Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: The Police Association welcome the announcement, saying—and I quote—"the Government is obviously listening to Police and has picked up on several key concerns around gang intimidation and illegal gang accumulation of wealth." Crime and justice expert  Jarrod Gilbert also commented on the measures, citing that the creation of a new firearms offence would likely fill a gap in existing legislation by strengthening penalties available, and it appears eminently sensible. It is worth noting, however, that the support for the package has not been unanimous, and we've had less favourable feedback on the measures from associates of organisations such as the Mongrel Mob, Black Power, and the National Party.
