Hon POTO WILLIAMS (Minister of Police): I've seen a report that Police will continue the success that they have had disrupting organised crime by commencing Operation Cobalt. This operation will be a major nationwide effort by Police, and will build on the significant inroads made by Operation Tauwhiro, which to date has resulted in taking 1,531 firearms off the street, arresting 1,255 people, and seizing 53 kilograms of meth. This Government will continue to support our police in their efforts to disrupt gangs and organised crime.
