Tuiono TeanauTEANAU TUIONO (Green): Holy quinoa! I've been sitting in the House for a few hours now listening to bills that were solutions looking for problems and it's finally good to hear a bill that has found a solution. So I would like to congratulate the member for Whanganui Stephanie Lewis who lives right next door to me actually—I'm in the rural Manawatū—and it's great to see that you've had the opportunity to pull this bill out of the ballot. Also I want to acknowledge our mate and my good mate Hon Kiritapu Allan. She might be watching tonight as well. There's probably not that much stuff on the telly and nothing is more riveting than Parliament TV. I wish her a speedy recovery and hope she gets back into the House soon because I know she's got heaps of energy for our rural communities and our provinces as well. This bill the Biosecurity (Information for Incoming Passengers) Amendment Bill would amend the Biosecurity Act 1993 to require that passengers on craft arriving in Aotearoa are provided with biosecurity information via writing and audiovisual recording. This would essentially mean airlines and ship operators would need to show a video and hand out a form advising passengers of their obligations before landing. To be honest I actually thought we were already doing this but I think I'm like a lot of the members in the House who actually haven't gone anywhere for a very very long time and don't really remember what the little messages are on the plane as well. So it's good to see some common sense and some practical solutions being advocated for in the House. We like to take a precautionary approach in the Greens particularly when we think about our farming and fibre sector as well. I'm also mindful of the environmental sector as well in making sure that people when they land here scrub their shoes before they get anywhere near our forests. I'm very mindful of issues like kauri dieback disease and the sorts of things that the member was describing earlier around fruit flies and so on and so forth so making sure that we stop those things at the border is incredibly incredibly important. We think that providing passengers with biosecurity information before arrival would increase awareness of biosecurity risks which is consistent with a precautionary approach and that's a great thing to see. Something that I hope the select committee could focus on is around the issue around accessibility—so when the videos are playing on the screens and so on and so forth what sorts of languages that will need to be had while that's playing as well. I'm also mindful of the need for having it in Braille and making sure that our whānau turi are able to understand those things as well so maybe this could be handled in terms of the legislation or possibly something in the regulations. So when this bill does come before the Primary Production Committee that is hopefully something that they can pick up as well to make sure that when folks get here they can all understand—regardless of their situation—about the biosecurity information that we need for them to take. So this is a very short call for me. I'm really pleased to support this bill and the Greens commend this bill to the House. Thank you.
