van de Molen Tim; Rurawhe AdrianTIM VAN DE MOLEN (National—Waikato): Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker. It is fantastic to see that despite the Greens' concerns around privacy which we typically hear a lot about they have been able to see their way through to supporting this bill. It's great to see that because in reality those fears were unfounded and this bill was well justified in terms of the availability of data that it can collect for securing our borders. So look that's a typical approach we'd see and we also heard about the concern around Government agencies with excessive private data. Again that's scaremongering which we are very much used to hearing of from that party with their conspiracy theories and the likes. But in reality this piece of legislation is much more mundane than that might suggest.The previous speaker Golriz Ghahraman also alluded to ensuring that foreign companies pay their fair share of tax. Actually the previous Government was working through a piece of legislation in that place with regard to the Taxation (Neutralising Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) Bill that was put forward at that time to ensure those international corporates do pick up and pay their fair share as well.It is a pleasure to be here in the third reading of the Customs and Excise Bill which replaces the Customs and Excise Act 1996. The National Party has always supported—and did so ardently through the last Government—the work of the Customs Service to promote and protect trade and travel in the New Zealand context. Trade in particular is of significant importance to New Zealanders. We are a major trading nation. I'd just like to commend the now Government for being able to revise their previous stance and support the fine piece of legislation put forward by the previous Government the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Of course a couple of extra letters on the front of it may well indeed improve it in some minds but in reality for most New Zealanders we know that that piece of legislation is securing good trade opportunities and ensuring that the work that customs does as well is aligned with that.Some of the changes being reflected through this piece of legislation identify the fact that actually technology is evolving. We are continually moving with the times shifting. There are new modes of communicating new ways of transferring data and information and it's important that we maintain our ability to respond to that from a legislative perspective and that's in both a business sense and a criminal sense. We need to make sure that we do have access to searching electronic devices as appropriate. This bill helps to update some of those aspects of the Customs and Excise Act to enable appropriate action to be taken by customs.One of the other areas that I did want to touch on is that the bill brings in a new infringement scheme as well and that's really about improving efficiency and transparency. So it's extending some of the penalties to exporters as well rather than just importers to make sure that they are upholding—given our reliance on trade—the consistency of information being sent out to give our trading partners confidence in the information they are receiving from New Zealand.So look we've covered a lot of the aspects here. In reality this is a great piece of legislation. It makes some appropriate changes. Some of the concerns that were raised are unfounded and have been addressed well by the process this bill has followed through. I commend it to the House.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): This is a split call—five minutes. Priyanca Radhakrishnan.
