A National MP isn't worried his new Members' Bill could see wrongfully convicted prisoners locked away for life
5 January 2020
Tim Macindoe's lodged a Bill that would see convicted killers ineligible for parole... unless they reveal the location of their victim's body.
He says he's not concerned about the risk of wrongful convictions.
Macindoe says there's been the odd case in New Zealand... where this has happened, but his Bill doesn't make it absolutely mandatory for the parole board to deny parole.
He says his bill is simply trying to lessen the anguish victims' families have to endure.
