Anybody hear Poto Williams on National Radio re firearms registration and other plans for gun ownership?
I heard an unclear news report at 4pm with the above, wondering if anybody can expand on that broadcast?

Sure it was national radio? What you're saying doesn't seem to align with the schedule.
That and Poto is out of her element.

Can't find it searching their website
Mrs Finnwolf says it’s National Radio she has the transistor on.
And I won’t argue that with her!
It was a news broadcast that Poto was on.
Anybody else hear it?

I suspect anything firearms related against LFOs would have been a light touch given the other headlines Potato is featuring in at the moment ( ie increased police funding for growth and being tough on crime).

Or they going throw that much $ round at the budget to buy the votes back & alot will fall for it I won't lol
I hope you’re right, however never underestimate the stupidity of voters.
And it depends what election bribes are chucked about.
I heard her on NZtalk with Heather, she was claiming 'going soft on crime' is sexist (or misogynistic), Heather couldn't get her to answer how exactly that's sexist other than implying any criticism of her was sexist because she's a woman. She also stated Andrew Coster did a great job on the wellington protests which got lots of LOLs until they realized she was serious.
...and then she jumped in her space ship and flew back up to uranus.
Remember when we thought old 'roid rage' Stewie was the worst Police Minister ever?
Poto:
'Hold my beer'!
I'm still not sure. I think it will depend on how Nationals' only support party (Act) go (declining at present) and/or the Nats continuing to increase.
Over the other side Maori and Greens are a strong buffer for Labour.
It will be a close run thing.
And I think we can forget any repeals fire arm legislation wise what ever happens in the election.
Yes, unfortunately ACT's surge in support was at the cost of National at that time, and now those same voters are drifting back to the Nat's at ACT's expense. I do hope the Nat's take it out and Luxton does indeed do as he's promised and reverse the poor legislation introduced last year to do with mortgage interest for Investment property, but im not holding my breath.

Gets funny about a 1/3rd of the way in. She also admits the system failed with tarrant. I think this may be the audio the OP was looking for.
Or maybe this one: https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/...n-this-budget/
What a train wreck! As much as I dislike hoskings he was correct, and poto was babbling to try and make his points go away. She even busted out "it's nationals fault".
I really think labour doesn't know how the won the election, how they are in government, or what they are doing.
You are right that most ACT supporters came from the Nats and are slowly drifting back.
In saying that there are a lot of people who voted labour who are not at all happy with the current path they are taking and drifting towards eithe ACT or Nats.
I can see a position where an ACT/Nat government gets in next election with a decent amount of support still goign to ACT, certainly not just 1-2%.
Thats what I hear talking to real people, I've stopped following Politics via the media as it's not worth wasting time on.
Good on mike for sticking it to her, if only she could give a straight answer though
If anyone wants a giggle and works in IT, go check out the cops email certs on their email gateways.

Seven firearm incidents in Auckland last night :wtfsmilie:
The Herald said Luxon had this to say…
If he were making the calls to toughen up on a crime, he told the AM Show this morning that he would start by reallocating the $210 million for a firearm registrar into a firearms prohibition that would give police search warrant powers to go after illegal guns.
It sounds like he realises it’s the illegal firearms that are the problem, not the legal ones.
Meanwhile, all the usual websites are reporting about 7 shootings that took place yesterday in Auckland. Anyone else feeling loved yet?
From her profile page on the labour website:
“My aspiration is for communities where everyone has a place, everyone has a voice and we are all loved.”
Yeah I read that too but it didn't make sense to me, surely the police already have those powers, if they have evidence they can get search warrants now right? Could just be poor journalism though and maybe something else was said
He'd be better off using the $210 million to set up an standalone firearms licensing authority and free up Police for policing
not just a policing issue though is it.
ground level cops bust a meth lab/dealer ( at serious personal risk to themselves) seize a kilo or 20 of crystal death and a dozen illegal firearms
judge lets the sentences for drugs and guns get served concurrently or forgets about illegal guns altogether
the dealers must be shaking in their boots ...oooh i might even get some home detention for my illegal gun, i can sit at home and play on my PS5 i bought by selling meth to 12 year olds
