We need to support our pilots, our air traffic controllers, our emergency staff, and our law enforcement agencies to do what they need to do, to continue to transport, to save, and to protect New Zealanders. We need to do all we can to ensure they are operating in a safe work environment. Those offenders who continue to put lives at risk through pointing high-powered lasers at aircrafts have to be dealt with, and understand those circumstances. My high-power lasers offenders bill will do this by not only deterring those offenders but also by raising awareness about an issue which poses a great risk to pilots and passengers.
