Hon POTO WILLIAMS (Minister of Police): I stand by the full context of all my answers at question time. In answer to the member's second question, gangs have been a feature of New Zealand society for well over half a century. What police intelligence shows us is that the arrival of 501s in 2015 has fundamentally changed the nature of gangs, making them much more overt and sophisticated. This Government has no tolerance for gang violence and that is why we will continue to support police in their work to crack down on gangs by deploying 700 more organised crime staff and passing legislation to give them more tools to address gang violence.
