400 characters: Chinese New Zealanders held a rally in Auckland organised by the Crime Prevention Group to express their concerns over crime. The recent robbery at a jewellery store and an attack on a Chinese boy prompted the gathering. They demanded a reduced minimum age of criminal responsibility to 16 years (from 18) and introducing criminal liability for parents of serious young offenders. National Party MPs assured they would present these demands to the ruling coalition.
