RICARDO MENÉNDEZ MARCH (Green): Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker. I rise to speak in regards to the Policing (Killing a Police Dog) Amendment Bill, and I believe it's—no pun intended—nothing short of a dog whistle. The purpose of this bill, to increase the penalty for killing a police dog from a maximum of two years to five years of imprisonment under section 53 of the Policing Act 2008, won't result in keeping people safe. It also goes against our Green Party's policy that aims towards a rehabilitative purpose.
