Seymour DavidDAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Thank you very much Mr Speaker. I rise on behalf of ACT to continue supporting this bill through the second reading in the hope that we'll see some useful amendments at the committee stage to come.I couldn't help but notice as I was waiting to speak the Minister of Health moving about the Chamber and speaking to the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Attorney-General coming within half a metre of their faces as he spoke. The most interesting thing was I watched you watch them and I thought I must say to the Speaker that I hope he'll reflect on that experience when deciding whether every member can sit in the House and be here for the Budget on Thursday because there would appear to be an inconsistency. But I'm sure you will think about it carefully.When it comes to this bill there are a couple of issues that need to be considered and further examined. Normally of course—and other members have said this—we would have had the first reading six months ago and a select committee would have consulted the public and issued a report and we would have got all sorts of feedback. In this truncated urgent reading we've gone straight from the first reading to the second. I have had some feedback from a former member Marama Fox who just texted me Bro this is outrageous." I certainly think that there would be people within Māoridom as she has said who would have wanted to have that kind of feedback.One area where I think it would be important to examine the bill is where it says that there are classes of people. I read clause 12. It says that these measures can be put in place in relation to generally all people in New Zealand or to any specified class of people. That's incredibly unusual because we're so wedded to this idea that the law applies to people equally in New Zealand. So the idea that the Government can single out classes of people—and I can only imagine in the context of COVID-19 they had in mind perhaps older New Zealanders. I don't know what the Minister for Seniors thinks—Hon Tracey Martin: It's in reference to enforcement officers.DAVID SEYMOUR: —but I have to say that the idea that a class of people can be singled out to have measures imposed on them is something that's quite worrying. I think we need more explanation from the Attorney-General from the Government side why it's possible to single out you know a class of person to have a restriction put on them because that I find quite worrying. Tracey Martin has been heckling throughout for people who can't hear saying that that's about the enforcement officers. Well that's certainly not my reading. It says that they can impose measures and they apply in relation to people generally to all people or any specified class of people. So Tracey Martin is heckling away and I think she's read it wrong in her claim that I have.Hon David Parker: Which clause?DAVID SEYMOUR: The other area—clause 12(1)(b)(i) is the one I'm referring to for the benefit of the Attorney-General who's now joined in the conversation here.I also say that the issues raised by Mark Mitchell around the ability of constables to enter a house because people might be having a party—well you know warrantless searches have been very tightly circumscribed. When we redid the laws for the SIS and GCSB a few years ago—and that was a time when there was a lot of cross-party cooperation and Chris Finlayson led that very well—what we said was that we would have a very finely graduated escalation where the judge would have to be involved and if there was to be some sort of urgent action it was retrospectively validated. I do wonder if this ability of the police to enter a private house to break up a party because they think there might be too many people there is really a properly proportional response to a COVID-19 party. It seems that that's excessive.So I leave those two thoughts as we progress through this urgent legislative process. It's critical if we're going to do this fast that we get it as right as we can. I see the Attorney-General getting some advice now so hopefully we'll hear a bit more about that in later stages. Thank you Mr Speaker."
