Lorck AnnaANNA LORCK (Labour—Tukituki): Thank you Madam Speaker. I have to confess that I'm not one who buys gift cards nor am I one that's good at spending gift cards. I had to take the conversation before from Stuart Nash around teenagers and it has become such a very popular way of teenagers—for birthdays and for Christmases—coming together to be able to afford a good present for a friend.So I refer to my daughter Olivia who actually just last week said Mum we're all going in to give one of my friends for their birthday a gift from Cotton On we're all putting in what we can afford—it's a gift card". And I said "So you don't want to go down to Cotton On and buy your friend a present?" She said no because then they can spend it on whatever they want. I was thinking about that and thinking well you know if they're given it at 14 and they don't spend it until they're 17 they might have grown up a few sizes but it's still well worth them being able to spend it on what they wish to spend it on.I did have a question that I hope will be clarified around those who buy gift cards but they are aligned to an actual service such as going to a beauty salon or a spa where somebody might actually gift a massage not actually a monetary value but an actual massage. So what would happen there if it was actually connected to a particular service? I also think it'll be good to hear from the retailers and those businesses that are offering gift cards because if you have sold that service but that service is not then used or that money has not spent for three years when it comes to actually providing that things may have changed in the business and you may well have sold the business. So I think that those are facts that will need to be worked through in the select committee process.One of the gift cards that I do think is one that I have—I was thinking "Have I actually purchased any gift cards?"—and the other one would be for at the supermarket. I often think that that is a very good gift to give somebody who may use it over a period of time. So that again I think is a good way to gift on a gift card. However I do wonder why people don't give them to me. Maybe it's that they like buying me actual gifts rather than—and think about it when they do. As somebody who likes to go shopping I do enjoy also purchasing gifts for people and seeing them wrapped up in a present. So I might now that I see this bill coming through the House give a little bit more thought to using a gift card but I'd probably have to wrap it up in a big box with a big ribbon and make it feel like I'm actually giving a gift.I was not surprised that there was nearly $254 million worth of gift cards that are not used a year which I thought "Wow that's significant isn't it?" If that's sitting on somebody's businesses' books and they still have to get those purchases or services out the door. I do wonder about the deadline. I think that sometimes we need deadlines to get things done and to spend and get the service under way. So on that I wonder whether three years will be what comes back from retailers or yes we've seen that that's what Australia does.But I commend the member for—congratulate the member for having it pulled from the biscuit tin and like the rest of my colleagues over here we are supporting the bill and it's good to be speaking positively on something. Thank you."
