New Zealand's heading down a precarious road of corruption, with organised crime networks targeting our institutions and borders.
An independent advisory panel on Transnational Crime says we need to take urgent action.
It says police officers, immigration officials, and private sector employees are facilitating corruption.
Group chair Steve Symon told Mike Hosking they talked to senior officials in enforcement agencies, former gang members, and frontline staff.
He says the problem with organised crime is it's everywhere you look, and it's seeping into all areas of business which deal with potential for drugs coming into the country.
