Lee MelissaMELISSA LEE (National): Thank you. I'd like to first of all start by acknowledging all of the members who have actually participated in this debate for some months now and also thanking everyone who has in fact participated in the process of the select committee. Today I rise to speak in support of the Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) of my learned colleague the Hon Tim Macindoe SOP 396 and also I will probably move on to talk about the Supplementary Order Paper—I can't remember the number of it—by Jenny Marcroft.I also begin by acknowledging my colleague from across the House Anahila Kanongata'a-Suisuiki who brought the context of her Tongan culture into the decision-making process that she took in this debate. I would also like to add something from my culture to that. There are several words in the Korean language that cannot be translated into English. Often when we talk about legislation in Government debates it is very difficult to translate words back into the Korean language as well. There is a particular word called hyo in the Korean language which translates roughly to filial piety filial duty. It's about children's duty to their parents their ancestors and that is very pertinent when we deal with the issue of death suicide and end of life. When I reflect on Tim Macindoe's speech in terms of the title it has to be very very clear because this bill is actually not about end of life choice. That in itself is very difficult to translate because it is actually very vague in its wording. But when we talk about euthanasia and assisted suicide it is very succinct. That confusing word the very difficult to translate word called hyo spelt h-y-o means that children are not performing their hyo when they take their own life. That is the reason why in some ways my decision to actually not vote for this bill has come forward. The other thing is a word called han. Han spelt h-a-n is grief or suffering a collective suffering of the Korean people and it is something that is shared. It literally cannot be translated into an English word but it is how the parents and the collective community would actually feel at the end of somebody's life or the act that they actually perform when they commit suicide. These two words are very difficult to translate but I just wanted to bring that into the context of the debate because I think it was last week when I had to attend the launch of the Korean suicide prevention support package by the Asian Family Services trust who do an amazing job where we have a large number of Korean people in this country who take their own life and they're trying their very best with limited resources to actually prevent people from ending their lives. Often when we talk about this particular debate the End of Life Choice Bill people actually mistake what is already available. Turning off life support is actually deemed as something that this bill provides when they actually should know that it is already legal in this country. I am in support of SOP 396. Going on to Jenny Marcroft's SOP I think my colleagues who have spoken earlier have actually mentioned that it is our duty as members of Parliament to perform it reflect the views of our constituents the people who we actually represent. As I think even Mr McAnulty actually said you know previous bills that actually made a huge impact in our society—the changes that have actually been made possible including the right of women to vote or the right of women to be in this Parliament—would not have been made possible if it was left to referendum. Yet he's willing to change it and actually vote for it. I say he is silly. That is a ridiculous argument. He's given the argument for not voting for this referendum and I would like for him to reconsider because I certainly would not be voting for the referendum.
