RE: complaint against Police associate president Chris Cahill

On the 11 April broadcast of the TVNZ 'breakfast' show, Chris Cahill stated on air to the country that currently a firearms license is not required to be produced when purchasing ammunition. As per the arms act this statement is FALSE. Mr Cahill Mislead (he lied) to the country with this statement, and seeing as firearms legislation is currently under review after the select comittee report that was recently released, he lied to the government as well.

I note that The police association has previously mislead the country in stating to the media that twenty thousand guns are stolen from kiwi shooters each year. Which is interesting, as the NZ police do NOT keep records of this.

Why is the nz police association tolerating such a blatant lack of integrity from its president? This behaviour is unacceptable not only for licensed shooters of this country, but the public over all. During my service with the NZDF, this behaviour would likely result in a charge of bringing the service into disrepute.

Mr Cahills actions are at odds with your organizations own stated values, as per Vision / Mission / Values | Police Association which clearly states that your number one value is to act with integrity and honesty. Mr Cahills Deliberate misdirection is anything but acting with integrity and honesty.

I Have also laid a complaint with the IPCA, and will be forwarding a copy to the police minister.
