Just as he did at his first parole hearing last year, 32-year-old Anthony Noel Kloosterman opted not to see the board last month.
"I am not seeking release and I’m not prepared to fulfil the prerequisite criteria to have myself in a position of eligibility," he wrote in October.
Before the most recent parole date he wrote: "Nothing to add".
Kloosterman was jailed in 2017 for attacking his victim with a metal shearing implement and four years later got 12 months’ supervision for further domestic abuse.
While serving that sentence he was banned from contacting the victim and wore an electronic tracker to ensure he remained 10km from her Lawrence home. But in November 2021, he hacked off his anklet and travelled back roads to get to the woman’s house.
She was never warned by Corrections or police that Kloosterman was on the loose.
The man subjected the woman to a prolonged beating, attacking her with a rolling pin and threatening to cut her ears off with a knife, the court heard at sentencing.
She ran from her home when the opportunity arose and when police arrested Kloosterman he told them next time would be worse.
He was jailed for nearly six years.
Despite there being a recommendation the inmate complete specialist treatment for violent offenders while behind bars, he had refused to undertake the assessment for the course.
Similarly, he declined to do alcohol and drug counselling because "he did not feel ready", panel convener Serina Bailey said.
Kloosterman had been working outside the wire but had experienced problems there, too.
He was stood down for three months after making inappropriate comments in a letter to his case manager.
"He has since acknowledged he could have articulated his concerns in a less aggressive way," Ms Bailey said.
However, Kloosterman had attained a small business certificate while serving his term and was planning on undertaking further study through Massey University.
Despite that, the parole decision was straighforward.
"The board have very real concerns about Mr Kloosterman’s risk," Ms Bailey said.
"The circumstances of the latest offending is especially concerning."
Kloosterman was urged to rethink his attitude towards rehabilitation.
His next parole hearing was set for September 2026.
