A prisoner voting ban shows again how few checks there are on Parliamentary power
#15
If you commit a crime in another country you don't loose the right to vote in NZ that is fundamental to your citizenship, it should be the same if you do that in NZ.

BANISH | English meaning - Cambridge Dictionary
Cambridge Dictionary
https://dictionary.cambridge.org › dictionary › banish
to send someone away, especially from their country, and not allow them to come back. He was banished to an uninhabited island for a year

Banish is definitely not the same as imprison. Losing your right to vote is a big thing, but of course it really isn't with the state of the parties these days voting is a joke really, just a symbolic gesture that you do have the power to change the direction your country is taking.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
