Coffey Tamati; Williams PotoTAMATI COFFEY (Labour—Waiariki): Thank you Madam Chair. I talk delicately when I look at this bill because it wasn't too far ago in my own electorate in the Waiariki electorate that some people were accused of having weapons up in the hills of the Ureweras. When I look through this and I look at some of the penalties and some of the regulations that are in place I personally think it's a really good thing.There are a couple of things—a few points—that I'd just like to get a bit of clarification about from the Minister in the chair Tracey Martin while we've got the opportunity. First of all is just about the situation having the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade assessing the applications. I think that New Zealanders will be happy to hear that there are some strong safeguards in place. I think the term fit and proper person" is very good and very telling. I'm happy that there will be people there assessing whether or not people are fit and proper people.The point that was made was about using the strategic goods criteria to assess applications and I was just wondering from the Minister if she could just talk a bit more about what that criteria entailed. I knew that the refusal of an application as it reads is if the person that was applying was in fact going to somehow breach New Zealand's obligations under the UN Security Council resolutions—also any of New Zealand's other international obligations as well—and obviously a person can be refused if the goods are going to be used in the commission of genocide crimes against humanity or war crimes. So I think they're all very fair. I'm just keen to learn a bit more about those criteria and also the other international export control regimes—just a little bit of information about them. I know that there are only four of them but I just wondered whether or not the Minister could just give us a brief rundown on those four export control regimes that New Zealand participates in if there's a possibility.I'm also just wanting to take a little step back and have the general conversation about how much of an issue weapons brokering really is in New Zealand. I'd never currently entertained the thought that there are people sitting in offices around New Zealand that are in this area. As I understand it there are 11 I think and of that only a small part of them are quite active. I just wanted to understand—and I think also for the people out there that are listening to this or watching this online—whether or not New Zealand is a big player in this game or a small player whether or not we are potentially going to be bombarded with applications from people that decide that weapons brokering is the business that they want to get into. Simon O'Connor: That's a good pun.TAMATI COFFEY: So a wee bit more—what's that?Simon O'Connor: "Bombarded"—that's a good pun.TAMATI COFFEY: "Bombarded". Thank you. I'll take that pun. And also I guess a key part of this legislation is just making sure—CHAIRPERSON (Poto Williams): I'm sorry to interrupt the member.
