Supported the bill as Minister for Sport, citing youth crime impacts in his electorate of Everton including home invasions and cars being stolen, and welcoming a staffed police beat at Brookside Shopping Centre.
“I constantly received representations from local businesses in that centre that talked about gangs of youths freely walking around the place, wandering in to retail outlets taking what they liked and walking out knowing that there would be no consequences.”— 2026-04-22View Hansard
