Labour introduces a new offence with the same penalty as the existing offence!

Stuff reports:

The Government will introduce a ram raid bill, to create a new offence and to allow police to prosecute 12-year-old ram raiders.

Under the proposed law, ram raiders could be imprisoned for up to 10 years, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said. The law change would also mean children who commit ram raids can be charged and tried at the Youth Court.

But the 10-year maximum sentence for ram raiding would not be any different from the existing penalty for burglary, which is also a maximum of 10 years. 

More window dressing.
