28623 (2025). Hon Jenny Salesa to the Minister of Customs: How, if at all, is the Minister ensuring Customs’ operations targeting organised crime do not disproportionately harm or stigmatise Māori, Pacific, or migrant communities?

Hon Casey Costello: Customs targets illicit activities at the border. It is unclear how the Member believes that could harm or stigmatise particular communities.
