Chris Luxon's defending a Party policy announced today, to send repeat youth offenders to boot camp - and monitor kids with ankle bracelets.
National met anger from across the House today - for plans to put 15-to-17-year old serious offenders in military academies, for disciplining and rehabilitation.
They'd subject children as young as 10 to electronic monitoring or intensive supervision.

He says it's really important young offenders go to military bases across the country to keep to a schedule and learn lots of life skills.
