Proposed extension of 'clean slate' scheme on table

From The Panel, 4:09 pm on 16 December 2020

More New Zealanders with a criminal conviction may get their slate wiped clean under a proposed "fundamental transformation" of the country's justice system.

That proposal was part of a briefing to incoming Justive Minister Kris Faafoi yesterday, with a grim picture painted of the current justice sector.

The director of Just Speak, Tania Sawicki Mead, tells The Panel what she would like to see change.
