The family of Doctor Ashley Gordon has launched a Parliamentary petition in the wake of his tragic death in January.
Sponsored by The Nationals Member for Morwell, Martin Cameron, the petition calls on the state government to take three actions:
- Afford police greater ‘stop and search’ powers, including the ability to stop and search if they have reasonable suspicion;
- Reinstate section 30B of the Bail Act, and;
- Cancel plans to raise the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14.
