Hon MARK MITCHELL (National—Whangaparāoa): Thank you, Madam Speaker. It's a pleasure to stand this evening and take a first reading call on this, the Firearms Prohibition Orders Legislation Bill. I want to put on record, first of all, to the Minister that I don't believe that there's been any real focus or commitment or will on her part or on the part of the Government to address what's been happening in this country in the last four years. It is a shameless stain on the performance, the support, and the introduction to this House of bills that would actually take serious and positive action against what we've seen in this country, and that is a massive growth in gang numbers. The 501s, we know that they have been a big contributor to that. We know that there is a more sinister element to what they do. They've got international networks, they're well-funded, they're violent, they're willing to carry firearms, and they're also willing to use them.
