Stated position: Badger opposed the Police Offences Amendment (Knives and Other Weapons) Bill 2025 as drafted, telling parliament on 1 April 2025 that broadening police wand-search powers 'will result in more people getting caught in the justice system,' arguing the measure lacks evidence of effectiveness and favouring prevention and diversion over expanded police powers.
