This bill aims to reduce firearm offending and victimisation, and that will help reduce victimisation in our communities and, in particular, in our Māori communities. Māori have experienced a worrying growth in serious firearms offences perpetrated on their communities and whānau. The incidence of these crimes on these communities has almost doubled over the last 10 years. The serious firearms-related criminal harm that is their lived experience is now close to double that of the general population, too. Firearms prohibition orders will help us in addressing this. I know that matters raised and considered by Māori will be further explored as the bill is scrutinised by the Justice Committee, and I look forward to hearing this important feedback.
