Mt Roskill By-Election candidate Roshan Nauhria has today released his law and order policy. Surrounded by supporters at the entrance to Mt Eden prison he delivered a message to attending media.

“I have a message to those who have terrorised us; its’ over, it has ended. Too many people are hurting, it’s time to clean up Mt Roskill.”

He outlined a policy that would see an increase of front line police and tougher sentencing a top priority if he was to become the MP of Mt Roskill.

“If you are a victim of a crime, come talk to me. I will tell everyone in Parliament of the crime, I wont stop and I won’t be silent.”

Mr Nauhria also outlined that stronger support for rehabilitation with a view for job placement upon release would be on his agenda sighting the SSI poll he commissioned. The survey had the opinion showed that 54% of the 762 Aucklanders surveyed agreed that more jobs and lower unemployment would help battle crime.
