Leary Ingrid; Salesa JennyINGRID LEARY (Labour—Taieri): It's a pleasure to speak again on the Intelligence and Security (Review) Amendment Bill. I have already spoken and so I don't wish to repeat the points that I made or that have been made in this House today regarding the technical nature of the bill. I would like to emphasise though that even though it is a technical bill which moves forward the date of the review from 22 September next year to 1 July this year that will have a really big impact on many communities—those communities in New Zealand who feel vulnerable as a result of the actions that happened those heinous actions in the mosque attacks or in fact other actions that have made some of our Māori population feel insecure as well. I don't wish to repeat too much about the story from my electorate—the fact that the terrorist from the mosque attacks lived there. What I will say is that my constituents are feeling really good in the knowledge that we are bringing the dates forward and that we are in action and delivering on our promises in relation to the royal commission.I would like to talk a little bit though about the broader context about the world that we live in and the light that the royal commission report has shown in terms of some of these structural biases the unconscious bias that we have in relation to the way we conduct our intelligence surveillance—and I think the timing is quite poetic given that if it hadn't been for today's lockdown events we would have had an apology in relation to the Polynesian Panthers on the weekend because in fact that was a form of using information State information to do surveillance on certain people living here in Aotearoa a form that now we find unacceptable. So this review—the opportunity to review how we use State information how we gather it is really important and I do hope that it gives us the opportunity to have a look at some of the structural bias that we have. So the Christchurch mosque attacks and indeed the case of my friend many years ago Trudi who was a dancer—I mentioned her in my previous speech in this House on this statute. She was a Tūhoe dancer. She was dragged through the court system at a very young age and named a terrorist when raids were done in relation to the so-called Tūhoe terrorists. These cases show that we have made the world very small with a dominant culture lens and it is time to go back to the drawing board and rethink things like free speech surveillance privacy security who we are as a nation and whether the restrictions that we have in place today and the freedoms that we have reflect what is fit for purpose in this world compared to the changes that have happened over those times. And of course one of the big changes is the social media platforms which allow unfettered speech. We've had the advancement of weapons including automated drones. We have the digital footprints and handprints that we leave everywhere every day that enable the State to track our movements. So we really do need to go back to the drawing board and rethink how we see these competing rights and privileges and how we get the balance right. So the review of the intelligence legislation does allow us to do just that. It asks questions like: how do we gather information? Who do we gather information on? It will enable us to get a 360-degree picture of the world that we live in and shine a light on the assumptions that our legislation makes. Of course this technical bill is just the tip of the iceberg of some very difficult conversations and very robust conversations that we will need to have in this House later as we continue to implement the 44 recommendations from the royal commission. So this was my opportunity really just to flag that—that we're looking forward to having those robust debates that it is time that we do that as a nation that we reflect on who we are as a nation. And by bringing this Act into play and being able to get on with that work is not only making people in New Zealand feel more secure it is opening the door for us to really rethink who we are and creating a better balance in our society around security and freedom. Thank you.Motion agreed to.Bill read a second time.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): In accordance with a determination of the Business Committee this bill is set down for third reading forthwith.
