SpeechANGELA ROBERTS (Labour): It is a great pleasure to stand and take the final call on this first reading for the United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement Legislation Bill. I have taught economics; I have taught trade agreements in schools for a long time. We're often talking about those big numbers you know: increasing New Zealand exports up more than 50 percent increasing real GDP between $700 million and $1 billion saving $37 million per annum on tariff elimination; that is the stuff we have been talking about when we think about how good or how bad a trade deal might be for the last few decades.I'm so excited for the economics teachers who will be teaching about this deal in the future because what they'll be talking about is how progressive it is how actually what we are doing is talking about how inclusive it is how we're thinking and ensuring and locking in accountability around sustainability and trade that we want to make sure that our planet is a good place to be in a little while. It would be an exciting place to be an economics teacher in the future.We've heard about the big numbers and that they will happen very very soon and this deal is progressive and ambitious. It is a chance to maximise opportunities and minimise risks with global issues including environmental issues such as climate change. There are far-reaching environmental provisions in this deal. It's exciting stuff. It commits us alongside the UK to work together on those climate change commitments. It affirms our commitments to the Paris Agreement and preserves our right to regulate for environment and climate purposes. We heard concerns about those issues and I'm pleased to stand here and reassure members that this is a progressive and solid deal.I just want to I guess talk about the real impact of this different type of deal. Some say we shouldn't be global leaders in sustainable food and fibre because poor practice will simply slip in behind us and replace us in global markets. The clever thing about this progressive agreement is there's a bilateral commitment to global progress on sustainable development.Just a couple of different things: we've heard about the big stuff and I want to narrow in a bit. A particular industry we've heard about from our fabulous member from Tukituki is our fabulous wine industry. I just want to reflect on the grape growers and wine makers from Marlborough who have reflected on the fact that tariffs don't just come in numbers and dollar bills but actually through technical barriers. This agreement removes so many of those technical barriers and they are excited.I just want to finish by reflecting even more particularly in a more granular way on the impact of one little company and future of our export industry: the Raglan Food Co. Coconut-based yogurt—if you haven't tried it yet best you go out and get yourself some. They were recently celebrated as the supreme winners of the Primary Industries Good Employer Awards. They're not just local leaders they are national and global leaders. They are proudly carbon zero proudly certified B Corporation Toitū Envirocare—they are living wage employers; they contribute to their community in the sustainability and restoration of their local environment.This deal is for exporters like them. This is our future: for our exporters who are innovative and ambitious and for our children. This is a deal that is not just about taking advantage of the fact that we are the best in the world but we are the best for the world. I commend this bill to the House.
