Labour doesn't like prisons

Found this objection in the Summary of Objections published on the elections website. (Have to go to page 38 of the file)

Objection by New Zealand Labour Party
Objects to the name ‘Rimutaka’ for the proposed electorate as the name is only relevant for the northern part of the electorate and has negative associations with the name of Rimutaka Prison. Suggested solution: Name the electorate ‘Hutt North’.

There you have it - Labour thinks "Rimutaka" stinks as a name because it's also the name of a prison. No wonder they let Corrections get so bad with an attitude like that.
