Its this latter aspect that any Consorting bans would sink. Yep, that is exactly the problem - lack of political will. If we are very very lucky indeed this might possibly change come next election.... one must always live in hope Some of us oldies remember an Inspector Gideon Tait who really started to sort gangs out in Auckland until the powers that be got cold feet and called him off. I am not old enough to remember him, but I read his book "Never Back Down" a while back. A excerpt is reproduced here; www.laworderreferendum.org.nz the contents of which are relevant to this thread topic In some respests he was actually ahead of his time - had he been given his head Auckland could have had something very much like the New York zero tolerance/ broken windows 20 years before New York had it under Guiliani Regards Peter	laworder (12738)
