The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Sundays
The Attorney-General says the Government's crackdown on ram raiding youth is inconsistent with the Bill of Rights. A Bill allowing 12 and 13 year olds to be charged for ram raid offences in the Youth Court passed its first reading in Parliament yesterday. It had support from Labour, National, and Act. David Parker says children have the right to be dealt with in an age appropriate way, to be free from unreasonable search, and freedom of expression. Former Attorney-General Chris Finlayson told Mike Hosking he's right, and describes the legislation as rushed. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
