Dr LIZ CRAIG (Labour): Thank you, Mr Speaker. While I didn't sit on the select committee that heard this bill, the Arms (Firearms Prohibition Orders) Amendment Bill (No 2), I really appreciate the importance of stopping firearms falling into the hands of the wrong people. Because I think, if you look at the statistics, every month, police are called to 200 crimes where a firearm is involved, and every year one in five front-line officers is confronted by a firearm, and every year between 800 and 1,000 firearms are stolen, and they potentially end up on the black market and potentially in the hands of criminals. And so I think it's really important to be thinking about what we can do in this area, and certainly in Invercargill what we are seeing is, just in the media, increasing reports of gun-related incidents and injuries. And also, if you look at the stats, the Far South has one of the highest rates in the country of illegal gun seizures across New Zealand. So it is an important issue, but I think my concern is that I'm not sure that this bill will actually achieve what it's setting out to do, which is preventing the most dangerous gang members accessing firearms.
