Clark DavidHon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Health): I welcome the member the Hon Michael Woodhouse's support of that bill. Obviously he had a slot to fill and had to find something to say. For a bill that he supported he certainly went around the houses shall we say. I think what we also need to acknowledge though is his point on police entering without a warrant. There are numerous situations where police have always been able to do that—the Arms Act the Misuse of Drugs Act the Health Act. And the member knows that even council noise control can enter. So he is really in danger of misleading the House in this situation when he doesn't acknowledge those other situations where police are able to enter the building.Now I do want to acknowledge the work of the member Jenny Salesa to get this bill through the House. Thank you for your leadership on this issue. It is an issue that has been around for a very long time—a very very long time. It's something that we don't foresee the police spending a lot of time on other than public education and information campaigns and the like having an effect on the population. We know that children can be harmed from second-hand smoke. We know that asthma and other things—lifelong debilitating illnesses—can result from exposure to second-hand smoke. So this is a really good step forward and it comes after committees previously—in 2010 the National Government ignored a recommendation from the Māori Affairs Committee on tobacco to investigate exactly this issue. In 2016 there was a recommendation from the Health Committee then chaired by National MP Simon O'Connor calling for a ban on smoking in cars with children and there was no action then of course. The National Government rejected that recommendation. So we do welcome their change of heart. It is good to have progress here.Hon Member: It's never too late.Hon Dr DAVID CLARK: It is never too late that's right to make a difference in children's lives. And we also want to put on record that of course child poverty is being reduced by the efforts of this Government and that member Michael Woodhouse stating otherwise again is not borne out by any of the facts that have been put before this House.So this is a part of a wider effort to make sure that we do get towards Smokefree 2025. We'll continue to provide smoking cessation support for people. We've got vaping facts launched now so that people who want to quit smoking through vaping have a way of getting there. And we also know that there are myriad other ways in which we are supporting people with the health issues that are created by second-hand smoke. This Government has taken seriously the responsibility of funding our health system after it's been neglected for a very very long time. So I am delighted to support this bill. Unlike the previous member who acknowledged that it would be good just to get it through and then spent 10 minutes talking I intend to keep my speech short. But to acknowledge the member Jenny Salesa for putting it through: thank you for your leadership Minister on this matter. It's really good that our children will not be threatened for ever by second-hand smoking because we are going to change the social norm that it's acceptable to smoke in a car with children present.
