O'Connor Greg; Grigg NicolaCHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): I do warn members that there hasn't been any real new material here so I will be looking for new material on all new speeches.NICOLA GRIGG (National—Selwyn): Mr Chair I'm very pleased to let you know that I have five Supplementary Order Papers (SOPs) and I'm up to number four of five so this is certainly my best attempt at new material and I look forward to the Minister's response on this one too.So I would like to draw the Minister's attention this time to Supplementary Order Paper 208 which we haven't yet canvassed in this Chamber. Now to be fair though I do feel like I'm repeating myself because I have—Hon Damien O'Connor: You are.NICOLA GRIGG: —asked the Minister—oh you still haven't given me an answer Minister; not a satisfactory one at least. We have asked the Minister multiple times the industry has asked the Minister multiple times to provide a framework for regulation to tidy this industry up. It's really interesting that a Government that purports to be all about just transition is prepared to cut this industry off at the knees in six months from now. So despite our best attempts—you know we've asked for the Minister to consider things like permissions regimes regulations export certificates exemptions case by case basis etc. etc. etc. The primary SOP we've put up has been asking the Minister to ask the director-general to carry out a review within three months of this thing coming into force so that he can look to the viability of implementing a world-class gold standard regime.But this time around SOP 208; I really would like the Minister to at least consider this one and that is implementing new section 54A whereby the Minister himself would review the ban on live animal shipments within three months. Now the reason we are asking for this is that it would require the Act arising from the passage of this bill which we presume is going to happen because that's what happens when a Government has an absolute majority and it knows it's in its dying days; it's going to pass anything it blinking well can for the next 12 months. It would require the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) to review the prohibition six months after it comes into force. So hypothetically speaking perhaps if it were to be a change of Government after September next year perhaps by about March 2024 the Ministry for Primary Industries would review this thing. This SOP has been put up because it recognises and we on this side of the House recognise the haste with which this Government is operating the haste with which it made a decision. We supported the immediate cessation of shipments immediately after the sinking of the Gulf Livestock 1 in 2019. We felt that was right and proper. We supported it. We then supported the Heron recommendations that MPI chose to implement as well. We believe and we know MPI believes there is a way to regulate this thing. So we think that this is a knee-jerk reaction. It is ideological; it is emotional. That is why we are putting up this SOP because we believe this thing needs to be reviewed and we do think that if and when it's reviewed it will be found to be wanting. This SOP also introduces the review mechanism so we're putting all the frameworks in place where MPI must start to look. In the context of the Animal Welfare Amendment Act it will review the prohibition on the application of issuance of animal welfare export certificates and it will consider whether the animal welfare export certificate process could be reinstated under prescribed conditions and criteria. I look forward to the Minister's response to that.
