Police Better Be Better
The police better make sure they can be at Paul McIntyre's house in the few minutes it might take an attacker to break
in, ACT Justice Spokesman Stephen Franks said today.
"If it takes the three hours it took last time, it could be a waste of time.
"Mr McIntyre was ordered to surrender his firearms as a bail term. He is without the means to protect himself and his
farm. Local farmers have said they will step in because it is immoral to leave Mr McIntyre in this situation after he
has been threatened. The court has told the world and Northland criminals that Mr McIntyre is defenceless. Can the
police guarantee they will respond quickly enough to emergency calls from him or any other farmers?
"If the police sought this bail condition they should pay for security guards, instead of forcing locals to step into
the gap," Stephen Franks said.
