RADIO NEW ZEALAND: The National Party says it will crack down on gangs making and distributing the drug methamphetamine, or 'P'.
Party leader John Key says National will crack down on gangs making and distributing it.
Mr Key says cabinet papers show efforts to reduce the amount of 'P' are not working and around one in 10 offences are committed by people using the drug.
National also wants to look into banning known 'P' dealers and manufacturers from being released on electronic bail or home detention.
Mr Key says National will give the police more power to listen to gang communications.
However, Justice Minister Annette King says there is already a bill before Parliament to give police greater powers to hunt down gangs.
