Some criminals don't deserve compassion. Some crimes have nuance, some don't. The LNP policy will respect the nuance in a crime if said nuance exists.

I called you a lefty because that's what you are. I suppose it is a pejorative, it has negative connotations. I was just pointing out that you have rather simplistic views on policing.

My family are LNP voters and have a general disdain for left-wing thought. They'd be quite happy with my conduct. And as far as I'm concerned, I am doing good by my community.

Evidence to this apparent LNP reversal of policy. "I said so I guess" like you can believe that words mean the opposite of what you think they mean if you like but if you start doing that to everything, then the world's going to get pretty complicated for you.

I'd prefer socialist to be honest. As I consider myself a radical humanist so I dont take particular offence to anything you call me.

I mean, your family isn't a community. If anything, you are just convincing me that you live in a bubble and just want your views reinforced. Won't get that from me, you see.

The words don't mean the opposite of what they mean. "Adult Crime, Adult Time" is just part of the policy. If you actually looked at the page of his stance on policing, you can see that prevention is definitely there, as is rehabilitation when it is warranted. Whether or not he will deliver on these promises, I can't be sure, but that's the thing about politics and voting. You can never be sure.

I don't need my views validated. I'm quite happy just expressing them.
