Boosting Parliament security is a work in progress. Â
MPs have shared experiences of threats and intimidation, and some say the Parliament protests were a catalyst for greater concerns.Â
The Speaker's looking into the possibility of giving Parliament security guards arrest powers. Â
Security Association Chief Executive Gary Morrison told Kerre Woodham that having Police support is key.Â
He said that security guards act as a visible deterrent and can keep situations safe.Â
Morrison says there's not support across the board for letting security guards detain people, as that requires appropriate training which comes at a cost.Â
