Lee MelissaMELISSA LEE (National): Thank you Mr Speaker. It's a pleasure to rise and—DEPUTY SPEAKER: A five-minute call—I'm sorry.MELISSA LEE: Ha ha! I knew that. It's a pleasure to rise and participate in the debate on the Fuel Industry (Improving Fuel Resilience) Amendment Bill. I think having resilience in our fuel industry is actually really important considering the fact that—first of all I'll say that the National Party supports this bill. I know that some members opposite have raised issues as to why we did not actually support the report back from the select committee. I'll answer that.We have a serious concern in terms of process as to how quickly the bill—after having actually been introduced in June the select committee only literally had two months to report this back. And that means the stakeholders literally only had two weeks to actually get their act together make submissions for this to happen. I know that Glen Bennett who chaired most of it mentioned that he wanted quality not quantity. I think that's precisely the problem that we actually see. Rushed quality is not always good quality Mr Bennett and I think that was the concern. But having said that I have to say Naisi Chen's timekeeping must have rubbed off on you as you were very diligent in your timekeeping and actually kept us in check.I think one of the issues that Stuart Smith my colleague elaborated on for the select committee process was that because it was rushed and we didn't have a lot of time and we knew that there were things that we couldn't really sort of delve into and have a deeper conversation and have had more submissions from the sector—but I think where this bill has actually come to providing resilience to actually have onshore stockholding for fuel for all petrol jet fuel and diesel and having a minimum average stockholding is a good one. And the reason is that for example in the jet fuel industry with Marsden Point closing we actually have had a bad shipment of jet fuel that arrived in the country in a space of a year. That actually meant that they had to ration fuel which meant there were disruptions in our flights.That is rather a difficult situation for us to be in considering the fact that New Zealand does in fact not only have domestic planes but we also have international visitors who couldn't rely on the jet fuel to be the right quality. Earlier I think one of the speakers mentioned about having to fly with a heavier load of fuel on the plane which is actually an extra cost for them and actually having to land in a midpoint to refuel which is also extra added cost to the industry and the airline industry.The Green member talked about the environmental concerns. I think we are all aware of that. While we are starting to rely more on electric vehicles and decarbonising away from fossil fuels we still have industries where they do rely on fossil fuels. And we need to actually keep the New Zealand economy moving making sure that things—our food and stock—are in fact delivered to the destination. They do rely on fossil fuel and having a resilient stockholding would actually mean that they can actually go about their business not worrying about having a contingency plan should there be a bad stock of fuel that is arriving like we actually had with the jet fuel industry.Some of the recommendations from the select committee which the Minister earlier talked about—one of the things that I'm particularly proud of is the penalties in relation to individuals because often some of the actions that they were actually wanting to penalise may not necessarily have been their own in terms of wanting to be a bad actor. Sometimes it's the exceptional circumstances that they are in that actually put them in a situation where they may not be meeting the required obligations. I think that is actually a good move and delaying the start date when this bill comes into action—instead of April 2024 we actually start in January 2025—is something that I really support.And on that note Mr Speaker I've run out of my time and I commend this bill to the House.
