Description
The Corrections Minister says the Government has helped reduce the number of people breaching electronically monitored bail.
There were 832 cases of absconding from EM bail last year - up from 64 in 2015.
The total number of people on EM bail has risen from 1300 to over six thousand since 2015.
But Mark Mitchell told Ryan Bridge the percentage rate of absconding is actually coming down.
He says it was at 19% in 2019, which dropped to 14% last year.
