will introduce family-friendly policies and strategies aiming to strengthen, promote and rebuild this pillar of our society.
