Can I start with a quote from the Hon Poto Williams that "Owning a firearm in New Zealand is a privilege not a right." I have no doubt this bill help to accelerate efforts under way to combat firearms and the crimes that are related to them. This bill aligns with the Government's priority to keep New Zealanders safe and it delivers a key part of the Government's commitment to reduce firearms violence to date. The Government has taken 60,000 military-style weapons off the streets, established the ministerial arms advisory group to assist in these reforms, and by June 2023 we will have a comprehensive register in place that will help fill a 30-year deficit of information when it comes to firearms in our community, and the list goes on.
