Brewer CameronCAMERON BREWER (National—Upper Harbour): Contrary to what you've just heard—that this is undermining police's work—police are very happy with the direction of this. Police are very happy with the direction of this Government. In fact when we were on the Justice Committee just this morning talking to the Secretary for Justice who also chairs the Executive Board for the Elimination of Family Violence and Sexual Violence I posed the question: will the public service target of 20000 fewer people being victims of an assault of robbery or sexual assault by 2029—will that help sharpen his board's focus and priorities and will it strengthen the work of the multi-agency and interdepartmental across Government - approach? And the Secretary for Justice—go back to the Hansard go back to the video—said Yes and yes." And he said it with a gleeful look on his face: "Yes and yes." He was so excited about the fourth—and Tom Rutherford knows these public service targets better than anyone—public service target which was about reducing the number of victims of an assault robbery or sexual assault by 2029 by 20000.So this Firearms Prohibition Orders Legislation Amendment Bill is part of a suite of tools that we're putting in the toolbox. The member over the other side said "Oh they always keen talking about tools and toolboxes." Well guess what? Because we're putting more tools in the toolbox to sort out crime in this country. More tools in the toolboxes. And if he wants to know "Well we were on top of crime in the Labour Party." Can I give him this statistic from the New Zealand Crime and Victims Survey and why we are going with this firearms prohibition order (FPO) approach. The New Zealand Crime and Victims Survey showed the number of people in New Zealand who were victims of an assault robbery or sexual assault—Shanan Halbert: What do your North Shore stats say?CAMERON BREWER: —Shanan Halbert from 2022 to 2023 jumped by over 20000 people to over 185000 New Zealanders that are victims. And this piece of legislation—Shanan Halbert—goes straight to reducing that. And the justice department the justice secretary is right on our side. Wind back the tapes—they're excited; the public service targets. You guys should have thought of public service targets because the justice ministry is very excited the police are very excited the Executive Board for the Elimination of Family Violence and Sexual Violence are very excited and they're also very pleased with the FPO approach that we are taking.All the amendments to this legislation that went through the select committee—we've heard a differing view haven't we? We've heard a differing view but guess what? All the amendments were passed unanimously—unanimously. How's that? So there you go. Were they there were they asleep or did they just agree with all the amendments? Well I would err on the side of the third proposition that they agreed to all the amendments because they are recorded unanimously.Let's go back to the bill and its purpose—all about reducing firearms crime and the effects on its communities. It seeks to do so by enabling FPOs to be made and monitored against the wider group of people whose behaviour and actions indicate and pose a high risk of violence. The focus is on specifying new qualifying offences for members and associates of a gang and organised crime. We've heard again haven't we that we seem to be—why are we always focused on gangs? Well they increased by 3000 in five years—over 51 percent under that administration. Man did we have a mandate at the last election to get on top of gangs. Public meetings on gangs filled up every town hall around New Zealand. New Zealand has had an absolute gutsful and this Firearms Prohibition Orders Legislation Amendment Bill goes to the heart of that. Specify new qualifying offences for members and associates of a gang or an organised criminal group; establish a review process to enable a person who is subject to an FPO to apply to the court to have their FPO varied modified or revoked; and the other third part of it: give the police additional warrantless search powers to monitor the person subject of an FPO.So this is a great piece of legislation. This is a suite that's key to the Government's agenda. This is something we have a big mandate on. This is why we won the election. I commend the bill to the House.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): Mālō e lelei."
