Aimie Hines: Retail NZ Manager of Public Affairs and Policy Advice on ACT's new crime policy

Retail NZ is giving the tick of approval to the ACT Party's latest policy for tougher penalties for attacks on workers. The party wants judges to consider a person suffering violent crime at work as an aggravating factor to toughen up the sentence. It would allow consideration of things like attacks on a person working alone, or someone who has an adjoining home. Retail NZ's Aimie Hines, says it's encouraging. She says the proposal is an important conversation to have, and retail workers have to feel supported by the justice system should they be victims of crime.
