Warren-Clark AngieANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): Thank you Madam Assistant Speaker. It's a great honour to stand and speak to this bill. We have heard some extraordinary speeches today from the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern to our Minister for Climate Change James Shaw—sorry I was just looking over his shoulder—right through to the Deputy Prime Minister. What we haven't heard really is from the Opposition who—yes while they are supporting it in this first reading what we haven't really heard is a genuine commitment to this bill. What we have heard is that they like parts of it or parts that they can agree with but genuinely in 2050 I will be 79 years of age—Dr Duncan Webb: No!ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: I know—surprising for you all. I will be 79 years of age and it is my children and my grandchildren and my moko and my nieces and nephews who will actually have to bear the cost of us not doing the right thing.This bill is actually creating a framework for us which looks at business which looks at farms which looks at the way that we as a society operate and actually suggests options and creates a standard system for how we will work in a measured way with stepping stones towards zero carbon. For me it is quite simply this: we can yell at each other or we can genuinely sit down and work together because we are all in this together and without us working together on this business will not exist as we know it. Our brothers and sisters in the Pacific will be living with us because they will have nowhere to live—David Seymour: Well what's wrong with that?ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: They have a right Mr Seymour to live in their own countries. We want to support them to do that. We will be facing catastrophic changes to our food chain absolutely catastrophic changes to our food chain—acidification. It will be catastrophic if we fail to act.Therefore I am absolutely delighted that we have taken the first step towards this legislation. We're moving in a way that is courageous. It will be difficult and I ask the members across the House and also those who are in the community to please like some of our members have said today participate in this process. We have four parts to this bill and most people have spoken about it to some extent although a few have gone off and talked about some really sort of side issues. One of the things that we know that is difficult for us is that approximately 48 percent of our emissions are from agriculture. We have roughly 40 percent from energy 6.1 percent from industrial processes and roughly 5 percent from our waste streams. We actually have some wins to make across all sorts of areas but as the member the Hon—I was going to say Simon Upton but I'm not actually going to quote Simon Upton—Scott Simpson has said to us when we visited and looked at what was happening in the UK what we discovered is yes we are going to have to be the leaders. Lithuania ourselves and Ireland are the only with the footprint that we have. We must be bold we must work in a way that is consistent with our particular framework our particular emissions picture and that is why I am absolutely delighted that we have codified and started to look at the way that we ourselves can make steps—small steps. But we're acting we're starting we're beginning a process of trying to turn around what is going to be a disaster if we do not make this change. Therefore I commend this bill to the House.
