He claimed knowledge of firearms coming in via the Ports in containers, he was also an ex Mountain Safety Council firearm instructor whom ran courses for ne FAL applicants. He had input and knowledge of the process the aussie prick whom caused the ChCh event to happen.

His words were effectively the inspection of containers must be increased MASSIVELY!.

I know when I was approved to open & inspection containers when I was employed in the wire fencing industry that merely 2% of imported containers were inspected by MAF or whom ever at that time (2002). Not a lot has changed by the sound of things.

Depends on your import license, if you are part of the SES you can do 100% of the inspections yourself. MPI only get involved if you escalate something that tickles their fancy, shit we get red backs and they just ask for the dead insects to be placed in a sample jar and sent to them.
