Technology is at the forefront of priorities for the new Retail Crime Advisory Group.  

The group will offer the Government ideas on law and order legislation.  

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith has appointed four sector leaders alongside dairy and business owner group leader, Sunny Kaushal.  

They include Retail NZ CEO Carolyn Young. 

She says enabling facial recognition technology is of particular interest to the sector.  

She hopes it can be implemented with robust privacy safeguards.
