As a tit-for-tat gang war unfolds on New Zealand's streets, the National Party has called for New Zealand to implement Australian policing strategies that have had a big impact on gang violence across the ditch.
This would mean drastic changes in the law as well as limiting what patched gang members can and can’t do in public.
