Mark Mitchell: National Party's concerns over the increase in bail numbers

National's concerned about the number of people being bailed despite police opposition. Last year it sat at slightly over 5000, much higher than the just over 2000 recorded in 2018. The party's Police spokesperson Mark Mitchell claims the Government promising to reduce prison numbers and repealing three strikes has given judges the signal to grant bail more. He told Mike Hosking that the bail increase comes alongside other concerning statistics. Mitchell says there are increases in violent crime, victimisation, and ramraids.
