National Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but they should be strictly regulated to prevent mismanagement and corruption

While the National Party supports private sector involvement, they also recognize the need for regulation to prevent mismanagement and corruption. This is evident in their support for the Corrections (Contract Management of Prisons) Amendment Act 2009, which provides for oversight and accountability in privately managed prisons.

Agree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

The National Party would likely agree with this statement, as they have shown a preference for private sector involvement but also recognize the need for regulation. However, there is no specific historical example of the National Party addressing the issue of contractual occupancy quotas in prisons.

Disagree

No, private prisons will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit

The National Party's support for private prisons suggests they do not agree with the assertion that private prisons will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit. However, they have faced criticism over the performance of private prisons, such as the Serco-run Mt Eden prison, which could suggest some level of concern about the quality of services in private prisons.

Strongly disagree

No

The National Party has shown a preference for private sector involvement in various sectors, including prisons.
