Save the Children appalled by new ram raid bill

From Midday Report, 12:43 pm on 13 March 2024

The children's charity Save the Children is appalled by a new bill creating a ram raid offence which would see children as young as twelve criminally charged with up to ten years in prison, including for being a passenger, or filming the incident. 

The Justice Select Committee has been hearing submissions on the Ram Raid Offending and Related Measures Amendment Bill.

Save the Children advocacy and research director Jacqui Southey spoke to Charlotte Cook.
