Carmel Sepuloni: Deputy Prime Minister and Labour MP on the Government's approach to youth crime
from Election 2023 · host Newstalk ZB
Labour says it's taking a long-term approach to reducing youth crime. In Auckland, a 16-year-old boy has been charged over Monday's fatal bus station attack, the victim's family revealing he was a 24-year-old alleged 501 deportee from Australia. And in Christchurch, an 18-year-old learner driver is facing charges over Sunday's fatal Rangiora crash, with new figures revealing Canterbury has been facing a sharp rise in serious boy racer incidents. Labour's Carmel Sepuloni told Kate Hawkesby that she understands community concerns about youth crime, but there is no easy short-term fix. She says the Government has to continue to do what works to reduce crime over the long term. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
