Seymour David; Faafoi KrisDAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Thank you Mr Chair. Just a few questions for the Minister. I note that these are questions from our justice spokesperson Nicole McKee who would like to be here. But I'd like to ask: will any of the $13 million budget allocated in the vote for reducing family violence and sexual violence be intended to be used on projects or programmes initiated by any known gangs gang members or gang affiliates? Another question is about the Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA). They received $5.7 million last year and are only budgeted to get an extra $47000 or $5.745 million to help people who might have complaints about the conduct of the police. There's widespread reports that their workload has increased and I wonder if the Minister is satisfied that the IPCA will actually have enough money for people concerned about police conduct if they need to do investigations. Finally the New Zealand Council of Victim Support Groups also known as Victim Support—they're receiving a moderate amount of $9.5 million to assist with victims of crime. ACT believes that justice policy should fundamentally be centred around victims rather than offenders and I just wonder if the Minister really fought for Victim Support and the amount of money that they received. They seem to do a very good job but I just wonder if the Minister is satisfied that Victim Support and indirectly the victims have adequate funding there. Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Justice): I have met with Victim Support. We spoke at an event that they held recently and I think that they would quite happily tell me that they could use more funding. One of the focuses that I would like to have going into this Budget is supporting victims more but I can't make any commitments. I understand the pressure that the likes of Victim Support are under and I believe that their budget may have been pretty steady for some time. In terms of the Independent Police Conduct Authority I think some of the work that they've done internally to triage some of the complaints within their own system is finding that they are having the ability to do the work that they think they should be focused on. So I think they've certainly done a lot of work internally to make sure that the case numbers or complaint numbers that are coming in can be dealt with in a way that they feel is fit and having a better system of triaging is helping them out there. To the first question I'm sorry but I don't have that detail about the $13 million. But seeing the member has asked I will find that out for him. DAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): So can the Minister confirm or is the Minister saying he can't confirm that that $13 million for reducing family and sexual violence will not be spent on programmes initiated by any known gangs gang members or gang affiliates? Is he saying he doesn't know if it will go to gangs or not? Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Justice): No I'm not saying that. I'm saying I don't have the information available for him at this moment around the $13 million that he has mentioned. I've said I'll go away and find out—to the question that he asked—if any of that funding has been allocated to those groups that he has mentioned.
