On 23 September 2021, Simeon Brown introduced the Public Finance—get a load of this one—(Prohibition on Providing Public Funds to Gangs) Amendment Bill. The sum of $2.7 million went to Harry Tam and his stooges up in the Hawke's Bay to run some sort of weird meth programme that never had any results. I met with the police up there a month ago. They were disgusted by what happened. Terrible use of taxpayers' funds. These guys are still defending it. Guess what they did with that bill! They voted it down. Soft on crime.
