The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB
A retired judge believes the public shouldn't be driving policy when it comes to law and order. Party leader David Seymour wants to boost prison capacity by 500 beds and toughen sentencing for offending against vulnerable workers. Act also wants new youth justice beds under Corrections and ankle bracelets on youth offenders. Rosemary Riddell told Mike Hosking that what we need is prisons with serious rehabilitation. She understands dairy owners want to see tough punishments but if policy is driven by public outcry, we'll get it all wrong. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
