No 464 House of Representatives Supplementary Order Paper Tuesday, 3 March 2020 Abortion Legislation Bill Proposed amendments David Seymour, in Committee, to move the following amendments: Clause 5 In clause 5, new section 2, delete the definition of safe area (page 4, lines 29 to 31).

Clause 7 In clause 7, delete new sections 15 to 17 (page 6, line 22 to page 8, line 18).
Explanatory note This Supplementary Order Paper amends clause 7 of the Abortion Legislation Bill to delete new sections 15, 16, and 17, and also amends clause 5 to delete the definition of safe area from new section 2, to remove safe areas from the legislation.

The Law Commission did not recommend safe areas in the report that led to the Abortion Legislation Bill.
While emotional harm caused by protesters is undesirable, propo- nents of safe areas are mistakenly importing a narrative from America where those accessing abortion services are grossly harassed and obstructed.

In New Zealand, pro- tests are more often pitiable than harmful.

Such harm is not a common problem and can be adequately dealt with by current legislation, including the Summary Offences Act 1981 and the Trespass Act 1980.
Safe areas are an impairment to freedom of expression and create a precedent for future restrictions.

What’s more the impairment is so arbitrary and weakly justified that it could serve as a justification for almost any future impairment.

I note that, in advice to the Attorney General on this Bill, Crown Law has agreed the right to freedom of expression is impaired, and a precedent has been set, but the impairment is justified.
I believe Crown Law has done its assessment correctly but failed to weigh the comparative values of freedom of expression and 1 SOP No 464 Proposed amendments to Abortion Legislation Bill precedent setting against the limited, if any, harm reduction that will actually occur.

The creation of safe areas is bad law-making and should be removed from this Bill.

No 385 House of Representatives Supplementary Order Paper Tuesday, 5 November 2013 New Zealand International Convention Centre Bill Proposed amendment Metiria Turei, in Committee, to move the following amendment: New clause 10A After clause 10 (after line 31 on page 6), insert: 10A Harm minimisation measures (1) In order to minimise any gambling-related harm caused by the Agreement, SKYCITY must ensure that its host responsibility programme for SKYCITY Casino–– (a) ensures all gaming machines have pre-commitment technology; and ensures all gaming machines display the odds of win- ning and how long a gambler has been playing; and introduces compulsory player tracking; and ensures a mandatory pre-commitment system is intro- duced by 30 June 2017.
(b) (c) (d) (2) (3) SKYCITY is prohibited from–– (a) publishing any direct advertising of gambling oppor- tunities to any person or people who have excluded themselves or been excluded from SKYCITY Casino; and offering any inducements to use gaming machines, in- cluding free hospitality, food, parking or anything sim- ilar.
(b) In order to ensure independent analysis of SKYCITY’s host responsibility programme, the Gambling Commission, as part of the 2-yearly review of SKYCITY’s host responsibility pro- gramme, must–– 1 SOP No 385 Proposed amendments to New Zealand International Convention Centre Bill (a) (b) undertake extensive consultation with the Salvation Army, the Ministry of Health, the Secretary for Internal Affairs, and Lifeline Aotearoa; and engage an independent evaluation of SKYCITY’s host responsibility programme.
Explanatory note This Supplementary Order Paper amends the New Zealand International Con- vention Centre Bill.

This Supplementary Order Paper places requirements on SKYCITY to introduce robust harm minimisation measures to minimise the gambling-related harm that results from this Agreement.

Department of Internal Affairs advice on this bill warned that the extra gambling concessions in the bill would “almost certainly” increase gambling-related harm.
Further advice from the Ministry of Health dismissed the harm minimisation measures included in the Agreement as both old and ineffective.

This Supplementary Order Paper introduces a series of harm minimisation measures for SKYCITY to include in its host responsibility programme and stipulates a requirement for independent analysis of SKYCITY’s host responsibility programme.

No 298 House of Representatives Supplementary Order Paper Tuesday, 6 August 2013 Gambling (Gambling Harm Reduction) Amendment Bill Proposed amendments Hon Trevor Mallard, in Committee, to move the following amendments: Clause 19 In clause 19, new section 314(1)(ga), (line 12 on page 8), replace “pre-commit- ment, player tracking, or” with “player tracking or”.

This Supplementary Order Paper also requires all class 4 gambling operators and casinos to use player tracking devices, pre-commitment cards, or other devices designed to permit responsible gambling and maximise player knowledge about, and control over, their gambling, or minimise gambling-related harm originating at the venue.

A similar provision was included in the Bill as introduced but the Commerce Committee recommended the provisions’ deletion.

No 120 House of Representatives Supplementary Order Paper Wednesday, 9 September 2015 Gambling Amendment Bill (No 3) Proposed amendments Denise Roche, in Committee, to move the following amendments: Clause 6 Delete clause 6 (page 6, lines 6 to 14).
Clause 7 Replace clause 7(1) and (2) (page 7, lines 5 to 9) with: After section 53(2)(c), insert: (ca) conditions prescribing and specifying the use of pre- commitment, player-tracking, or other harm-mini- misation devices, technology, or systems associated with the site’s gambling machines: Clause 8 Delete clause 8 (page 7, lines 29 to 35).

Clause 9 Delete clause 9 (page 8, lines 1 to 9).

Clause 9A Delete clause 9A(1) (page 8, lines 12 to 14).

Clause 13 Delete clause 13 (page 12, lines 4 to 8).
1 SOP No 120 Gambling Amendment Bill (No 3) Proposed amendments to Clause 18 In clause 18, delete new section 371(1)(dd) and (de) (page 15 line 32 to page 16 line 7).

Schedule In the Schedule, delete new Schedule 1AA, clause 3 (page 17 lines 22 to 32).

This Supplementary Order Paper proposes amendments that would: Explanatory note ensure commission-based payments are not made to any venue operators.
Commission payments would tend to incentivise operators to increase the amount of betting on their poker machines, either to increase the profits from their business or to sustain it when its other business activities became unprof- itable.

This would likely increase gambling-related harm arising from the use of the machines on their premises: ensure the term of approved licences for both venues and operators would not be greater than the current maximum of 18 months.
There is strong evidence that relatively few venues are carrying out their harm minimisation and host re- sponsibility obligations adequately.

The Department of Internal Affairs’ “secret shopper” exercise demonstrated this, with 101 of 102 venues visited failing to meet their obligations.
Until this situation changes it would risk more gam- bling-related harm to give any operators or venues extended licence periods: require the introduction of specified effective pre-commitment and other harm minimisation systems as a mandatory condition in all operators’ licences.
This would help and empower poker machine gamblers to have valuable knowledge about, and to determine and control, their amount and extent of gambling be- fore they entered the potentially seductive atmosphere of the gambling venue.

The wording reflects that in section 314(1)(ga) of the Gambling Act 2003, introduced in the Gambling (Gambling Harm Reduction) Amendment Act 2013, which is an authority potentially to introduce such regulations that has not yet been exercised.
The amendment in this Supplementary Order Paper would require such appropriate specific conditions in all future operators’ li- cences.
