Ghahraman GolrizGOLRIZ GHAHRAMAN (Green): Thank you Mr Speaker. I rise again. It feels like a little bit of a déjà vu to be speaking about this bill after the night we had under urgency when the Government passed its child sex register bill into law because it deals with much of the same themes. So it's a little bit surprising to hear Labour Party colleagues acknowledge the research and what we know about the way that child sex offending works the way that it is rarely prevented through publicised registers of offenders implemented after people have served their sentences. That has nothing to do with rehabilitation—positive successful reintegration of anyone back into the community—and certainly does not relate very directly if at all to the types of causes that we know underlie this type of offending.Of course this bill as has been pointed out doesn't actually just cover child sex offending; it covers a range of other offending and that's one of the problems with it. The other is as the member who's just resumed her seat Emily Henderson pointed out that it introduces or seeks to introduce a blanket requirement that people's names are disclosed to the nearest school without the discretion of law enforcement corrections and parole officers with all of the expertise all of the experience that they have with both protecting the community and bringing together rehabilitation measures that'll help that person move forward from their offending and to bring down recidivism.Currently Corrections has a discretion—and I'll read that—in some cases of sharing information when it is in the best interests of everyone including the person released from prison and their family to schools and where they assess on an individual case by case basis that that's required or necessary for both rehabilitation and for that community to be kept safe. To move away from that seems at best unnecessary lawmaking and at worst something that could fundamentally undermine what our justice system is about which is to keep the community safe through rehabilitation and successful reintegration of offenders. It can lead to hysteria as has been mentioned to isolation of entire families to harassment—and all of that without having actually any kind of a measured or effective response to child sex offending any other kind of offending.So we know it doesn't work. I think again as the member before me mentioned this might be the kind of thing that makes us feel good because we all do care so deeply about child sex offending but it doesn't work. I think I would go further even—and I think she was being kind when she said that it would just make us feel good without being effective but I think at this point it has actually become callous of us as lawmakers to keep telling the community to keep telling victims that we're doing something to keep them safe when we know that we are not when we know that we have not as members on this side of the House should keep reminding themselves in fact invested in what keeps communities safe.When the hospitals are falling apart when there's no inclusive education when there's no jobs and homes when you come out of Government you know that's what contributes to crime. When our prisons are second only to the United States in being overpopulated already and we haven't kept any children safe we know that we need to invest in what actually prevents child sex offending. We know that the joint venture on sexual and domestic violence is the biggest that this country's ever seen. We know that's where our investment should be going as both lawmakers and people who can put actual resource into the front-line services that have been there for decades keeping our kids safe keeping families safe. When you defund those and then you bring bills like this to the House it is callous. So the Green Party won't be supporting this bill. Thank you.
