Bennett GlenGLEN BENNETT (Labour—New Plymouth): Kia ora Mr Speaker. Thank you for allowing me to take a call on Todd Muller's bill the Sunscreen (Product Safety Standard) Bill. Now I want to talk this evening on a couple of points. Firstly and my colleague Jamie Strange mentioned it earlier around the changing understanding of the impacts of the sun and our response to that. I also want to talk tonight about why I want to support this bill through to select committee and the opportunity not to waste time but to gain knowledge and understanding around this important issue. And thirdly I want to talk about the summer of '99—not '69. I know for some of you across the other side of the room that's their favourite song but we want to talk about the summer of '99. But I'll get to that very shortly. Bryan Adams thank you very much! I know him well!Now I think back to the mid- to late-70s. My mother was a keen sunbather. I remember the coconut oil smells and all the sorts of things where you were pretty much putting stuff on your body to make you look browner and look more beautiful evidently which wasn't necessary at all. But we've changed obviously with the ozone layer with our UV radiation issues. I remember when SPF 4 was it. And if you were SPF 8 or more you were just like this kind of lightweight who obviously had some terrible skin condition! So it's changed a lot thankfully and I'm really grateful that SPF 50 is now just quite normal to take home or to take to the beach and you're not judged whatsoever. But it's changed and I'm really surprised to be honest that Consumer New Zealand had obviously done those studies and around five out of those 10 sunscreens actually weren't as effective or impactful as they should be. So we've changed; we've come a long way. SPF 4 is long gone and we need to ensure that SPF 50-plus is just the norm for our society.Secondly I support the bill to select committee because I want to hear the views of the public. I want to hear people's lived experiences. I want to hear from professionals and what's important there. Because I want to listen and I enjoy listening and understanding and gaining more knowledge in my kete than I already have. And as Jamie Strange said earlier we want to progress regulation of sunscreen products as part obviously of the Therapeutic Products Bill but I am really keen that we can critique and listen and understand in this space which I'm sure everyone in this House wants to do.Finally I want to take us back to the summer of 1999. Y2K was on the horizon but also a beautiful Australian who I will be able to visit in a few weeks released a song. His name is Baz Luhrmann a wonderful opera writer and also obviously created some amazing films. Do we remember the sunscreen song? No? Come on!Hon Members: Sing it!GLEN BENNETT: I was hoping that we would. Well it's kind of—it's a spoken word. I'm not sure what the rules of the House are but it begins—and I'm sure because it hit the New Zealand charts and driving around actually Todd Muller's electorate in that summer I remember listening to the song time and time again. The words begin like this: Wear sunscreen / If I could offer you one piece of advice for your future sunscreen would be it / The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists / Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now"—drop the beat! OK people don't remember it but it's an amazing song. Please go back. But if I could offer you one piece of advice sunscreen would be it and this evening I am here to support this piece of legislation going through to select committee so that I can listen that I can learn more and I can ensure that people around our nation are protected from the unfortunate impacts the sun has on us particularly down here in Aotearoa New Zealand.So in closing our world is changing—our understanding of the sun and how we respond to it. I support this bill to select committee and don't forget that summer of '99. If I could offer you one piece of advice sunscreen would be it. Kia ora Mr Speaker."
