Bridget McKenzie warns of ‘sense of lawlessness’ throughout regional Australia

Nationals Senate Leader Bridget McKenzie warns there is a “sense of lawlessness” in rural regions across Australia. Ms McKenzie told Sky News contributor Steve Price that there are issues “culturally wider” than just police officers being able to utilise the full force of the law. “A lot of police forces across different states have been wound back under Labor," she said. “And they’ve had their scope of practice … really curtailed. “It’s up to all of us to make sure that young people are raised in a way that they don’t turn to drugs and alcohol.”
