They are also involved in addressing petty crime, family fights and minor theft cases that can be sorted out and handled in a way that the person can be corrected and they stop. It is not everything that needs to go to court and be handled in that manner. view

I am aware there is a 14 Member Select Committee that we will discuss in this House that is supposed to deal with electoral reforms.
