About this listen
The Police Association has concerns around newly announced "move-on" orders - to deal with disorderly behaviour and homelessness.
The Government is moving to give Police the power, to order someone sleeping rough, or begging, to leave a public space for up to 24 hours.
They could face fines of up to two thousand dollars or spend three months in jail if they refuse.
President Steve Watt told Mike Hosking that they know there's a problem there - but Police will have a lot of other call-outs.
He says they don't have the staff to deal with this issue - as this is yet another job they'll have to do with already stretched resources.
