Stanford Erica; Rurawhe AdrianERICA STANFORD (National—East Coast Bays): Thank you Mr Speaker. I'm very pleased to take a call on the Child Protection (Child Sex Offender Government Agency Registration) (Overseas Travel Reporting) Amendment Bill.Firstly I just need to acknowledge Greg O'Connor for having his bill drawn and just make a comment on how serendipitous it is that both his bill and then my bill got drawn at a relatively similar time given that they are quite similar. I also just want to echo the comments of others to say that it is really nice in this House to be able to work across party to be able to not waste the House's time but actually put two very similar bills together to make what is a very good bill that's been brought by the member Greg O'Connor to the House even better.I won't go into the Green Party's comments on the bill tonight in detail other than to say that the title of this bill is the child protection bill. It is not a further penalising the offender bill"; this is a bill about protecting children. Greg O'Connor's changes to the Act in his bill are thoroughly sensible. As has been traversed in this House it makes perfect sense to align the domestic settings with international settings.In fact when you look at section 21 of the original Act and look at subsection (2) and subsection (4) you can see that they don't align. We brought this bill back in 2015 but looking back now it doesn't make sense that those two don't align. That's why this bill is so good. It means that for those people travelling overseas those people on the Child Sex Offender Register will have exactly the same criteria that they have to abide by as if they were travelling domestically—making sure that there is an address that they give where they're staying the dates on which they are staying at each of those addresses and whether any children are likely to be there at that address.Now the part of the bill that is missing and why I said earlier it was serendipitous that my bill was drawn at a similar time is that the person on that register is supposed to and is required to tell the police when they travel. But obviously that isn't always the case and it has been possible for people on that register to travel overseas without having disclosed to the police where they have been.So the Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) that I intend to seek leave for to move a motion without notice and without debate for the Justice Committee to consider at the same time—SOP 175 in my name—will make those changes to make sure that there is alignment with Customs and the Police so that there is more information sharing so that we can make sure that the offender on that register has indeed fulfilled their obligations and made it clear to the police when they are going where they are going and if any children are going to be present. That's why it aligns so nicely with Mr O'Connor's bill. So I will move that SOP at the required time.I don't need to say any more; this has been well traversed today. It's an excellent bill. It tidies up a piece of law. It makes absolute sense. It was a no-brainer in our caucus as Mr Mark Mitchell previous to me made comments on. I'm just so pleased that Greg O'Connor who I always describe as my favourite Labour MP was able to work with me on this bill on such an important bill to get the law tidied up so that we can continue to protect children—not just here in New Zealand but also overseas. So I'm very pleased to commend this bill to the House.DEPUTY SPEAKER: Members this debate is interrupted and set down for resumption next sitting day.
