Barry MaggieHon MAGGIE BARRY (National—North Shore): Thank you Madam Chair. I rise to speak to the Smoke-free Environments (Prohibiting Smoking in Motor Vehicles Carrying Children) Amendment Bill. This is a bill that as our health spokesperson the Hon Michael Woodhouse has said doesn't go far enough. It doesn't include vaping.With respect to Minister Jenny Salesa who has just resumed her seat the Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) tabled in her name does not go far enough. It narrows it somewhat by exempting caravans motorhomes. While the intention of the SOP is to narrow the focus it is still ridiculous to allow smoking in cars where young people might be if they are used as a dwelling. It is the kind of virtue signalling that has made a nonsense of a bill that really ought to be making a heavyweight contribution to New Zealand's goal of being smoke-free by 2025 something that in the past the Labour Party—and certainly the Māori Party when it was here—championed under Dame Tariana Turia.So we need to be sensible if we're going to attain the goals. Unfortunately this SOP stops short of good sense because people will still be able to smoke in vehicles where there are children if they are parked on the side of the road. So while there may be some exemption around homes I think the underlying dogma that people should—while not desirable that they live in cars but if they do then they are still able to smoke in those cars if it is stationary with children in the car.I have a deep failure to understand why an individual who needs to smoke a cigarette can't just get out of the vehicle for the duration of smoking a cigarette. I was conferring with my learned colleague Ian McKelvie about how long it takes to smoke a cigarette. We're a little hazy on that one but it's a couple of minutes. It's not going to be a game-changer. If somebody is that addicted that they have to have their cigarette—fine get out of the vehicle. Do not leave those toxins and that smoke in the car.So while the SOP in the name of the Minister goes a certain way to tweak new section 20D(2)(b) set out in clause 9 it doesn't go far enough in our view so we won't be supporting it. However we will support the far more sensible SOP in the name of the Hon Michael Woodhouse which is that a person may smoke in a motor vehicle if the person is the only occupant of that motor vehicle and is under the age of 18 years.So it is an effort to I don't know kind of improve a bill that needs more. But on the other hand we are trying to be positive and constructive on this side of the Chamber so that is an SOP that we will support because it does go some way to amending a fairly you know fundamental flaw in this bill. I have been in the select committee and I have spoken on this bill several times. I think that as the Hon Michael Woodhouse has pointed out some of the submitters including young people who are at the heart of this legislation came to us with very moving and intelligent and articulate testimony that we must do all we can as legislators to stop the smoking in cars.The vaping issue which we will come to later under extended hours in this Chamber—slightly concerning that it wasn't better organised and did not come in at a time to help inform this Smoke-free Environments (Prohibiting Smoking in Motor Vehicles Carrying Children) Amendment Bill but it seems to have been scrambled together. So it will be up for debate in the Chamber later this morning. But it's part of the overall package of incoherence of this Government where it makes piecemeal adjustments takes legislation that we had prepared for example in the case of the Hon Nicky Wagner who had an excellent bill formerly and has tried to put it before the House on a number of occasions. It's been turned down for the most base sort of political reasoning and it is now almost replicated and coming back lo and behold as a Government bill when the Hon Nicky Wagner had put all the hard work and effort into it.It was a bill that should have been passed a long time ago with the political will of this House but it wasn't because of Labour and the Greens and the dogma they bring to this one and their fundamental failure to acknowledge that anybody but themselves has an idea around what would make good legislation.So a lot of time's been wasted not only in this House but also in the lives of young people who have been adversely impacted for years longer than they needed to be in terms of smoking in vehicles because this slack incoherent incompetent Government couldn't get their act together to support the Hon Nicky Wagner's bill and has not listened to good sense in the select committee. I hope that the House will support the Hon Michael Woodhouse's Supplementary Order Paper. Thank you.
