Swarbrick Chlöe; Tolley AnneCHLÖE SWARBRICK (Green): Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. I would like to congratulate you in my first opportunity to do so subsequent to my maiden speech. It's quite a funny contrast to my maiden speech being able to reply to give my input on behalf of the Green Party on this bill and I'd like to remedy the understanding that Jami-Lee Ross has about the Government's approach and its confidence and supply partner's approach to this bill. We absolutely do take it very seriously and we believe that it could be given the robust discussion that New Zealanders expect from this House.So on that point—talking about this being my first speech in this House in this first reading—it's quite a contrast you know coming in quite idealistic wanting to change the world and wanting to tackle all the big issues and being presented with a relatively non-controversial piece of legislation here in the form of this bill. So the Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) is obviously a pretty weighty piece of legislation. I think that the process for this bill also has to be commended. There was quite due cross-party consensus and a lot of that working together that I think a lot of New Zealanders also want to see both inside this House—that collegial manner that I think is so important to actually getting things done.In referring to different clauses in this bill in Part 1 we've got the Animal Welfare Act 1999. Just to echo the sentiments of Tracey Martin this is something that we are absolutely stoked as the Green Party to be supporting because this here is obviously something that relates to the mission of Eugenie Sage as Minister of Conservation to get New Zealand predator-free by 2050. But as the Green Party we want to make sure that we go about doing that in as humane a manner as possible. It's not these pests' fault that they are in New Zealand and we wouldn't like to see them suffer for any longer than is necessary so we're glad to see that those traps will be inspected within 12 hours after sunrise on each day that the trap remains set.If I can also draw the members'—all of the members in this House—attention to Part 22 on the Policing Act 2008. Clause 67 amends section 41 of the Policing Act 2008 which is the section on unclaimed property. We as the Green Party are also very happy to be supporting this because it is moving away from simply disposing of property—waste; not great—to giving away property. This is property that has no monetary value or has only negligible monetary value or property that is not appropriate or practicable to sell and as the Green Party we are obviously as keen as possible on diverting things away from being waste and on recycling.So to leave it there on that point this is a relatively uncontroversial bill. I would love to see the Opposition stand and make their thoughts known and participate fully freely frankly in the democratic process as I believe all of us in this House were elected to do. This bill is something I may mention that the National Party initially instigated so it'd be great to hear their reasons for supporting—Andrew Bayly: Let us have a go. Let us have a go. Come on. Let us have a go Chlӧe.CHLÖE SWARBRICK: —this bill and for making it happen. Please do have a go.Marama Davidson: Have a go—have a go.CHLÖE SWARBRICK: Have your go. Thanks guys.Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER: I call the honourable Stuart Smith.
