The Associate Police Minister's pushing back on claims her new organised crime plan is purely a holiday headline. 

The newly released Transnational, Serious and Organised Crime Strategy aims to make New Zealand the hardest place for criminals to do business.

Initiatives include options for setting up a new dedicated department, and developing cross-agency data sharing. 

Casey Costello says it's not a rehash of Labour's 2007 plan, which was within Police and petered out without results. 

She says this is a long term sustainable model.
