Wrong focus

Ron Mark is upset that 8.4 percent of our prison population are non-New Zealanders.

That's pretty good considering 23 percent of people normally residing in New Zealand were born overseas.

Now if we could get Maori under-represented to the same degree, 7% instead of 50%, the prison population would drop to 3,779 rather than 6,630
