55042 (2025). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Associate Minister of Justice: Why are sworn police officers to be excluded from the new firearms regulator?

Hon Nicole McKee: The firearms regulator will be focused solely on providing regulatory services to the firearms system to improve compliance and efficiency. Excluding Police ensures that Police resources are focused on criminal enforcement of illegitimate firearm use.
