Green MP Tamatha Paul has launched a fundraising campaign for a group wanting to “defund the police” and close the court system.
Paul has been attracting attention over recent weeks for her comments about policing and support of groups that call for the abolition of police, jails, and courts. While she and the Green Party have denied wanting to “defund the police”, Paul’s continued support for those pursuing that goal has led to further questions for her party.
Her fundraiser for People Against Prisons Aotearoa started over the weekend. It led to ACT Party justice spokesperson Todd Stephenson calling for an explanation from the Greens about whether the party supported police abolition.
