Bennett GlenGLEN BENNETT (Labour—New Plymouth): Kia ora Mr Speaker. I actually rise with a bit of a heavy heart tonight as I listen as I prepare as I reflect on the challenges that face a 21st century globe. As the previous speaker Mark Mitchell who just sat down said we've got a long way to go. I've felt for a long time that the internet is this experiment that social media is an experiment that apps and dating apps are experiments that we'll look back on and actually think What the heck were we doing? The damage that it did!" As Mark Mitchell just said we have a lot of work to do to ensure that our connectivity that our internet is a safe place for all people. And so I rise in support and I want to thank Louisa Wall for bringing this into the ballot into the House and hopefully passing it into law.As I've listened I've reflected on Sarah Pallett when she said sharing an intimate image isn't illegal with consenting adults and we're not here to talk about that; we're here to talk about what happens when there isn't consent. I'm glad to see that in our schools we're doing a whole lot more work around what consent is and I know the young men that I work with—it's been a long long journey around what consent is what respect is. If you can't respect yourself how can you respect others? It is a long journey and it is a continuous journey. The challenges we have with dating websites and apps—we need legislation like this to ensure that all people are protected.Now for myself in looking at this and when I read some notes about it it talked about obviously as others have said that young adults women and the rainbow community are the most affected. Being someone who comes from the rainbow community it got me thinking. And it got me thinking about normalised behaviour and growing up what I thought or what I saw seemed normal but then realised as I grew wasn't normal. I think of the football and the rugby and the cricket and the changing rooms around our nation and the normalised behaviour that used to exist—in some places it probably still does but mostly it used to exist—where it was OK to be that staunch bloke that male that was all bravado and that would have happily shared a photo from their latest—I can't even think of the right word to say that would be appropriate for this House. But we need to do something. We need to ensure that our young people are safe but also that they are educated.This piece of legislation seeks to ensure that the police have the ability to prosecute people. Currently under current law the offence of causing harm by posting a digital communication requires the intention of causing harm—for that to be proven—but we want to make sure that it's not just about "Hey I'm posting it to skite or to show off. I'm not just posting this image to use to catfish other people." but to ensure that it is enshrined in law that if I do not give consent that image isn't able to be shared.Now several have spoken this evening around that 5 percent of adults in New Zealand who say that they've had personal experiences of image-based sexual abuse online. Now that number is probably much higher because there's shame that comes in this space. There's embarrassment. There's fear of what might happen if people know what I have shared what I've done that is wrong when it never was wrong until it goes into this place where there was no consent. So I say to all those out there who have had experiences: if you need help please seek help because it isn't OK to be treated so disrespectfully. I thank Louisa Wall for bringing this to the House and I look forward to seeing it passing into law. Kia ora."
