The Government says it’s letting shop owners take back control. 

It's proposing legislation to double maximum trespassing fines and allow trespassing people for three years, from multiple sites. 

Hospitality NZ’s Steve Armitage told Mike Hosking the law’s been outdated for some time. 

He says that when it was introduced back in 1980, a $1000 fine was much more material than it is 45 years later – according to the World Bank, the purchasing power of $1000 in 1980 equates to about $50,000 today.
