Sunny Kaushal: Retail Crime Ministerial Advisory Group Chair defends the $500 thousand cost of the group

A belief the cost of propping up retail crime advisors is money well spent – and that's from a key member of the advisory group.   It's been revealed $500 thousand has been spent on the Retail Ministerial Advisory Group in the 102 days to June 30. Group Chair Sunny Kaushal told Heather du Plessis-Allan the group's coming in under budget, and money is required for their proposals.   He says retail crime is costing $2.8 billion, and if laws are to change, they need to produce quality reports.   Kaushal says the money's coming from the Proceeds of Crime Fund.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
