Tinetti JanHon JAN TINETTI (Labour): Thank you Mr Speaker. I'm absolutely delighted to be standing here in support of this Companies (Address Information) Amendment Bill. And I'd like to say a thank you to Te Pāti Māori for allowing me to be able to have this call here this evening. Look just listening to the last contribution and the contribution of the Hon Andrew Bayly I'm a little bit concerned that we're hearing some of the reasons why this needs to go through and possibly even with some more urgency. And we're hearing work's coming but we don't know when that is or when those discussions will actually take place. I'm really concerned especially when I hear the contribution from Laura Trask around the really serious reasons why this bill is so important especially to some really vulnerable demographics. And it is the small-business person who is most at risk. For me in reading through some of the media that has been about this bill it is the most vulnerable business-holder who is the woman often in those situations who is having her address being published in a way that is making her unsafe. I think that we need to really take that into account and really think about is the time in the future for that work or is the time now that we need to put safety into place for those vulnerable people.I can remember having the conversation with Sarah Pallett around this particular bill as it was being put together when I was Minister for Women and saying that I would support this 100 percent because it is something that addresses some absolute vulnerabilities for women. And I want to say thank you to the Hon Dr Deborah Russell and congratulate her for actually taking on this bill because there was a bit of a concern at one stage that it might not progress any further when Sarah left Parliament.The Institute of Directors have been calling for this change for quite some time. This isn't something new that's been thought up in the last wee while—I actually have found stuff that goes back about eight years where they have been calling for this. They have been saying that changes in law need to happen and they need to happen to make their home addresses safe from people who are disgruntled—not just women in this case this is everybody—or clients who might have something that they think they can go after that person.But the one issue that I really started to get a bit antsy about when I was reading it was in November of last year when there was an article that was put up about an Auckland company director who felt forced to break the law to keep her home address off the Companies Office register when she was persecuted by a man with a history of violence towards her. Because she could easily be found on the internet she felt she had no other alternative than to do something about that. The woman secured a permanent protection order against the man allowing her to have her home address off the public searchable Companies Office register but she had to go through all that trauma to be able to make that happen. This is something that we need to address.As I said I really listened to Laura Trask's contribution there around why it needs to go to select committee why we need to hear these stories why we need to hear what it is that has brought this to this particular case and to this point in time. We can't wait for something that might happen in the future and that's basically what we've heard here tonight. That's great if people are talking about that but at this point in time it is a might. We have something concrete in front of us now that is going to keep people safe. That is why we need to be voting in support of this. We need to keep our women our most vulnerable people and those people who feel under threat safe. As we have developed—and I hadn't thought of that point but the flexible working environments that we have put in place in recent years make this even more urgent. This is something that we must vote for and I am very happy to commend this to the House.
