Buy-back and amnesty for prohibited firearms and parts

Waikato Police

After changes to firearm laws, the government introduced a six month amnesty period. This means that anyone with firearms and parts that are no longer legal have until 20 December 2019 to hand them in to Police.

Police are providing a number of ways for people to hand-in their firearms or parts, including Police-run collection events - bit.ly...

If you can’t make a collection event, check whether there is a dealer near you - bit.ly...

If you think you have a unique prohibited item and are eligible to apply for compensation, find out how you can do that here - bit.ly...

Some firearms can also be modified and there is also a list of approved gunsmiths eligible to do the work - bit.ly...

FAQ’s here - bit.ly... or call 0800 311 311.

Where do you think more social housing is needed?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Raymond Bishope applied for a dozen homes and failed before he got accepted into Salvation Army’s social housing.

And in the months since he and his 15-year-old have been living in the Salvation Army’s new $25-million, 31 home complex, his son’s life has changed for the better and it’s presented an opportunity for Bishope to give something back to the community.
