David Seymour: ACT announces policy targeting rural crime

ACT has announced a new policy to tackle rural crime by introducing a Police text service, delivering harsher punishments, and creating a specified rural police force. ACT leader David Seymour told Matt and Tyler that rural crime needs to be understood as a form of organised crime.  "A lot of urban people probably think it's a bit of a joke that your cows could get stolen, but if your cows are your livelihood and cattle rustling does happen, it's not the wild west but it does happen, then that's a real problem," Seymour said. "And we're saying that there should be a specialised police unit." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
