Reasons for Supporting the New Party

As a Justice of the Peace I am acutely aware of the inadequacies of our Justice system, failing both victims of crime and offenders. The New Party's policies for dealing with crime and delivering effective rehabilitation will be a significant improvement. There are also widespread concerns about standards in our education system. Young people are our greatest asset and we simply must equip them with the knowledge and skills they need for the future.
