The Government was recommended by the police in 2017 in the briefing to the incoming Minister that the police needed firearms prohibition orders (FPOs) to help arrest the growth of gangs and the growth of firearms violence in our communities. This Government has sat on its hands under Stuart Nash, and then under Poto Williams. This Government has sat on its hands and ignored the real issues facing our community when it comes to guns and gangs. The fact is that they have peddled their soft-on-crime philosophy through this country, and New Zealanders are the ones paying the consequences of those decisions. This bill is something which, unfortunately, has come far too late for many New Zealanders. We've seen the stories in the news. Day after day, there are shootings—whether it's at shopping centres, at bars in the late night, or wherever it is—and even innocent families are having their houses shot because the gang forgot they got the wrong address. That's the kind of violence too many New Zealanders are actually being perpetrated by far too often.
