I firmly believe that victims should be at the heart of the criminal justice system. That's the National Party's view—victims should be at the heart of the criminal justice system. And I'm not going to stand here in Parliament and make excuses for criminals and excuses for people who bash up front-line officers—I'm not going to stand by and make excuses for them. The New Zealand Police Association in their submission on this piece of legislation made it very clear: it is not in the job description of a police officer to be assaulted in the line of work that they do, but it's happening far too often.
