Lyndon HūhanaHŪHANA LYNDON (Green): Madam Speaker members of this House we have a whakataukī in Te Ao Māori: He aha te mea nui o tēnei ao? [What is the greatest thing in the world?] Sang a song about it too earlier. Engari māku e mea atu ki a koutou he pūtea he pūtea he pūtea. [I will say to you it is money it is money it is money.]What is the greatest thing in the world? As we've heard today—and in particular around smoke-free and the cuts that are going to come—it's pūtea; it's a dollar because the tax cuts that are to come need to be funded from somewhere and it's this Government's proposal that it's going to come from the pockets of those addicted to nicotine. Five-thousand people die annually from smoking-related illnesses and I've been on the front line in my history working as a quit coach. I can tell you about the ABCs offer you some brief advice and access some cessation support. I know the work of the sector has been strong and long and Smokefree 2025 was a reality for us all. I acknowledge Auntie Catherine Manning and the team that have been in the House today monitoring the debate hearing the kōrero and in fact the passion and commitment that we have to continue to push for a smoke-free generation.Increasing access to tobacco products and retailers in our communities only leads to further harm. I spoke earlier about Kawakawa having nine retailers in the community. We don't need any more—we don't need any more. And the Health Coalition Aotearoa they released an analysis around actually if we maintained the trajectory of Smokefree 2025 and implemented it as planned we could save $1.3 billion in health spend. We would not need to fill up our hospitals with those who are impacted by ill health caused by nicotine.We heard on the campaign trail the National Party talk about better health outcomes and a relentless focus on results. Yet I can't find anywhere in the National Party's campaign where they said they were going to repeal smoke-free legislation—something that's world-leading that the entire sector looks to us for leadership—can't find it. Maybe I've missed it. It might be somewhere. Or maybe it's just been a kaupapa of New Zealand First bringing it into the House as a part of their coalition agreement. I am disappointed as a kaimahi of the sector having worked with Māori health providers in DHB and also as a portfolio manager at the Ministry of Health knowing the gains made to date. Will resource be put into smoking cessation services community awareness and pushing for further community action? The inception of Smokefree Aotearoa 2025 was based on evidence. You've heard that from this side of the House. Because ultimately this repeal will see te Iwi Māori as casualties. It will impact us the most. We have the highest smoking rates. The goal was never about maintaining addiction e tātou mā; it was about eliminating the harm within our communities because our communities are the ones who are dying from these products. And yet we have a Government now and this legislation wants to remove the approvals of the Director-General of Health to sell tobacco products remove the limits on the number of retailers so that there can be more than nine in Kawakawa remove the Director-General of Health's approval of products to be manufactured and produced and sold in New Zealand and remove the requirement of tobacco products to meet the low nicotine limit of 0.8.I worry about the retention of the sale age of 18. My baby my pōtiki born in 2009—we need to see a smoke-free generation now not tomorrow and not in the future. May we make the commitment to better health outcomes for all New Zealanders based on real evidence not on political lobbying. Kia ora tātou.
