Swarbrick ChlöeCHLÖE SWARBRICK (Co-Leader—Green): E te Māngai tēnā koe. Tēnā koutou e te Whare. I just wanted to acknowledge the member the honourable Stuart Smith and put him out of his misery by stating up front that all 15 Green MPs in our caucus have had a discussion about the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Cellar Door Tasting) Amendment Bill and all 15 of our MPs—unless anything crazy happens tonight—will be supporting this bill.The reason for that is that despite some of the longbow arguments that I have heard from the member in charge of this legislation perhaps this could be a form of alcohol harm minimisation. And sure that could potentially apply at the margins with regard to charging for those tasting samples. We have a situation where—actually as the former speaker from the Labour Party the Hon Duncan Webb was just outlining—there is actually a far broader point to be made. And while I wouldn't use some of the language that he did to characterise this legislation—that being in his own words snobbish"—it is the case that this House does tend to treat certain substances in far more highbrow ways than we do other substances. So I would appeal to members of the Government in particular as well as members of the Opposition and members of this House as a whole to apply the logic that they apply to this to all substances. In fact to open the lid on the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act as a whole and the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 to take the approach that all substances can cause harm therefore the approach that we should take is: how do we put in place legislation and regulation to reduce that harm?So as I was just outlining at the start it is a bit of a longbow to try and argue that what we have here is a piece of alcohol-harm minimisation but none the less it could potentially make some difference at the margins by allowing for the charging for those samples. However I think that the far more compelling argument as the member in charge has very ably made particularly as it effects my electorate in Auckland Central and the wineries of Waiheke is that there is an opportunity here for again albeit at the margins a little bit of that economic development. Again wouldn't it be amazing if we saw these kinds of things applied to I don't know the medicinal cannabis industry in this country?So that's it really. The Greens support this legislation. It's a pretty simple piece of legislation. It does what it says on the tin. I'm looking forward to actually seeing some of those Amendment Papers from the Hon Dr Duncan Webb. I'd invite him and members of the Labour Party who have seemingly discussed this at great length to come and speak to us about some of those Amendment Papers because we may be interested in supporting them. But I also would say to the member in charge that they can look forward to some robust questioning at the committee of the whole House.Just in summarising that we'd like to thank the 72-odd submitters both individuals and organisations who put their 2c in at the select committee stage. That is of course something which we would invite all New Zealanders to do to engage in the democratic process to inform and to upgrade our legislation and something that I would encourage members of the Government to indulge in all the more often given the processes that they have currently taken to ram through pieces of legislation. Thank you Madam Speaker."
