The head of the Council of Trade Unions is urging Police Minister Anne Tolley to consider asking Police Commissioner Peter Marshall to step down from his role early.
Last week police confirmed four complaints had been made against a group of teenaged boys, who boasted online about sex with drunken girls, some of them underage.
CTU president Helen Kelly said Mr Marshall has revealed attitudes that would be likely to deter victims of the group from coming forward.
In response the minister has reiterated that she has confidence in the Commissioner and the police. Mrs Tolley also points out an Independent Police Conduct Authority investigation into the case is already underway.
Meanwhile, the police have confirmed they have spoken to members of the Roastbusters group about their safety.
And the New Zealand Herald reports that more than 63,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the Prime Minister to take action over the Roast Busters.
