The New South Wales government feels no guilt for attempting to poach Kiwi police.
The state is 1500 officers short, and it today announced it'll fast-track New Zealand officers as recruits.
Training requirements will be shortened and Kiwis can keep their current rank - up to senior constable.
Police Minister Yasmin Catley says it's just another measure to bolster numbers.
"Queensland's been doing it, Victoria's been doing it - this has been going on for quite some time."
