Pollies: National's Mark Mitchell and Labour's Ginny Andersen talk jury duty, speed limits, housing

Today on Politics Wednesday Mark Mitchell and Ginny Andersen joined Mike Hosking to wrap the political week thus far. They talked the new jury duty bill, the increasing speed limits, and where the Government is at heading into 2025.  The Police Minister is welcoming a member's bill that could see more seniors serving on juries.  National's Whanganui MP, Carl Bates, has proposed raising the age when people can be automatically excused from jury duty from 65 to 72.  People could still be excused for other reasons like health issues or career experience.  Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking it would unlock lots of talent that the jury service needs.  He says there are many in that age bracket who would make outstanding jurors and have the time to dedicate to it.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
