Doocey Matt; Rurawhe AdrianMATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Thank you Madam Speaker. It's a pleasure to rise on behalf of the National Party in support of the Smoke-free Environments (Prohibiting Smoking in Motor Vehicles Carrying Children) Amendment Bill. I'd just like to start by pausing and reflecting on the poor old smoker! It's not much fun for them these days. I consider myself a former smoker—that means I haven't had one today. The poor smokers get a bit of a kicking these days and you can probably understand that yes in this situation that we're debating tonight it makes a lot of sense—vulnerable children in cars. Really we shouldn't have adults smoking in cars. So I think this is a logical next step. When you think about it we used to smoke in buses planes and pubs. Now there are towns in my part of the world in North Canterbury like Hanmer which are going smoke-free as a town. So it's all a logical next step.But I would like to point out—and I was sort of trying to gear myself up to speak tonight—that it's all a bit underwhelming really isn't it? The whole bill is just a bit—well underwhelming. I mean this Government came in to be one of the most transformational Governments we have seen. We're 18 months in we're six months into the year of delivery" and what are we debating tonight? A bit of a nice to have a bit of a stocking filler really—that's what I'd call it; a bit of a filler. If it was really transformational they would have embraced the technology that has developed even since the last Government and now that they're in charge they should've taken on the technologies of vaping and really made a difference. Why are we tinkering around the edges saying "Oh we'll pass a piece of legislation. It'll take 18 months to come in and even the regulatory impact statement says in fact legislation is probably not going to make a difference. But hey we'll do an education plan in parallel and we're not actually expecting those who are going to be the ones we are targeting to actually take any notice anyway."?And I come back to that point: transformational Government—or so they espouse—18 months in six months into the year of delivery and we have this stocking-filler bill that is tinkering around the edges when what they could have done is embrace the latest technology—vaping. What does this bill say about vaping? Silent. Because if we're really honestly aiming for 2025 we've got to do a lot better than this surely? A lot better than this. Why are we not bringing a bill into the House that focuses on 2025 resources all the latest technology on vaping getting people off cigarettes and into vaping? I mean are we going to say that you can vape in cars because the bill doesn't say anything? Are we going to say that once the referendum comes in you can smoke cannabis in cars? I mean it really is short-sighted and for a Government that came in and said that they were going to be transformational I think people tonight listening and watching will be—well like me—quite underwhelmed.I'm on the Health Committee and I'd like to say—I'll take a bit of a sweepstake tonight—I think we'll get about three submissions. Two of them will be because people made a wrong submission to the wrong select committee and we'll probably get about one. And we'll change nothing to the bill and then we'll bring it in—Michael Wood: Put something up! Will the member put his money where his mouth is?MATT DOOCEY: Well how about you? You told us you were going to be a transformational Government. You're the Government. Why don't you put a bill in that will be transformational that'll really make New Zealand go smoke-free by 2025? All we're doing is tinkering around the edges—underwhelming. I'm betting—and I'm not going to bet a pack of cigarettes but I'm betting—that we'll get three submissions. Nothing in this bill will change. We'll come back out of select committee for the second reading and we'll say all the same words—"Children are our future. We need to protect them."—and then we'll get to the second and third readings we'll pass the bill and 18 months down the track we'll say "Hey legislation didn't make much difference but we ran a good educational campaign."ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): Order! The member's time has expired. Can I remind members again that if you use the pronoun "you" you are bringing the Speaker into the debate. So we have 1 hour 15 minutes to go. Let's not have to do that again."
