Paul Goldsmith: Justice Minister defends early end to retail crime advisory group

The Justice Minister says his retail crime advisory group has been successful and productive. It'll been cut short, ending in May - not the planned September - after three members resigned last month. It leaves just two members, chair and dairy owner Sunny Kaushal and liquor retailer, Ash Parmar.  Paul Goldsmith says he could have appointed more people for the next six months or wrapped it up early.  "The simpler thing to do was say - look, you've got a couple of things you need to finish, you've got three months to do that and then we'll go off on our merry way. The Government's got lots of ideas to work with."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
