Bennett PaulaHon PAULA BENNETT (Deputy Leader—National): Well at the best that was boring—absolutely blatantly the usual that we hear from a man who is absolutely boring. I would have expected a little more pizazz a little bit more of the—but the jokes quite frankly now ladies and gentlemen have got to be about 26-27 years old. They get recycled slightly with a different name with a different version of it.Quite frankly what we're seeing at the moment is a whole lot of horse trading going on between the Government and the various three parties and it's quite interesting to see how that's going. I say to the Greens: you're swallowing a lot of dead rats whether it's waka jumping a capital gains tax and now a binding cannabis referendum. I was with you on option four. I just felt that if we're going there the public deserve the most certainty they can have. They deserve to have as much say as they can. They deserve to actually go into a select committee process where we have the experts alongside of it where actually it can be refined a bit and improved. We see that in bills all the time in this House which is why we have that process committee stage. I think we would have seen a better piece of legislation if it had been given that kind of process and the public deserve that. My own personal views—and I know that everyone tries to say that I'm a bit here and a bit there. My job actually is to raise concerns and my job is actually to test us all a bit more in this area on what I think is one of the most important decisions that we're going to make in a while because it really could change the fabric of society.So in the year of no delivery that we're seeing from the Government it is interesting that the only thing we're actually getting delivered is a referendum that is by no means in any way shape or form binding. If we had the interests of the public at the heart of what we were doing then I think that we would have gone back to that and actually given them something where they knew what they were voting for and I think it's really important. There are a whole lot of questions. So what we constantly hear from the Greens—and I'm hoping that the Green member's going to take a call and that would be really good—is that we want to get rid of that black market that we want to see fewer gangs. Who wouldn't agree? You know there's no one that wants to see the gangs thriving pushing more drugs to particularly our youth. What unfortunately we are seeing and it's not just in Canada—and granted it's only one quarter—but in Canada where it is legal for the first quarter of 2019 actually still 38 percent of those that used marijuana bought it from the black market. I would have thought that they would have gone and got it legally because that would have made sense—it's legal now you can go to a local shop you can get it. I expected it to be less than 10 percent I've got to be honest that would still be going to a black market. So that sort of proves it.In California where of course it's been legal for more than a year there are reports in the New York Times where they are saying and the local mayor and that are saying that actually they think that the black market is thriving and doing better and actually they are seeing more of it and not less. It kind of fits logically. I personally think if it gets legalised—and I've got to say that at the moment I would say I hope it doesn't—I believe that we should be testing the potency and putting a regulation on the potency of THC. Canada and Colorado don't do that but that means we're making sure it's not too strong yeah particularly in edibles. To do that you need to test around 10 percent of the product—Kieran McAnulty: No one's listening.Hon PAULA BENNETT: —right to make sure that that THC—well they should be listening actually Jamie Strange because this is really important. Kieran McAnulty: Jamie Strange! Ha ha!Hon PAULA BENNETT: This is about—oh well I do get them all a bit mixed up I've got to say because there's a lot of those guys that all look the same. Actually I've got to be honest—I don't even remember your name. I'm not sure if you've ever spoken. SPEAKER: Order! Me?Hon PAULA BENNETT: I'm not being rude—it's not at you sir. I do remember yours but I'm really struggling to remember the member's name which must be proof of his contribution to this Parliament so far. I really have no idea so I'm not even going to try and go there.But what is important is actually this debate and the fact that New Zealanders are going to be debating it. I believe that actually testing 10 percent of the product is going to be about a 40 percent tax which means that gangs and things won't be paying it which means the black market keeps thriving which means that they also get a higher-potency product which means that there's a market for it it gets into our young people and I think there's huge risks in it and I'm pleased we're debating it.
