Kanongata'a-Suisuiki AnahilaANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI (Labour): It's a privilege to take a call on the Dairy Industry Restructuring Amendment Bill (No 2). I want to acknowledge the importance of the dairy industry in terms of our reputation as a reputable export nation. Recently I've just returned from the Asia Pacific Parliamentary Forum which was the delegation led by Jonathan Young and joining Jonathan Young were Mark Patterson and myself. I'm talking about this because they made stunning speeches internationally in Vietnam about New Zealand's contribution to economic development in terms of the primary industry and it is important to note that whilst we in the House might have differing ideas when we represented the nation in the Asia Pacific Parliamentary Forum we were one. We were one and when we did speak we spoke on matters regarding Aotearoa New Zealand. We were proud to talk about the great things that are happening here. So I want to acknowledge the dairy industry and its importance in terms of its contribution to the well-being of our nation.I've chosen to make a call on this—I think the member maybe three members ago spoke about how it is a small technicality. He talked about—and I want to thank the Minister for putting clarification on—the small technicality but I put it to the House that if the dairy industry is important to the nation to our growth then anything to do with the dairy industry is not small. Every discussion that we have on the dairy industry is not small. I've heard members speak about the importance of preserving the status quo and one thing that comes with preserving the status quo is the confidence and security—confidence and security not just for the farmers themselves but the rest of New Zealand. And in doing this process in terms of talking in the House about the dairy industry it also educates parts of the country or members of the public and I put myself in those in terms of educating myself in terms of the dairy industry.I want to support this bill because it's important that time is allowed. Some people might say 12 months is a long time but if you take out the public holidays and the weekends I think time is to allow certainty—if we are seriously looking at the sector to ensure certainty in the market and we as a country and as a Government are responsible for making sure that we provide time by conducting a review that runs side by side in terms of this legislation.I want to also support what others have said—that the legislation has been here since 2015 and we're just talking about it now. Some members of the Opposition—I sat through yesterday and I've listened to honourable members speak on this subject and talk about their expertise in terms of their knowledge in the farming industry and most of the people that spoke on that were accountants. My background is social work and people might question Well what does she know about the dairy industry?" Well I started my talk about the importance of New Zealand's contribution to the world economy and the importance of that being transparent and about keeping the status quo while the review is being conducted. It is because we want confidence and security—not just for our farmers but worldwide—we want to make sure that things—[Time expired]"
