Prime Willow-JeanWILLOW-JEAN PRIME (Labour—Northland) (remote): Tēnā koe e te Māngai o te Whare. Thank you very much for this opportunity to take a call on the member's bill this evening. It is a pleasure to take a call on the Child Protection (Child Sex Offender Government Agency Registration) (Overseas Travel Reporting) Amendment Bill in the name of Greg O'Connor. I have listened to all of the contributions this evening and want to thank all the members who have participated in the debates so far. What I think it has shown to me is that there is interest across the House in looking at all of the things that we can do to protect our tamariki our taonga tuku iho both here in New Zealand but also internationally.I want to acknowledge the member whose name this bill is in who has brought this issue forward from his experience as we heard as a detective and former police officer. And so with that experience identifying that there is a gap in the current law and proposing one tool that we can use to help address that gap.I was concerned by the contribution from the Green Party member Golriz Ghahraman in particular saying that registers don't work. Yet when we heard the contribution from Greg O'Connor whose bill it is he said in talking with sex offenders that the register removes temptations and opportunities. And so I look forward to receiving submissions as a member of the Justice Committee—hopefully a wide range of submissions. But also he said that we should invite the Police and Corrections to make submissions on this. And I look forward to that happening and to the contributions that they might make about it particularly in light of some of the claims made in the debate this evening around the efficacy of registers. Regardless of that though I think that there is no harm in having in place additional tools that may help prevent further harm to children internationally as we currently have that for children domestically.I also want to commend the members Greg O'Connor and Erica Stanford for working together on their bills and identifying that they are potentially complementary to each other and getting agreement that we will consider both of those together at the select committee. So I think that the invitation to Police and Corrections as suggested by Greg O'Connor perhaps we could add to that also Customs which might provide us with information—talking to the member's bill of Erica Stanford and as a potential Supplementary Order Paper.So I just want to go back and say that I acknowledge Greg O'Connor for identifying a gap in the law for identifying that there are further things that we could do here in Aotearoa New Zealand to protect children globally. And I want to thank Vanushi Walters for her contribution about our international commitments to protect children and to uphold the rights of children and seeing this as yet another thing that we can do domestically as part of upholding that international obligation.So what this bill simply provides is a clause 4 amendment to section 21 to align international reporting requirements with domestic travel; and where reporting requirements are not met without good reason some penalties may apply. So I am honoured and privileged to be a member of the Justice Committee. Alongside of me are experts in child sex offending and Family Court issues like Dr Emily Henderson experts in international human rights like Vanushi Walters. We look forward to scrutinising this bill and reporting back to the House with hopefully suggestions on how to make this the most appropriate piece of legislation.
