Coward Punch Law: Paul Goldsmith Challenged Over Weak Coward Punch Sentences
About this episode
The episode discusses the disappointing outcomes of the coward punch legislation and features an interview with Mike Angove from the Walk Without Fear Trust.
The Justice Select Committee finally reported back on the coward punch legislation, and it is a massive letdown. Despite big promises to get tough on one-punch thugs, they completely failed to recommend mandatory minimum sentences. We talk to Mike Angove from the Walk Without Fear Trust about how everyday Kiwis have been handed a complete pup by parliament. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
