Hipango HareteHARETE HIPANGO (National): Thank you Mr Speaker. There's a real buzz in the House in the Whare Mīere at the moment and everybody's obviously excited to hear the Resale Right for Visual Artists Bill at its second reading. Look as has been said this bill will establish an artist resale royalty scheme. The previous speakers talked about the wonderful New Zealand art collection that we have in this special place of Parliament lining the halls. The benefactors of course of this Resale Right for Visual Artists Bill will be the artists themselves.I'm just going to do a bit of a promo here from the beautiful city of Whanganui—we have a strong arts community there as well. So my whakaaro my mind turns to a lot of our whanaunga—relations—there who are artists: the likes of Cecilia Kumeroa my cousin Julian Bailey Cliff Whiting who is a well-known artist had a lot to do with Te Papa Tongarewa. His mark and imprint is not only in the whare karakia at St Paul's Pūtiki with the whakairo—the carvings—but also the paintings in the parish hall there at Pūtiki. Wi Taepa another who relates back to Pūtiki and his son Kereama Taepa's latest modern contemporary art form is just along there lining the halls.The purpose of this bill is that it would entitle eligible visual artists—and that's very interesting in terms of the definition given to that and I would probably speak to at length should I not complete my speech this afternoon. It would ensure that visual artists would be entitled to receive a royalty payment each time their qualifying artwork was sold on the secondary art market. There's still a buzz in the House and I know that it's not for me speaking to this bill. There's something more appealing and visual to come. On that note I still have two minutes and will be taking this through to 5.30 p.m. much to the displeasure of those who are listening at the moment.What I will say is I'd invite the members in this House the members and the public who are gathered here: if you haven't seen the wonderful New Zealand artist collection that's lining the hallways of this special place I'd invite you to do so. Again my whakaaro—my thoughts—turn to many of our Māori artists. So we have a Ralph Hōtere piece here; Para Matchitt again who affiliates and connects back to Wanganui from the days when he was an art teacher at Whanganui Girls' College. Those of you in Wellington who have walked along the waterfront and you cross over into the Civic area there's the beautiful wooden artworks of the albatross on the bridge—that's Para Matchitt's work. I've also talked about Māori artist Shane Cotton who is based in Palmerston North. So we have a richness in the fabric of what makes this special place buzz the way that it does.The resale right which will apply to the resale of visual artwork that occur after the first transfer or sale of the artwork and which falls within the definition of visual artwork is what this bill is all about. So in my remaining one minute and 36 seconds—35 seconds that I have this is a bill that the National Party supports because we value the importance of our artists and we value that this bill actually gives value to the resale that goes with the artwork.I'm looking over to my colleagues who are about to take their place and presence here and on that note I'm going to take my seat because there's more compelling and certainly more important speakers to address everybody in the gallery and in this House now. Kia ora.
