Barry Soper: ZB senior political correspondent on the Government's gang patch bill passing

Update: 2024-09-19

Description

The Government's new bill banning gang patches in public and giving police more power to disperse gangs and bring in non-consorting court orders has passed.

Last-minute changes extended the insignia ban to being visible in cars - and inside homes of repeat ban offenders.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says critics of the bill have labelled it a violation of free speech.
