Hon JENNY SALESA (Minister of Customs): I'm proud to report that, thanks to the tireless efforts of the New Zealand Customs Service and our coalition Government's decision to invest in a stronger, smarter border, this has led to a record three tonnes of illegal drugs stopped at the border in 2019, before they could hit our streets. Early numbers show that Customs made over 2,600 separate drug seizures of class A, B, and C drugs. This includes 1,180 kilograms of methamphetamine, 329 kilograms of meth precursors, and 739 kilograms of methylene dioxy-methyl amphetamine (MDMA) or ecstasy. This Government made the right call to invest to protect our border and the result is much fewer illegal drugs coming through.
