E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā hau e whā. 

Ka nui te hari ahau kua tae mai nei, I waenganui a koutou me tēnei hui. No reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.

Good morning everyone and thank you for the invitation to open your annual conference, my second as Minister of Police.

The next few days will no doubt provoke discussion and comment – and that’s very healthy.

Can I first acknowledge your President Greg O’Connor, your Executive and all the delegates here this morning.

Good morning everyone and thank you for the invitation to open your annual conference.

Can I acknowledge your President Greg O'Connor and your executive. We have a constructive relationship and I appreciate that. Can I also acknowledge Police Association delegates – and give a warm welcome to the international delegates from South Africa, Tonga and Australia.
