PM puts pressure on to reach police staff targets

From Morning Report, 7:20 am on 16 October 2019

Numbers can be confusing - especially when talking about the Government's promise of 1800 new police officers. Yesterday morning the Police Minister Stuart Nash said the number was an aspiration. By the afternoon, the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made it an iron clad promise. And New Zealand First leader Winston Peters, who came up with the target in the first place, said he has his own way of measuring it. Charlie Dreaver reports.
