Martin TraceyTRACEY MARTIN (NZ First): Kia ora Mr Deputy Speaker. I rise on behalf of New Zealand First to address the Films Videos and Publications Classification (Interim Restriction Order Classification) Amendment Bill—long title small bill. New Zealand First will support this bill to select committee only at this stage.I want to pick up on a couple of things that have been said apart from the visual image of Chris Bishop riding in on a horse and saving the day and so on and so forth which nobody really needed. Let us get real—the National Government did not need to talk about a hero riding in right now either.Many of the contributors this evening have talked about the book Into the River being an award-winning book and it was. But let us talk about where this conversation started. It is a winner of the children's book award—the children's book award. Because it won that award schools and school libraries bought it in large numbers. I remember this as the chairman of the board of Mahurangi College. This book was then placed on the shelves for the students to actually access. At the same time the librarians began to read the book as they do in all things.There are things that are inside this book—there are phrases inside this book—that I cannot say because of the time of night. There are descriptions of actions inside this book that I cannot repeat to you inside this House because it is unparliamentary language. I cannot say them on mainstream television because of the hour of the day. Let us be clear: the first mistake with regard to this book was the category in which it won its award. I am not making any statement on its literary value. It perhaps should have been the teenage award. It could have won the young adults award but it did not; it won the children's book award and it was placed into libraries and into schools—primary schools and secondary schools—for full access.Then Family First quite rightly—now Mr Bishop made a comment where he described Family First as a lobby group and it is. I would have thought that Mr Bishop was the last person to talk about lobby groups in any sort of detrimental manner. However Family First has absolutely as Ms Dean said used its democratic right to ask for this decision around classification to be reviewed. What we had here was a 6-week ban from the shelves. So the error in the first instance I believe was actually being given the wrong award for this particular book and when it had a classification of R14 it went on to the shelves. I do not know how many members over there have read any part of this book. Hands up—anybody ready it? No. Right.Jono Naylor: Is anybody listening?" is more to the point.TRACEY MARTIN: Ha ha! But you have not read the book. So you are going to make a decision—that member is going to make a decision in ignorance and I find that very interesting. But it is pretty much standard for that particular member. That particular member is in ignorance and the man behind him continues on that pathway. What we are talking about here is—and what we in New Zealand First want to make sure happens at select committee is—that we want to hear the voice of all of the community around what this might do. All that happened here was that one book for one time in history had a 6-week ban while it was reassessed. That is what happened here. Is it necessary to change the whole law because of that?Jono Naylor: You're going to vote for it.TRACEY MARTIN: Was it a single one-off incident—Mr Naylor I know you are going but please try to concentrate—that we do not need to change the whole legislation for? That is what New Zealand First will be looking for.With regard to Mr Bishop's comment about abolishing interim restrictions completely that is a wider conversation. Let us hope that that is outside the scope of the bill because that is another whole conversation that should be wider than just this particular select committee with regard to how the country sees censorship and protection—because that is what it comes down to—of certain age groups and certain demographics. And we heard from Clare Curran the reason why certain things end up getting banned.What we are talking about here—and as I say New Zealand First will support this bill at first reading to select committee only at this stage and I have explained that to the member whose name is on this bill. I am hoping that I will sub in on that select committee just to liven it up a bit so that I can hear all the submissions that should take place. I hope that Family First comes forward and I hope the chief censor himself comes forward to actually contribute. Kia ora."
