The Luxon speech writers are playing on voters' ignorance of what a "boot camp" would actually consist of. They are implying that it would be some kind of Outward Bound plus ankle bracelets, whereas in fact it would be brutal, expensive and basically adult level punishment for kids as young as 10. No recognition of rehab, education or redressing the imbalances of colonisation and inequality of opportunity.
