Hon PAUL GOLDSMITH (National): Thank you. Following on from a previous Government speaker, talking in this debate on firearms protection orders, who has just said that this Government has made a difference in gun crime, and that is true—they have made a difference—it's increased by 50 percent in Auckland over the past 18 months. And it is part of the wider decline in general law and order and public safety in this country over the past couple of years under this Government's watch. That's a tragedy for many New Zealanders and their families and their communities, because people no longer feel as safe in their communities when they see a rapid increase in gang membership—increased by 50 percent—when they see a near doubling of serious violent crime since this Government took office, and that increase in gun crime. So that's why there is so much interest in this and so much concern about law and order generally. So this Government has made a difference, but sadly it is not the difference that we want to see—they've made things substantially worse.
