Lowering the Voting Age and Youth Crime w/ ACT’s Brooke van Velden: November 23, 2022

This week the Supreme Court determined that the voting age of 18 is inconsistent with the right in s19 of the Bill of Rights to be free from discrimination on the basis of age.

News & Editorial Director Jessica Hopkins spoke to Brooke about the ACT party's stance on lowering the voting age, which for general elections, needs a 75% supermajority to become law. 

They also discussed National's pledge to send serious youth offenders to military 'boot camps' if their party wins the next election.
