Andersen GinnyGINNY ANDERSEN (Labour—Hutt South): Thank you very much Madam Speaker. The hits just keep on coming tonight. This is another strong bill from the Labour Party to try and do some more in this space and it's really interesting to see the responses we've seen from those opposite tonight.So what does this bill the Criminal Activity Intervention Legislation Bill do? In addition to the legislation already introduced relating to proceeds of crime this bill does five main things: it addresses gang conflict it addresses the issue of convoys it looks specifically at the firing of weapons it seizes cash and it also targets watches jewellery and high-value goods. It goes straight for the guts in terms of crippling organised criminal networks in New Zealand and it works in unison with the legislation that we've already introduced tonight.So the first one: new targeted warrant and additional search powers to find and seize weapons from gang members during gang conflict. This requires a warrant and is on reasonable grounds" as well—so a new additional tool to enable police to have more ways of targeting organised criminal activity explicitly in the space of gang conflict.Number two: convoys. This expands the range of offences where police can seize and impound cars motorbikes and other vehicles. In this space it's important to note that there have been instances where we've had those areas with convoys and this particularly identifies and provides police with new powers where there are large groups of gang members who travel together on the road and often involve high-risk and illegal behaviour such as dangerous and even reckless driving.Number three: up to five years in prison for a new offence of discharging a gun with intent to intimidate. So this is providing a new way of charging in addition to what already exists under Arms Act offences when there is an intention to intimidate.The fourth one is that police and other enforcement agencies are able to seize cash over $10000 when found in suspicious circumstances—so specifically giving police additional powers for seizing cash when found in particular given circumstances.And the fifth one targets watches jewellery precious metals stones motor vehicles boats—are all added to that list of high-value goods and those prohibited for sale in cash over a specified value.This is part of a suite of measures that this Government has introduced to give police the tools that will enable them to respond to the current issues in and around gang conflict and the wider harm caused by gang and related criminal activity. You know when you hear Mark Mitchell finding his latent discovery of love of the Treaty of Waitangi that the National Party is on thin ice on this ground because we have come in strong. We have put in some really strong measures that will equip our front line to not only address those emerging issues that we see around New Zealand but on the other side part of the other side to the response that this Government has delivered is also strengthening Te Pae Oranga also in terms of providing better wraparound support for our young people who are coming from a background of either family harm or multiple complex issues to try and provide that wraparound support and give those young people all the help that they need to make the right choices in life. This is done alongside the legislative tools that will be supported in the wider package right across Government that tackles the causes of gang participation and reduces offending in the long term.I am really proud to be part of a Government that delivers a comprehensive response to a complex problem and I commend this bill to the House."
