Ngobi Terisa; Salesa JennyTERISA NGOBI (Labour—Ōtaki): Malo 'aupito and Fakaalofa lahi atu Madam Speaker. It's always an honour and a privilege to take a call in this House of change not only as the member of Parliament for the beautiful Ōtaki electorate but also on this the members' day and of course to speak on the Biosecurity (Information for Incoming Passengers) Amendment Bill. This member's bill that was introduced in the name of my friend and my colleague Steph Lewis the member of Parliament for the Whanganui electorate and amazing mama of Flynn and Miss Scarlett. So congratulations e hoa on your bill the third reading.As we've already heard tonight the bill amends the Biosecurity Act 1993 which requires that aircrafts coming to Aotearoa before they land and before the passengers disembark are very clear about their responsibilities to help us protect our natural environment and our biosecurity by reading and understanding and signing up to the information provided and knowing that though they're visitors it is also their responsibility to help us to maintain our tight biosecurity measures. So we know that this bill strengthens those biosecurity systems and protects our primary industries and environments.In the Ōtaki electorate we have businesses and industries that rely on Aotearoa having those tight and secure processes around our biosecurity and making sure that we are protecting Aotearoa and keeping those pests out. In the Ōtaki electorate we have Woodhaven just down the road. Woodhaven and the Clarke whānau—Madam Speaker I believe you visited there with me as well—supply Aotearoa with about 15 to 20 percent of our leafy greens so chances are when you pick up spring onions or lettuce that comes from the mighty and beautiful Ōtaki electorate and from Woodhaven.But Madam Speaker when we did visit you saw that Woodhaven aren't just a horticulture business; they're more than that. In the Ōtaki electorate the Clarke whānau are really supportive of single parent whānau so they have created single parent hours for a lot of their staff which means you know 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. so that people can drop off and pick up their children. The Clarke's or Woodhaven also support a lot of our community with fresh fruit and vegetables—another example during the COVID lockdown they had their staff and used their vans and their trucks to go to some of the more vulnerable areas in Levin and Ōhau and delivered to the letterboxes fresh fruit and vegetables including amazing big green watermelons. So yes chances are if you have a good green watermelon that's probably from my area too. And they filled up our pātaka and so much more. They're also massive supporters of the Pasifika community and have been long-time great employers of Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) workers from both Tonga and Samoa and now also Kiribati.If pests got into their crops the ramifications of that are so much more far-reaching than not only our biosecurity; it also affects their business their livelihood and then of course their staff's livelihood and then the work they're able to do and support in our communities. So that's the crux of it right. So it's about our biosecurity but it also is about protecting our people as well.We have many more amazing businesses—I don't like to name them all because I'm scared I'm going to miss some out but they do rely on places like Shirley's Strawberries Lewis Farms Manakau Market Waikawa Blueberries Te Horo Gardens Ōhau Wines and so much more.Iwi also rely on us making sure that we get it right so they can continue to be good kaitiaki for their whenua. Actually we should all be good kaitiaki for our whenua. Places like Lake Horowhenua Punahau; Waikawa Beach; Lake Papaitonga; Te Horo Beach; Waikanae Estuary; Kāpiti Island which has some of our indigenous plants; Ngā Manu is another place in Waikanae who has some of our indigenous plants—we want to make sure that our tamariki and our mokopuna to come can still enjoy those things. So this is such an important bill; ka pai you Steph Lewis for bringing it through for protecting not only our biosecurity but our livelihoods for many of our people and somewhere our mokopuna and tamariki get to enjoy. Kia ora.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): Fakaaue lahi.
