I remember the day when the media covered the tragic death of the police dog Gazza, and I received, like many members of Parliament in this House, a number of emails and phone calls where people were appalled that that would happen in New Zealand. What people ended up being absolutely more exercised about was the lenient punishment that we have in New Zealand for killing a police dog, and I want to take the time to acknowledge one constituent, Thomas Tripp, who I know will be watching this tonight. Thomas is a caring man, and it was his idea for this bill, to increase the penalty, as a tougher penalty, as a tougher way, of supporting our police dogs, and I want to acknowledge his work in getting this bill here today, because what this bill is about is caring for the service dogs that go out and protect us.
