1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: I do not buy this argument, which seems to have

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: taken hold kind of widely, that the boot camp trial

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: has to be shut down immediately because two kids escaped

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: and got arrested after allegedly stealing the carnf you haven't

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: caught up on this. Over the weekend, the couple of

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: kids who ran away after the tongue he last week

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: got rounded up. They were arrested, they allegedly hooked up

8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: with each other, found another couple of mates, went out

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: and licked a car, then ran from the cops in

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: that car. When the cops finally busted them, one of

11
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: them legged it with a machete allegedly and then tried

12
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: to carjack another vehicle, and the cops found on them

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: or in their vehicle wherever they were found a bunch

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: of knives and balaclavas, not to mention the machete as well. Now,

15
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: as a result of this, the Green Party and the

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: Labour Party, both of them hate the boot camps, are

17
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: losing their minds over this and calling on the government

18
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: to end the boot camp trial immediately. But the thing is,

19
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: I cannot understand why why do we need to end

20
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: the boot camp trial because of what's just happened. I mean,

21
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: if anything, this tells me how badly we actually need

22
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the boot camps to continue, because these are obviously very

23
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: bad kids. You don't put a balaklava in your unless

24
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: you've got some pretty sinister and dark plans, do you,

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: And this after you've already committed two crimes, not one,

26
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: but two crimes that carry a maximum sentence of ten

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: years each, which is why you're in the boot camp

28
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: in the first place. And the boot camps haven't turned

29
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: these kids into criminals. These kids will already criminals, which

30
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: is why they're in the boot camps. So ask yourself this, Okay,

31
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: if we shut down the boot camps, we've already got

32
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: ten criminals. If we shut down the boot camps, what's

33
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: gonna happen to these kids? If they're going to go

34
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: to jail, would we prefer that or would do we

35
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: want them to just roam around in the community for

36
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: you know, just roam around free, in which case, to

37
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: just carry on committing these kinds of crimes, the kinds

38
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: of crimes we just saw them do allegedly over the weekend.

39
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: I don't see these two going on the run as

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: a failure of the boot camp trial. I see it

41
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: as a reason to keep odd doing the boot camp trial,

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: because clearly, how much do these kids need intervention if

43
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: they're prepared to allegedly run around in a stolen car

44
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: with Balaclav's knives in a machete. For more from the
