When I first became a proud member of this House back in 2011, I was also very proud of the fact that I had had a policing career myself. But I didn't seek any law and order - type portfolios because, number one, I was very conscious, coming into this House, that you can be labelled, and I didn't want to be labelled just as being focused on law and order. The second thing was that I was very fortunate to have had a decade with a business career overseas and I'd become very passionate about trade and our economic future. So I stayed away from the law and order portfolios to a large extent, but the reason why I ask for the police portfolio now is because, certainly, at no time that I can remember, and, talking to a lot of my colleagues that are still either serving or have retired from the police, can we ever remember the situation in this country being so bad in terms of the growth of gang numbers, the proliferation of weapons and gang members willing to carry weapons, and the worst thing is they're willing to use them.
