Of course, are we at last 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,159 Speaker 1: onto something effective here?

We 11 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 2: are seeing police getting on front foot. That's a good 12 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 2: sign and there need to be consequences and we haven't 13 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 2: seen this from years, you know. Good to see crackdown 14 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: on bad behavior like over the wrong weekend the boydases 15 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 2: were hit with large operations in Wellington, christ Church, Manuatu. 16 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: So suddenly we're seeing the efforts coming through here. 17 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: Good. What about the courts and whether the justices are 18 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: on board around these new laws and sentencing and things 19 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: like that. Do you see that yet and do you 20 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: worry that they won't ever be on board? 21 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: Oh? Look, we need a lot more needs to be 22 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: done here. We would like to see powers to security guards, 23 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: shopkeepers and to be honest for any right thinking kibi, 24 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: we're talking about farmers, So any business owners the citizens 25 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: asked powers in most cases do not kick off until 26 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: nine pm. 27 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: Do you think that as much as you want that 28 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: that's realistic. How many dairy owners do you reckon if 29 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: given the power, would actually execute a citizen's arrest? Oh? 30 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: Well, a majority of them would write because they are 31 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: responsible citizens of New Zealand and they know what they're doing. 32 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: You know, they should not be attacked every day by 33 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: the corporators. And we would like to see some changes. 34 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: And also the law of self defense need to be 35 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: redefined or clarified. 36 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: I was talking to Mike Mitchell, police Minister, on the 37 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: program before un six o'clock this morning. He suggested the 38 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: police are basically what you're seeing here is what the 39 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: police always wanted to do. In other words, they were 40 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: simply held back by the previous government and now they're 41 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: doing what they want to do. Would that be your assessment? 42 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: Well, the solution is to going back to the you know, 43 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: the the bottle seventeen twenty seventeen model, and the police 44 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: need to be out there and that's the deterrent factor. 45 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: Most of the keywis would like to see happening right now. 46 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: The offenders, they have no fear of law, no fear 47 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 2: of police, no fear of being caught or any consequences whatsoever. 48 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Hopefully things are changing.
