The justification is that there are some really tough twelve and thirteen year olds and that stronger responses are needed. Twelve and thirteen year olds charged with aggravated robbery or aggravated burglary can appear in Youth Court now. And the really tough youths that Hipkins talked about often already have care and protection status with Oranga Tamariki. Unfortunately meaningful discussion about laura norda gets drowned out by the need to be tough on crime.
