Speaking to Jessica Mutch on TV One’s Q+A programme, Mrs Collins said that in cases such as one publicised today, where a young mother of three has a sex offender living behind her house in Mangere, Corrections tried to get a Public Protection Order for him, but the High Court felt he did not meet the criteria.
A few months ago there was violent offender that was placed opposite Te Kura Maori o Nga Tapuwae he was then relocated on the same street as Jean Batten School in Mangere East. .
