NZ First says it will hire at least 500 more frontline police within 18 months and double the number of Youth Aid officers. It wants tougher, longer prison sentences for violent and sexual offenders, and for people who assault police or corrections staff. It plans to put gang members in a separate prison, label gangs as terrorist organisations, and introduce a points-based system to deal with young offenders. It also plans to ban the public sale and use of fireworks.
“The Prime Minister needs to officially designate the Mongrel Mob and all other known gangs in New Zealand as official 'terrorist entities' under the Terrorism Suppression Act 2022.”
“The legislation will stop the retail sale, manufacture, and importation of fireworks for public use. It will still allow approved public displays to continue.”
“New Zealand First will campaign on banning the public sale and use of fireworks across New Zealand.”
