“National’s campaign was about tackling crime and the best they can do is a two-year long Ministerial Advisory Group,” Labour justice spokesperson Duncan Webb said.

“Just saying you’ll be tough on crime doesn’t stop crime. We need evidence-based solutions that work, so it’s time to stop playing politics and start working together to build a safer community.”
