Now, the backdrop to the committee considering this bill, particularly in its latter stages of consideration, was a New Zealand with a proliferation of gang tension and violence, often involving firearms. Just in the space of two or three weeks: gun shots in Ruatōria; gun shots in Napier at a health centre; a shotgun blast in Taradale, which almost hit a young infant in a car seat; and pistol crime shots in Tauranga, with semi-automatics used, a triple homicide—or two homicides: one double and a single homicide there. Of course, a suspect also lost his life while seeking to evade police. This is the backdrop in which we were considering this bill. What does the bill do about those sorts of crimes? Absolutely nothing—it does absolutely nothing.
