Rate cut relief + Ankle monitors dropped for criminals
Episode description
An investigation into the ankle monitoring of accused criminals on bail has exposed a shocking flaw in the system. A private company who was supposed to monitor the alleged offenders in our community stopped operations without notifying authorities.
Now, at least two state governments are abolishing ankle monitoring altogether, with a flawed system with concerning loopholes set to take over.
In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by News Corp journalist Josh Hanrahan who broke the story to explain how this could happen and what comes next with bail monitoring and the implications for community safety.
