So they're gonna jail 14 year olds for sleeping rough? ffs politicians have never had a real problem in their lives
lol 'tough on crime' just means tough on the poor
move on orders are just a way to hide the problem. typical government bandaid solution, don't bother fixing the root cause just push the poor out of sight
typical nz gov, always goes after the easiest targets
what a load of shit
wait so a kid begging for food gets threatened with jail? and this is supposed to be a first world country????

exactly! how is this even being debated
classic 'tough on crime' nonsense that just punishes poverty. my mate got done for begging last year - he was just trying to eat
same thing happened to a mate's kid, they just need help not handcuffs
honestly anything that keeps disruptive people away from the train station sounds good to me, sick of being hassled every day
mate you're part of the problem if you think moving them on solves anything
jailing kids cos they're poor is morally indefensible but hey what do i know
yeah nah get stuffed, this is just an excuse to criminalise homelessness
police shouldn't be social workers. if they want to help homeless kids fund some shelters not handcuffs
yeah fair point, just sick of it tbh, but jail is too far
