Martin TraceyTRACEY MARTIN (NZ First): I rise on behalf of New Zealand First as the member of the executive for New Zealand First on GLOBE-NZ. Firstly can I acknowledge Kennedy Graham as the chair—but not just the chair the driving force. To be perfectly frank we would not have all come together if Kennedy had not spent hours and hours and hours of time chasing us up with emails making sure that we were mollycoddled along some of the time. So it was like herding cats and Kennedy did it very very well.What we have produced what we now claim successful what we have produced as a Parliament with 35 members ultimately across the Parliament is a document that starts us on a pathway. I was in the European Union with the Hon Annette King and Melissa Lee a fortnight ago. This report was released on the 21st. We arrived into Brussels on the 22nd and they knew about it. They wanted to know what we thought about it they wanted to know what the next steps were for New Zealand. That is how interested they are in Europe. It was raised again in the United Kingdom when we went there because they know like we know that this is a worldwide issue and that every country must make its own pathway to participate towards what we have committed to with regard to the Paris Agreement.I also want to acknowledge the Hon Paula Bennett because the Minister interacted. The Minister was open-minded participated and had the power to shut it down. I want to acknowledge the leaders of other political parties those who are in the executive and those who are not—the Rt Hon Winston Peters Andrew Little James Shaw and others—because those leaders participated. Again this is what has given us this really solid piece of ground on which to bounce off. My colleague Denis O'Rourke will speak in more depth to New Zealand First's response to the contents of the report but we do have the capacity. I would tend to personally agree with Kennedy Graham that we need to be looking at neutrality by 2050 and I believe we have and I am going to recommend the science dinners to every member of Parliament. The numbers need to go up there people because the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research has done some amazing work funded by the people of New Zealand that will help us around soil saturation the best use of pasteurisation and where we can go from here.We need to have a wider conversation—and this will inform it—around the spread of electric vehicles and the policy constraints and the policy constructions. Is it more charging stations that actually take away distance anxiety? Is it low-cost loans that mean more people can actually buy second-hand electric vehicles? But how will we deal with the fossil fuel vehicles that are then going to be dumped on to the side of the road? All these conversations are now possible because of this report and they are all possible amongst us all because of GLOBE-NZ—because of what Kennedy Graham pulled together out of this Parliament. I also want to acknowledge the Speaker. The Speaker did not have to give permission to have this debate. This is a special event and I think he did so because he recognised that for the New Zealand Parliament to come together in such a collaborative way is unusual and it is something that needs to be recognised and given this opportunity. As I say my colleague Denis O'Rourke will speak to it more but we do want to acknowledge that Vivid Economics came all the way out here. This was not a cheap report and it should not be because downstream it is incredibly important to us as a nation—as a trading nation—because it is going to become more and more important as everybody is going to want to know how we are participating in this particular issue. I want to close by saying that I became more passionate about this issue when I visited Tuvalu. We have a responsibility not only to our nation and to the planet but we really really need to look to our Pacific neighbours and what our responsibility is in trying to put a cap on what is happening there. Other conversations about climate change refugees and so on will evolve downstream but there is an immense urgency to this issue and some of it has to do with those who we must care about most and those are our Pasifika neighbours. Thank you.
