Ram Raid Bill Petition w Aaron J Hendry from Kickback: 26 June, 2024

The coalition government is planning to continue with the passing of the Ram Raid bill which was originally introduced by the labour government. 

This bill would mean that youth offenders as young as 12 years old, would be prosecuted more harshly with some potentially serving up to ten years in prison. 

Many organisations and activists have been vocal about their position on this bill from the beginning and many have now started a petition to stop its continuation.

Rawan spoke with Aaron Hendry, co-founder of Kick back, an organisation that focuses on assisting youth in homelessness and has also been heavily involved in this petition. 

Rawan asked Aaron about what the harmful impacts of this bill are and what this new opposing campaign is about.
