Pollies: Mark Mitchell and Ginny Andersen talk protest laws. benefit policy
from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB
The Police Minister says officers don't have the laws they need to move protesters from MPs' homes. The Government introduced the legislation to ban protests outside homes in August, and it's now before a select committee. A 29-year-old man's turned himself in and been charged, accused of smashing a window at Foreign Minister Winston Peters' house earlier this week. Minister Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking every single Kiwi would agree the one place they should feel safe is in their own home. Labour’s Ginny Andersen agreed, but says the law as proposed is really unclear in terms of detail. She says people have the right to protest but if they’re breaking the law, then they should get prosecuted, just as the person who was charged with smashing the window was.
