Logie JanJAN LOGIE (Green): It gives me hope to stand up tonight after having listened to all the speeches in the House. I could think of it as personally gratifying that this bill with the community we have brought to the House has this support. But mostly what I am feeling is the message that you are sending to survivors in the country—that we are together committed to making their lives better. We have heard their experiences and we are committed to making their lives better in every way that we can. I think that for me at least is a moment to mark in time. I have heard really clear support for wanting to eradicate domestic violence and for us to use what tools we can as a country to do that and to support the victims and survivors in the meantime. I have also heard a very clear articulation from all members in the House that yes this is not just the business of Parliament or Government but all of us have a role to play in that and that part of being a good employer is caring for your staff and this is one way to do that and it will pay off for businesses. I have heard mention that there needs to be some work around the drafting of the bill and I am really happy to acknowledge that. Part of the reality of it was that I actually had different legal opinions on the current status of the law in relation to flexible working hours but particularly in relation to the Health and Safety in Employment Act and the extent to which it covered domestic violence. So what we have drafted is something—it is quite hard to get something right when you are not actually sure of the status of the existing law. So I really do see it as an offering for us to be able to work together to come up with the best solution. When we are all on the same page about the outcome then that gives me hope that this process is going to get the result that we need and—I will say it again—it is a result that could save lives so it is absolutely worth hanging on to. I did appreciate the comments that maybe we could loosen up a little bit. That is not something that people usually suggest to me but the flexible working arrangements and the need for the domestic violence documents in the bill were based on some legislation from overseas—from the UK. But yes we do not want to make it more difficult. We want to clarify that the flexible working arrangements should be used and should be available and that needs to be visible I believe to be able to have that intent realised but we do not want to make it more difficult. Somebody did mention the point about the fact that perhaps this would be too onerous for small businesses and I thank the member Iain Lees-Galloway for asking businesses to come with solutions if that is of concern to them. But I am going to push quite hard on this because the international research—in Australia 1.6 million workers are already covered by these provisions and although the provisions are there most of them do not take them. It is very rare. They will take some—they take what they need—because it is not a mandatory 10 days. It is up to 10 days and you use it when you need it. The experience overseas as well as in businesses here is that people do not exploit that. It is a relationship of trust which is working. So I want to put people's minds to rest on that point. In the final few seconds—just for all those people who have been fighting for this for so long and for those women who went back because they had no other choice or felt that they could not get out I hope tonight gives you some courage. Kia ora. Bill read a first time. Bill referred to the Justice and Electoral Committee.
