Addressing the concerning rise in youth crime, Blanch said:

“Was this an isolated incident, was it a tasked incident to that 13-year-old? We’ve seen a lot of conversation come out of both the Australian Federal Police and the east coast policing agencies about what they call crime as a service, and that is organised crime utilising very young people to commit serious crimes”, Blanch said.
