Hon POTO WILLIAMS (Minister of Police): It would be more accurate to say that the number on the national gang list has increased. However, I would note the comments from the Police Commissioner that the list was created for intelligence purposes, not to give us an accurate statistical picture of gang membership or activity. I also note that he has expressed a lack of confidence in the accuracy of these numbers. The Government is committed to combating the harm caused by organised crime through a variety of measures, including introducing firearms prohibition orders; amending the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act to hit the gangs in their pockets, where it hurts the most; investing record amounts into our police service; committing to recruiting an additional 1,800 police officers; and ensuring that we now have the largest police workforce ever.
