Nakhle Rima; Kuriger BarbaraRIMA NAKHLE (National—Takanini): Thank you Madam Speaker. Thank you for the understanding It was a pleasure to take a call back in the second reading a few weeks ago and it's even more pleasuresome—if that's a word; English is my second language—Hon Member: Pleasurable.RIMA NAKHLE: —pleasurable to take a call in this third reading of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Winery Cellar Door Tasting) Amendment Bill. And I'd like to thank our member the honourable Stuart Smith the MP for Kaikōura. Thank you very much for shepherding this bill that will bring a lot of joy to many people—those that own and operate those family businesses those small cellar-door wineries in places like Central Otago Hawke's Bay and West Auckland. Thank you Mr Stuart Smith for as I said shepherding this bill across the House across the wine groves of Parliament House to this the third reading in the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Winery Cellar Door Tasting) Amendment Bill.Now in a nutshell or rather in a grape cell this bill allows wineries to charge to sample their wines. Many of us in the House—not all of us and I respect that but many of us—have been on those little trips with our friends and with our family when they come in from Australia from Lebanon or from the States and we take them to our beautiful wineries to sample our stellar wines. This bill allows us to charge for a sample and rightfully so. Why should they be giving out litres and litres and litres of their well-produced wine for free?So it allows wineries to charge for a sample. This sample will be no more than 30 mil and there was quite extensive kōrero around this subject of how many mils make up a sample size and how many teaspoons but I'm going to focus on the mils. Thirty mils and that's what we came to the decision of. And I like that as well because that also points to how much we are being careful with alcohol consumption. We don't want people sculling things down like there's no tomorrow. But we're going to keep it at that good Goldilocks medium of 30 mil—30 to 35—and charge them for a sample.It also allows cellar doors to share the same licence as a cafe or a restaurant without burdening them with those extra costs that at this stage they do have. If they just want to serve some of their wines.Carl Bates: We know the cost of regulation.RIMA NAKHLE: Exactly. We're taking back some of that red tape when they can have more red wine. And Parliament's intention as Mr Stuart Smith said earlier is very clear. It's intended to allow wineries to charge for wine tastings. And we created a definition with intention for what constitutes a winery and a wine-cellar door.The great chair of the Justice Committee—in fact my favourite chair of the Justice Committee from now and into the future—James Meager the MP for—wait; I have to say this correctly—Rangitata—is that how you said I need to say it?—pointed to the fact that wine is the—Hon Matt Doocey: The valleys of Timaru.RIMA NAKHLE: —sixth largest of—[Laughs] Oh my God! Stop it please. OK. Yep. My apologies Madam Speaker—sixth largest exports for New Zealand. And I alluded to this—well not alluded; I actually pointed to this fact in my second reading speech. And with your indulgence Madam Speaker I'd like to again just expand a little bit on the pride that I feel being a wahine of Lebanese background that the second winery in New Zealand was established by a Lebanese family the Corban family. Hon Member: Really?RIMA NAKHLE: Yes Corban Wines was established and they were beaten—they could have been the first but they were beaten—by only a few months by Pleasant Valley Wines in Henderson. And this is in West Auckland. And Corban Wines was established in 1902. We're talking about a very long time ago—1902—by I'd like to say the name Assid Abraham Corban. Or in Lebanese with the Lebanese accent you'd say Assid Abraham Arben which means Eucharist. Assid migrated to New Zealand from Mount Lebanon in the 1890s and he wanted to provide a good living for his family and make a good and honest start in his new homeland of Aotearoa New Zealand. And so he established this winery Corban Wines but Assid himself like many of the gentlemen from his village in the mountains of Lebanon—it's called Shweir. He was experienced both in wine making and in stone masonry because these types of skills were taught from a young age to a lot of the gentlemen that grew up in Lebanon. They were trained in these skills. And so he felt it was an important part of settling himself in New Zealand and assimilating in a positive way as much as possible while still retaining his traditions and his links to his homeland Lebanon. I'd like to tautoko Assid Corban. I'd like to acknowledge him and the Lebanese community that came out. It was harsh for them back in the 1890s. There weren't the luxuries that many Lebanese people have now—Lebanese bread Lebanese groceries to make our beautiful flavoursome Lebanese food. It was hard but they made do and they appreciated the fact that they had an opportunity to be in such a beautiful and amazing country like Aotearoa New Zealand. So thank you and may his memory always live on. The Corban winery was sold some decades ago but his ancestors have kept the tradition going by opening more wineries. Thank you for indulging me while I just acknowledge that part of the importance of adding to the wine industry here in New Zealand.I only unfortunately have three more minutes and I'd like to just touch upon the subject of alcohol harm. And we had a member in the House a few moments ago talk about how we need to be encouraged to remember the harm that alcohol does. And absolutely I think it's important for all of us to remember the harsh harm inflicted upon all segments of New Zealand society because of excessive alcohol consumption. But here I'd also like my colleagues across the House to also remember the harm that drugs do to families to people in particular when coupled with alcohol as well. And that's why I'm so happy with how our Government is cracking down on gangs getting tough on crime so that we can make sure that drugs and excessive use of drugs with alcohol does not become more normal than it already unfortunately is.This is a wonderful bill. It makes a little bit of difference that goes a long way for many of our businesses across Aotearoa. I know that businesses in the mighty Hawke's Bay as well which I pointed to last time I was speaking in the second reading of this speech. Also we'll be happy with the fact that we're pulling back on the red tape. But as I said pulling back on the red tape we're giving people more access in a restricted and a responsible way to red and other colours of wine. We've got a commitment to responsible alcohol consumption. Thank you Madam Speaker for allowing me to share some of those thoughts. And we commend this bill to the House. I commend this bill to the House.DEPUTY SPEAKER: Before anyone else stands up to make a call I just want to respond. I've checked out the point of order that was made by Tim van de Molen. Yes it is a third reading and I have the ability to split the tenth call. It is also the Speaker's decision about how that runs. So that's the advice that I've taken. So now we are going to go from speech 11 back to the other half of speech ten which cannot be taken by Mr Brewer now. Because it's a split call it can be taken by someone like Paulo Garcia who hasn't been on his feet before seeing he's calling.
