SpeechANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): Thank you Mr Speaker. It's a real pleasure to take a call. My congratulations also to the member the Hon Jacqui Dean. It's a great little piece of legislation. I am not going to be on the select committee to hear this but I do think it's important that we progress it to select committee to see if we can do some tightening up or some decisions about where we've landed with this piece of legislation. But I am quite impressed that the member has managed to have four bills drawn. I'm a little bit envious also I must just say. So congratulations. I think we all agree that biosecurity is incredibly important to our country and we are all here in this House unanimously agreeing that this should progress through to select committee. I'm going to just talk a little bit about what the bill does although that has been quite well traversed and then I thought I would take an opportunity to do a little 101 on a couple of biosecurity issues that we have in this country. So very quickly the bill amends the Biosecurity Act 1993 the Immigration Act 2009 and the Biosecurity (Infringement Offences) Regulations 2010. It increases penalties and it also as we've heard gives the power to enable temporary visa holders to be withheld from or to leave the country if they fail to comply. So that's pretty much it. There's not a lot to the bill but it's useful. These members' bills are I think often best when they are simple but have a clear reason to exist. I live in the beautiful Bay of Plenty; Tauranga Moana is my home. One of the reasons I wanted to take a call on this bill tonight is because of the amazing agriculture that we have in our community.Hon Member: Close to the glow of Hamilton.ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: It's not close to the glow of Hamilton; it is a jewel in its own right. So one of the things that we have as people will be aware is the Port of Tauranga which is almost like an international airport but for boats—OK it's getting late. So the reality is that we have a lot of stuff coming into our ports and I wanted to just talk about something that I've talked often about with Zespri our kiwifruit industry as well—the brown marmorated stink bug. I have a prop people. OK there are two things that distinguish it from the normal stink beetle but apparently if you squash it it smells just the same. So this will decimate our industries here. Hon Jacqui Dean: Is that the one that was on the PM's shoulder the other day?ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: No it is not the one that was on the PM's shoulder. So this will decimate our industry. It is so very important and I want to ask you all to keep an eye out for this but also to be aware that if you come across a pest such as this there is an 0800 number to ring. Go to the Ministry for Primary Industries—Glen Bennett: Stop drop and roll.ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: No stop drop and roll. Go to the Ministry for Primary Industries website and find out what to do if you come across these kinds of things. The other thing—because I love my oceans—is also a pest that we have in this country: it is the Asian paddle crab. Now the Asian paddle crab has only just made it into Tauranga Moana. So one of the things that I'm asking the people of our community to do is—these things are edible—go out make sure you identify them eat them get rid of them because they will destroy our ocean environment as well. So with the 30 seconds that I have left I would just like to say that while it's been a little bit of a joke and a little bit of a laugh tonight so late in the day I do think this is a really important piece of legislation. I do think that these are threats that are serious and should be taken seriously and so therefore I do commend this bill to the House.
