SpeechHARETE HIPANGO (National): Thank you Mr Speaker. I didn't sit on the Governance and Administration Committee and I'm not going to attempt to say the title of this bill as everybody else has done. But what it does remind me of a little bit particularly listening to my friend Ian McKelvie is it takes me back to the days of the movies and that was referenced. In the days we'd go to the old picture theatres—that was the days after they were silent movies. But the title of this bill reminds me a little bit of the song Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" which was the very well-renowned song sung by Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke the paragons of virtue. There's been an element of levity in the House this evening just with the pronouncement of this bill to the House this evening.But moving to the seriousness of what this represents and depicts and it is about ensuring that the protections are there for our vulnerable who are our children but are people who are prone to things that weren't intended really for them to see. This has been prompted very much by—it's etched in our memories and in our history—the events of the Christchurch massacre on the 15th of March 2019 and the livestreamed video that people unintentionally tuned to not realising what it was until they did. So it is appropriate that this legislation the National Party now supports.There were initial reservations about the overreach that came with this. That's been remedied through the submissions having been heard the members on the select committee appropriately responding to that taking heed of the Chief Censor David Shanks and also other specialist leading international digital technology giants who gave the expertise of their experience and their advice that's been taken into account by the select committee and commend them for doing so.It's also interesting because these bills coming before the House cause us to reflect on our life experience and we draw and share that from different generations—don't we Ian? For those of us who have been around for a little while now—and I conferred with my colleague because I reflect back to the days of the 1960s and the 1970s a very renowned woman. She became renowned as being the paragon of virtue—in fact the person who deemed that she was the censor of social morality in New Zealand; her name was Miss Patricia Bartlett. I remember her for the fact that she drew very much on her experience and deemed that New Zealand was going down a pathway which required recalibration of the social fibre and moralities of our society. So for those of us who are a little bit more seasoned and experienced in life Patricia Bartlett was one of the first who is imprinted in our memory for censoring the appropriateness of what should be viewed—in those days in the picture theatre on the big screen but also through what we had access to as children in our literature and in our reading.So this films videos publications classifications—in short—amendment bill is doing that. It's recalibrating and ensuring that there are those censors that are in place with the technology that we have today that is very rapidly evolving and that with that rapid evolvement it means that there is more accessibility to that.So the National Party originally did not support this bill for some of the reasons that have been shared in the House by my colleague Nicole McKee. However we've recalibrated and take the view that we support this bill before the House and that it's not perfect but it's a very good start to ensure that there are those safeties and precautions in place. Accordingly the National Party commends this bill to the House."
