Christopher Luxon: Prime Minister affirms the two year timeline for adding 500 more cops to the beat
The Prime Minister seems to be differing from his Police Minister on the timeline of when the Government will add 500 cops to the beat.
In Parliament yesterday, Mark Mitchell pushed out the original timeline from two to three years, citing difficulties with recruitment.
But Christopher Luxon says the two year commitment is still in place, despite the difficulties.
He told Mike Hosking that any Labour Party claims around a backdown from their promise is wrong.
Luxon says Mitchell didn't express himself well and the commitment still stands.
