Yule LawrenceLAWRENCE YULE (National—Tukituki): I'm happy to speak in this second reading after that substantial contribution from the last member Jamie Strange. Actually it's important on our side because Mycoplasma bovis is serious it's terrible and it's had devastating effects on farming families in New Zealand on much-loved farming businesses on much-loved animals and on mental and other welfare of hard-working Kiwis. I don't like it in this House at half past 9 at night when we actually have really short calls that make no contribution to anything to simply rush this legislation through.I come back to the point I made in the first reading which is that the DNA evidence shows that Mycoplasma bovis was probably introduced in New Zealand in December 2015—around that time. That's what they've mapped it back to. So it's been in New Zealand a long time and sure we found some issues in the National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) tagging system when it was first picked up in clinical signs in the middle of last year. But here we are late at night trying to rush something through under urgency.I actually want to congratulate the contribution from the Hon David Bennett because what he sought to do was actually clarify the powers and provision of search and seizure in the national interest. I think that all Kiwis would expect that in the interests of the national interest at certain times there do need to be some specific provisions. I'll be looking forward to that amendment being properly debated in the committee stage of this.We are not going to beat Mycoplasma bovis or in fact foot-and-mouth if it ever got here or in fact any other biosecurity risk unless we have the farmers working with us. The farmers have the most to lose. Sure it's cost $880 million and a significant contribution is actually coming from the farming families but actually the farmers are the best placed to help resolve this.I liken this to what actually Inland Revenue used to be like where most people thought they were a compliance agency they were hard to deal with you couldn't get hold of them—all those types of things. Now a lot of stuff is online and they're way more user-friendly. I think the real risk with this legislation as it's placed before this House is that the Ministry for Primary Industries will be set up and known as a whole lot of people wandering around with clipboards deciding that they can walk into your dairy shed into your woolshed into your stockyards and if you're invited—sorry Madam Deputy Speaker. If they're invited into somebody's house they can actually take their clipboard in take photos and do a whole lot of things.I don't believe the farming industry bodies that are supporting this approach—and Federated Farmers of New Zealand in particular—actually understand this particular provision of this bill. I'm mindful that the Hon David Bennett as the chairman of the Primary Production Committee offered to reconvene the meeting next week during the recess—during the recess. I'm not on that select committee but I would be happy to come back to Wellington and sub in as part of that select committee because I believe the farmers I represent are not going to take it too lightly that somehow somebody can wander into their house their woolshed their stockyards or their dairy shed and seize and search a whole lot of material without their knowledge.Now I have listened to the Hon Eugenie Sage going through a whole lot of things that are in the NAIT legislation but actually we haven't been satisfied on this side of the House despite two meetings with Ministers' officials that this part of the legislation is as it said. The Hon Eugenie Sage said she sought assurances. Well the National members have sought assurances from the Minister and his officials and we're not satisfied with what's been given.It is still not too late for the Minister the Hon Damien O'Connor to actually take this to a select committee and for the select committee to convene next week and get to the bottom of—and find all the information required on—the search and seizure provisions.
