"It is important, we believe, that the police commissioner has the same powers that they do in New South Wales to actually issue these [orders] and we'd also have warrantless searches when they're in place."
On the other hand, Māori Party co-leader Rawiri Waititi said he had grave concerns the order would disproportionately affect Māori.
"We need to look at positive programmes and look at stopping that from happening, but also look at alternative plans for our whānau and stop the fishing expeditions that the police do with Māori."
However, Collins said it was "easy to throw around" claims of systemic racism within police.
"I trust the New Zealand police and I certainly trust them significantly more than I trust gang members, and I think that's the point.
"When we talk about gangs, people tend to forget that some of the more prolific gangs when it comes to methamphetamine, like say the Hells Angels or the Head Hunters, are predominantly Pākehā, so we're suddenly going to say that's okay?
"I mean they [the Māori Party] are very clear they don't trust police and well I do trust the police. I've been the minister of police for four years and I don't see the systemic racism."
In March, police announced they were launching a long-term research project to investigate whether they have unconscious bias against Māori. But they also would not say it is an inquiry into racism.
Asked if she believed that inquiry was necessary, Collins said it was not, adding that public trust and confidence in police was at "astronomical levels" when she was minister.
"I think that for people to say there is systemic racism, completely denigrates the hard-working men and women of New Zealand police and I'm going to stand up for them and law and order any day over patched gang members, who commit awful offences in this country, many of them against women and children."
