From The Panel, 4:08 pm on 2 July 2019

Among the many changes in law that took place yesterday July 1st was changes to the Youth Justice system. As of yesterday the youth court will now consider offending by 17-year-olds.

The Youth Court previously dealt with offending by people age 14-16. We ask the panellists what they make of the change.
