Ross Jami-Lee; Tolley AnneJAMI-LEE ROSS (National—Botany): I know it's been a very challenging day for the Government but that speech from the Minister of Transport was another example of a Government that has already lost its way. That's the guy who's been up and down the country for months trying to sell himself as the great saviour for road safety in New Zealand. He's literally moved billions of dollars of funding within the transport sector and sold it all as a big road safety campaign on behalf of the Government but when it comes to the opportunity for them to stand up in this House and actually vote for something to do with road safety—[Minister Twyford leaves Chamber] goodbye Phil—they're found wanting. They're opposed to it. They don't like the idea of people and the police having the ability to detect when people are taking drugs. They don't like the idea of the police being able to enforce drug laws on the road. They should seriously be looking at themselves and how they're voting here tonight.I actually think Stuart Nash should be taking a call because Stuart Nash was quite wise on this issue only a couple of years ago. In Opposition a couple of years ago Stuart Nash was a champion for roadside oral testing. He was a champion for doing the right thing. He now has an opportunity to vote for it. Back in 2016 Stuart Nash was in the media—up in lights. He was called a huge supporter of random oral roadside testing. He even said that if technology exists to allow for this type of roadside testing in a timely efficient and reliable way we should be looking at it. Well here's the opportunity Labour Party. It's time to look at it. It should be sent to a select committee so it can be looked at.Now Phil Twyford has some issues. He has some concerns. That's fine; that happens with just about every piece of legislation. What's the solution to it? Send it to a select committee to look at. If they were on this side of the House and they had a member's bill on an issue they would be up on their hind legs whining and whinging hoping that it would go to a select committee pleading for it to go to a select committee so it could be looked at but go over there into Government they completely change their tune.This isn't unusual from this Government though. The very first piece of transport legislation that ended up in the House just after the election was a carryover of a maritime piece of legislation that we had. The Government picked up our law and they were progressing it but they made one change to it: they removed from that Maritime Transport Amendment Bill—this was Julie Anne Genter as the Minister in charge of it—the ability for random drug tests to be undertaken. They sent a message back then that in the maritime industry in that part of transport they didn't care if people were in charge of ships and they were drugged up. They took that random testing out of the bill.Now we get into an even more serious issue where potentially police would have the opportunity to detect people on the road who are drugged up and not able to drive a car safely. When the Parliament can give police the power to be able to test for that they don't want to support it.This is a very simple bill. It's not hard. It's very clear. The bill in the change in new section 11B set out in clause 5 says A person must not drive or attempt to drive a motor vehicle while that person's oral fluid contains evidence of the use of a specified drug." What are those specified drugs: MDMA—Ecstasy; methamphetamine—we know what that is; THC—cannabis. The Labour Party in voting against this today is effectively saying to New Zealanders that they are happy with people driving on our roads with those drugs in their system. They're saying to the police too they don't trust them to be able to carry out properly roadside oral fluid testing.In fact the arguments the Minister made tonight were the very same arguments that people would have been making against breath-alcohol testing decades ago. If Phil Twyford was in charge of laws back in the time when breath-alcohol testing was coming in he probably could have made those same arguments. I'm sure they were made in this Parliament. I'm sure people up and down the country said "Oh we don't want this to happen. We don't think it's necessary." Well that change in legislation has saved hundreds if not thousands of lives in the decades since it was passed. Here's an opportunity to do the same when it comes to drug testing.In the last year more fatal crashes involved people with drugs in their system than involved people with alcohol in their system. That tells us that this is an issue and the police—if they go and talk to their local constabulary—will tell them that this is an issue police care about and New Zealanders care about. Here's an opportunity for the Parliament to do the right thing. Alastair Scott's put forward a proposal that even Stuart Nash supports. We support this. We support the police to do a good job and I just wish the Labour Party would fulfil their rhetoric around transport safety and actually vote for this bill.DEPUTY SPEAKER: I call the Hon Lees-Galloway."
