Leary IngridINGRID LEARY (Labour—Taieri): Talofa lava. I have some sympathy for the comments by the Green member Teanau Tuiono around the Tūhoe so-called terrorists. One of them was a friend of mine who had a gun for a dance show in her home. She was in her 20s and as a result of the raids she was dragged through the court system. So it is timely that we take a look at what our agencies are looking at as many of the speakers have said today.I'm also really grateful on behalf of the people of Taieri that we are moving this small technical piece of legislation through the House at some speed. Even though it is technical it means a lot to the people in my community. It delivers on our 2020 Labour manifesto where we have a view to eradicating violent extremism and fostering a truly inclusive society. And as has been mentioned it also delivers on Cabinet's commitment to implementing all 44 recommendations of the royal commission.It means a huge amount to the Muslim communities in Taieri because the gunman who committed those heinous acts lived in my electorate prior to going to Christchurch. He was filled with hate and he would sit in his flat not far from my house looking out at the children of people who attended the An-Nur mosque and he looked at those children with hate. He attended a local gym and he spoke to gym goers about the hatred he felt for the diverse cafe owners and shopkeepers on the main street in South Dunedin. Those people are not just constituents; they are my friends. He killed whānau of the people who attended the mosque and they still live with that pain every day. As Minister Radhakrishnan has quite rightly said the communities there still feel a great deal of anxiety. So being in action around legislation is one of the ways that we can alleviate that anxiety. I would note that we have already introduced to this House another bill in response to the royal commission the Films Videos and Publications Classification (Urgent Interim Classification of Publications and Prevention of Online Harm) Amendment Bill which is amongst the suite of measures that we are taking to show that we are urgently addressing what needs to be addressed. Also as the Green member pointed out for Māori who are feeling vulnerable this small technical bill will make them feel more safe. The Green member alluded to the highly offensive and racist video that was posted on YouTube last week and perhaps some of the rhetoric in this House has also added to those anxieties. So it does show that we are taking this seriously. As the royal commissioner said we need to review all legislation around our counter-terrorism efforts. We need transparency. We need to publish our security priorities. This will also involve a threatscape" report being published annually. We need to strengthen the role of the Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee and it adds a reporting requirement for direct access agreements that allow intelligence and security agencies to access certain databases. So in order to do that we really first need to have an independent statutory review. And the questions they will be asking are things like this: what are our current threats? Can the Intelligence and Security Act be strengthened? What specific parts of the Act are problematic as raised by the royal commission? Members opposite have talked about the balancing of rights. Certainly advice was sought from the Attorney-General as to whether it would limit any rights and freedoms under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 and the Attorney-General's office found nothing inconsistent with the Bill of Rights. There will of course be a short foreign affairs select committee process and I'm privileged to be sitting on that select committee in part of that process. As has also been mentioned by Minister Radhakrishnan the wider implications around human rights the substantive elements will go through a further substantive review through a full committee process and no doubt there will be more advice sought from the Attorney-General regarding any implications on the Human Rights Act. So in summary this small technical piece of legislation is actually really poignant. It provides surety to all New Zealanders especially those impacted by the mosque shootings or those who feel marginalised. It delivers on our manifesto commitment delivers on our commitment to the royal commission. It alleviates anxiety and it shows we're really serious about creating a truly inclusive New Zealand where all New Zealanders can feel safe. I'm really proud to commend this bill to the House."
