Aaron Hendry: Rough sleeper ban would do more harm

from The Weekend Collective · host Newstalk ZB

The Government has confirmed they're considering action to move rough sleepers out of Auckland's city centre.  Mayor Wayne Brown has given his go ahead, but the opposition as well as housing advocates have said a policy like this would just move the problem elsewhere and end up creating more harm.  No details have been released yet, ministers say they are still working through the issues and how to deal with them, but that hasn't stopped the controversy.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
