Just when you thought it was safe to let Labour back near law and order:
Quote:
Labour is promising a radical overhaul of the way the justice system deals with sexual assault and rape cases if it wins the election.
Associate justice spokesperson for sexual and domestic violence Poto Williams said only 13 per cent of the sexual assault cases reported to police ended in a conviction and something needed to be done to address the "power imbalance".
Labour would change the system so that a victim was believed as a starting point, and that an accused would have to prove consent
