RINO TIRIKATENE (Labour—Te Tai Tonga): I'm delighted to speak on the third reading of this Arms Legislation Bill. I want to just acknowledge not only our outstanding Minister in Stuart Nash for his leadership in shepherding this bill through the House but I want to acknowledge the late Justice Sir Thomas Thorp. Justice Thorp told us what was wrong with our gun laws way back in 1997, with his landmark gun control report. Nothing had happened since that time, and we only need to look back to the tragic events of last year to see the deficiencies that are in place with an outdated Arms Act that goes way back to 1983.
