MIL-OSI New Zealand: Politics and Human Rights – Chilling Government proposal to remove voting rights

The High Court has previously ruled it is an unjustifiable limitation on the rights protected by the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act and made a “declaration of inconsistency”, which was upheld in a Supreme Court decision. The 2023 Independent Electoral Review stated all prisoners should have the right to vote. Lisa Woods, Movement Building […]
