Eagle PaulPAUL EAGLE (Labour—Rongotai): Thank you Mr Speaker. It's always a pleasure to be speaking on members' bills and tonight it's the Land Transport (Lots of Different Coloured Lights) Amendment Bill" because that's what I was reading when I got the notes. I went "Never have I seen a bill that has described all the different coloured lights." I really think that the member for Pakuranga really wants a light for his own vehicle downstairs or in East Auckland there to run around in. I wondered whether that was the true thing whether he'd like a little blue light or an amber light some white stripes some stars on it. I don't know but I think there may be some underlying hope that he can slip a little light on the old electric vehicle—Parliamentary Service logo all the rest of it—a little bit of a light on top. I'm not sure.But more seriously we've heard lots tonight about these lights and I've learnt a lot. One thing I've learnt is that there's a real Auckland problem. The last time I was in here we were talking about second-hand dealers and issues with things like that. That was an Auckland problem. Now we have the second Auckland problem bill around lights around electrical trucks.Can I just share a wee story about an electrical truck. The last time I was on the Chatham Islands I saw Chatham Islands Electricity and I thought "Oh there's a truck." It's the only truck on the island. There was a cow stopping it from getting into a fence but no light needed for that just a simple wooing of the cow on the side of the road in the new truck—funded by the Provincial Growth Fund I might add—and in through. So I thought "Well maybe even on the Chatham Islands they don't need a light and therefore this is really just an Auckland problem." Maybe once some fabulous work happens on Auckland's transport networks together with the discretion—and it's happening—of Waka Kotahi then there really is just no need for this bill.I know as I said at the start there's some excitement around lights and it brings back memories of little lights. I think of my six-year-old with little police cars driving up and down the lounge and other places. Obviously the member got a little excited and then picked this bill up thinking "Yep this is a good idea." Clearly I'm really not sure. When everything else is already sorted with the rest of the emergency services Waka Kotahi—the rules are in place for granting exemptions and we've heard that they can turn power off at substations.Always good to listen to all the speakers before you because they actually build the picture up and then you get the answers. In fact I believe the member is probably feeling a little embarrassed now even putting this bill forward. You are—I know. So really there's not a lot more I can say other than that those unintended consequences about putting forward to have a different coloured light all the marketing and all the pain and all the resources—I'm thinking of the campaign that you'd have to do to even teach Aucklanders how to drive properly.Ingrid Leary: Lost luggage.PAUL EAGLE: Lost luggage—anything. I wonder what colour the light would be. We haven't really discussed that but who knows. It would have to fit in terms of the rainbow-type colour range. Hon Member: Pink ones.PAUL EAGLE: Maybe pink lights. The member for New Plymouth has suggested pink. It's not a bad colour. My shirt is raspberry so maybe a raspberry-coloured light could be OK.In all seriousness what we've heard tonight is the fact that there is a good intention but like all good intentions there are some unintended consequences. Those have been explained tonight and I'm repeating myself if I said that the provisions are there already and to say that this is really not needed. So I want to commend the member for having good intentions but in all reality we can't waste any more time and resources of this House and we will not be supporting it. Kia ora."
