Can you please put politics posts in [email protected]?
I've messaged you a couple of times over the last week or so but you don't seem to have seen this.

You didn't know it existed? Your account is here at lemmy.nz, it would show any posts in the local feed so you might still see them.
I'm assuming I never actually looked. Or at least never noticed.
Yeah, imma idiot. It's right there in my local feed. Derp.
Haha well now you know!
Sorry!! I thought it could also belong here
We try to keep politics in a separate community, it was by request of the community as not everyone wants to see politics and also it can quickly take over the community since there is so much politically happening at the moment.
If it's directly about the government (a government department, government decision, or a member of the parliament such as this Justice Minister, then it should go in [email protected]
Thanks for understanding 🙂
Counter-proposal: All law enforcement measures and punishments must be assessed and approved by an independent board of psychologists.
We're not talking about fraud, tax evasion, or burglary where people sit down and plan a crime, making a cost-benefit analysis, and saying "you know what, good idea, but the cross product of likelihood that we get caught and penalty if we do is too high, I'm gonna sit this one out".
How about you take the extra 180K per person that you're proposing we flush down the prison system, and direct it into better mental health services, and improved welfare systems, which will actually reduce the instances of such spur-of-the-moment crimes.
Prevention isn't nearly as flashy and visible a strategy. But wouldn't it be nice
If we prevent it, how would we campaign on "cracking down on crime"?
