Utikere TangiTANGI UTIKERE (Labour—Palmerston North): Tēnā koe Madam Speaker thank you. It's a pleasure to take a brief call. I guess what I would like to start my contribution in the House with this afternoon is that we don't make any excuses on this side of the House for what this piece of legislation will deliver. I've been sitting here this afternoon listening to the contributions from some members opposite. We don't hate on the people of Grey Lynn here on this side of the House we don't hate on those that choose to drink chardonnay. But it seems to me that there are excuses a lack of ideas coming from members opposite and it's just excuses excuses excuses.When we have a look at what this legislation will deliver it will make a significant change it will deliver on the independent Climate Change Commission's advice to this Parliament about steps that need to be taken. I took a call on the second reading of this legislation so I won't go into the specifics of what the select committee delved into but what I would say is that when we have a look at the their recommendations and the work that they did they've made the proposed legislation much more user-friendly identified the role that the Minister will play in terms of taking advice—and then I'll leave it for members themselves to have a look.But I reflect on the three aspects that remain unchanged for me at second reading. Really what this legislation does is it provides a focus in terms of supply and the variability and variety that would be delivered in that particular space—that's the first thing. Secondly is that it does create incentives and colleagues on this side of the House have already referred to the incentives that would be put in place. The third is around transparency. The bill itself provides transparency not just for the manufacturers that would be importing these vehicles but also for those members of our community who would purchase the vehicles ensuring that they knew the information about the vehicles that they knew specifically whether it was electric vehicle (EV) hybrid and what the particular subsidy would provide as well.When I reflect back on the independent advice of the Climate Change Commission that is from Ināia tonu nei it is around providing fiscal incentives which this bill does; it is around lowering the cost which will be a flow-on effect; and it will be a matter of urgency which is why we are committed to seeing this piece of legislation through the Parliament this afternoon.When I reflect on a couple who actually came to visit me in my electorate office when the Government had announced that this was going to take place and that the subsidy was put in place they were able to discuss with me their thought process and their thinking around why they decided to purchase an EV an electric vehicle. For them the incentive for a subsidy was part of the reason why they decided to make that particular decision. This will continue in place. It will continue to support the focus around supply the incentivisation but also the transparency that is obviously needed as well. This has proven that it is a huge success. The Government will continue to support initiatives in partnership with others around infrastructure that's being rolled out to support EVs hybrids and the like. I am delighted to be able to commend this bill to the House.
