McKelvie IanIAN McKELVIE (National—Rangitīkei): Sorry—Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER: You forgot my name didn't you?IAN McKELVIE: Ha ha! It is like Friday afternoon. It is a pleasure to get up and support this piece of legislation which interestingly is quite a difficult piece of legislation to put together because it has brought together a lot of strands. Like so many things that happen in this place it was put together as a result of the actions of one very clever and rather crooked man and I guess that is what happens with a lot of legislation we have in this House.I want to comment on only about three things. Two of them have been raised by speakers previously and I want to comment a perspective on that. Also I want to acknowledge David Clendon who has been on the Law and Order Committee for all the time that I have been in this House. Even though the Greens often disagree with the pieces of legislation we are putting through the House he has brought a very measured approach to that committee and he has been a very valuable part of the committee in the time I have been on it. He will be missed I think because he has got a way about him that is pleasant and he makes a great contribution.I want to talk about the privacy issue that has been raised and it was certainly raised by Andrew Little earlier in the debate. He made some points that the committee considered at length. It was quite a difficult issue for the committee because we were really trying to get the balance here between people's right to privacy—and on the whole they are people who have been convicted of a crime of one sort or another—people's safety and the rights of victims to protection as well and that is the critical piece of this. So it is a very difficult balance for this Parliament to get. As we gather more and more information on people—and technology has enabled that—it becomes more and more difficult for the legislators to put in place safeguards around how that information is used. Given the circumstances I think this piece of legislation has got to the right balance in that area.The other issue that was raised by an earlier speaker was the issue of executive power. If you think about the amount of legislation that goes through this Parliament—and all other parliaments I expect—in this day and age it is extremely difficult given the pace of change that we see in life today as opposed to the pace of change some years ago for those legislators to keep up with the changes required in legislation by bringing pieces of legislation back to the House every time you need a change. Hence the need for the considerable amount of executive power that is put into some of these bills. And by executive power" obviously I mean the ability to regulate and change regulation at a reasonably frequent pace. That is pretty difficult again for committees to get their heads around I think.Those two changes have both been brought about by the massive increase in the pace of life that we live and the increasing technology and many other things that are happening in life today so there will always be challenging legislation that deals with people's rights. I think it is something that will have to be considered in the future as to how we deal with this sort of issue as a Parliament because it is complicated. It is giving some power in a lot of these cases to one or two people to make some quite significant judgments. So I have got no problem with the bill. I think it is well put together and I certainly support it. Thank you."
