McLellan TraceyDr TRACEY McLELLAN (Labour—Banks Peninsula): Thank you Madam Speaker and thank you for the opportunity to also make a contribution on the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Bill tonight at this second reading.Like colleagues previously I would like to very sincerely and warmly commend the Associate Minister of Health the Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall for being the person who has been bold enough and had the foresight to tackle what is essentially a wicked problem. I'd also like to acknowledge the members of the Health Committee a committee that I'm very proud and pleased to be on and I thank all of the submitters who took the time to make submissions. Most of the submissions were really informative. There was a wide range of submissions. There were submissions from all over the world. There were submissions from academics who had dedicated their life to looking at smoking cessation and addiction who were up in the middle of the night to do their five or 10 minutes on Zoom so that they could be part of what they described as a truly innovative and bold piece of legislation going through our Parliament in a world-first context.When I think about smoking and the relationship that I've had with smoking for almost as long as I can remember one of my earliest memories is coming home opening the back door to the cloud of smoke that would fill the family home stealing cigarettes to the shed and at primary school and practising smoking because we thought that was just something that everybody aspired to. If you were going to do it you may as well do it properly and learn how to do that drawback as quickly as possible.To one of my early working experiences working at Telecom in the 1980s—it wasn't the 1950s or the 1960s; it was the 1980s—there was a black ashtray on all of the desks. It was around about that time that at least you had to go to a separate room to have your cigarette break. To flying to Australia when I was 18 my first time going overseas and the smoking section was roughly in the middle of the plane so that it distributed toxins evenly to everybody throughout that travel. I suppose that the point I'm trying to make is that the world being any different smoking being any different to what it was in front of me seemed like an impossibility. It seemed like it would be something that would always be part of our everyday life.I remember working in a bar when the law was changed so that people couldn't smoke at bars and we literally had strategic plans in place for how we were going to deal with the downturn which never happened—absolutely never happened. There's always going to be those arguments put in front of us to say why we shouldn't do something that's bold and innovative but when we weigh up those arguments against the sheer numbers of lives that are saved and the sheer number of people whose quality of life would be improved then there simply is no contest.When we're dealing with complex behaviours which we always are when we're looking at something in relation to addiction there must be a multi-prong response and that's why there's three pieces to this legislation—three legs so to speak. Cues and reasons why people do things aren't the same for everybody.So the fact that there will be a smoke-free generation which again is revolutionary the fact that we will be reducing the number of outlets and the supply all of which provides visual clues for people—and it's no coincidence that a lot of those outlets are clustered in lower socio-economic areas as well—and the ability to reduce the nicotine in cigarettes all adds up to a cocktail so to speak of remedies for tackling what is an atrocious situation in this country in terms of smoking.So I'd like to again say that this bill represents an opportunity for us in this House to do something that's actually profound. It's not always often that we get to do something that's profound. It's world-leading; it's something we should be proud of. I commend this bill to the House.
