Pugh MaureenMAUREEN PUGH (National): Thanks very much Mr Speaker. I'm going to also make a very short contribution to the Food (Continuation of Dietary Supplements Regulations) Amendment Bill. And we've heard from speakers already today about how small the actual piece of legislation is because all it basically is doing is changing the date that's in the existing legislation and pushing it out for another five years.But as my colleague Todd Muller has just so eloquently put it all we have done is kicked the can down the road because this legislation was first enacted in 1985. So basically the industry has been looking for some modernisation of this bill for 35 years. And with anything that we do in any aspect of life things change and they become more modern. So what we are looking for from this particular industry is a modernisation of the legislation that they are working under and unfortunately it's 35 years old now and I just put it to the Government that we don't want it to be 40 years old when we are next standing in this House looking at this legislation because the industry needs it to be modern and it needs to be competitive against its other rivals in the market place. The industry is calling for this the consumers are calling for this but the Government does seem to find it too difficult to tackle at the moment. So I put it to the Government that let's not make 2026 the target. Let's actually work towards it a lot more quickly than that so that the industry is not disadvantaged internationally.As Barbara Kuriger said earlier the Australian counterparts that are in this and the competitors in this market are able to do labelling a lot more detailed and make claims about their products but New Zealand legislation does not allow for that so they have to be very generic about the wording and the ability for that product to make health advantages to the customers. But in places like even in China which is a major market for us here in New Zealand what we've got is the inability for us to compete on an even playing field. And so we have other countries that are able to enter that market and leave us behind because we cannot advertise and promote the physical attributes that you can get from taking these supplements.So we are now unfortunately the only country in the OECD that does not have a modern regulatory system for our natural products and I think that's a real embarrassment to us. So please Government people please turn your mind to this. I know the Minister has given us a commitment today that she is looking at it already and I think that the industry would be very grateful to have a modern system in place. I have a personal interest in the field and I certainly look forward to progressing as time goes on—not too much time though Minister.We do pride ourselves in this country on our clean green environment and these products are a product of our country and we need to be able to promote them and the things that they can do for the consumers. There's a big gap that is left by not having this legislation modernised. I appreciate that the Government has moved to ensure that the legislation is rolled over but we are rolling over old legislation and regulation and it is outdated.I believe that we do need the improvements to the legislation in the future. I look forward to assisting where I can and certainly will be keeping an eye on progress and encouraging people to participate in it when it does finally find its way on to the Order Paper. I commend the bill to the House thank you.
