Some years ago i was in australia on a job .Working with sth australian police &customs guys it wasnt difficult to get talking on firearms gangs etc etc .
What opened my eyes was a tale about a raid (by their STG)on a bikie enclave out in the desert area after some strife in Adelaide. Found -a fully equipped machinery shop staffed by 3 ex RAAF armourers .FMR-sitting there 4 fully functional M60 machineguns and one getting its final spruce up prior to testing. mayhem -a bloody understatement.
These guys also said due to Aussies vast often deserted coastline detection and intereception of illegal arms imports (eastern europe /soviet bloc weapons) their task was often nigh on impossible.
Given the current volatility in NZ IMHO its not entirely beyond the realms of possibility something similar could be in the pipeline or indeed active.
