Mark Mitchell has heralded the government’s promise to be tough on crime.

He’s been incredibly clear from the get-go that his primary goal is to make New Zealand an uncomfortable place for gangs to operate.

He holds five portfolios: Police, Corrections, Emergency Management and Recovery, Ethnic Communities, and Sports and Recreation.

So, how does an MP with so many hats feel about how his government has tackled the big issues?

Today on The Front Page, Mitchell joins us to talk cops, corrections, and communities.
