Martin Doyle Cartoon: Two wrongs

Click for big version.

The case being mounted in the Auckland High Court against John Key by prisoner Arthur Taylor has great merit. The law passed by Parliament in 2010 that blocks the right of prisoners to vote flies in the face of our own Bill of Rights. Section 12 of the NZBOR, one would have thought, guarantees the right to vote to all adults aged 18 and over.
