Kanongata'a-Suisuiki AnahilaANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI (Labour): Meitaki maata. Thank you Madam Assistant Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank the member for Hutt South who was then a list MP Chris Bishop for the opportunity to learn. It's my first time speaking in a third reading.The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act gives us rights as New Zealanders about how we conduct ourselves in this country and there's a section there that I like. I like the fact that it talks about rights of minorities and that a person who belongs to an ethnic or religious minority can enjoy the use of such language in this country. What I liked about what the member Chris Bishop said—I know him because he sits there and he's usually very vocal but he's not here today. He's not here. I want to commend him because I like what he said that it is a small but useful change—small but useful.So I refer to the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act which talks about minorities using language—not that I think the Tongan language is any minority in Tonga but it may be here. It reminds me—in my role as a member of the Tongan Language Year Committee—of a proverb called Si'i pe kae ha. It talks about small but significant". This is small and useful. Why do I think that it's small and useful? I think if you didn't identify this gap it then starts the beginning of the erosion of our freedom of speech. Even though it is small it's an indication that in this country—in New Zealand—that if we find a gap that needs to be corrected then we should correct it.Now I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the Film and Literature Board of Review for their responsibility. They are appointed as I have learnt by the Minister of Internal Affairs and if we look at those who are appointed to boards there's lots of discussions about their qualifications and the merits of one to be on a board. I didn't go as far as finding who the members are but I hope that it was covered by all our diversity as was spoken about before by what diversity looks like in this House.I also want to thank as a parent and as a grandparent all the submitters. I know they have been spoken about before but I think there's merit in saying their names: Family First New Zealand Shane Campbell the Society for the Promotion of Community Standards Inc. and the Office of Film and Literature Classification. The reason why that is is because I'm satisfied as a parent that there are groups out there that believe in their belief so much that they make time to have their voices heard. So I want to thank those submitters.There have been comments about the esteemed 10 people on this board and I just want to acknowledge the members of the then Justice and Electoral Committee. The 10 six who are not here today—people may say it's small and insignificant but actually they had a significant role in correcting this gap. As I said before if we let things go it's like a broken window. The window breaks and then you move on to the door and if we don't fix that it will just continue to break. So for me this is about the erosion of our freedom of rights in this country and the erosion of freedom of speech and I commend the select committee for their wise judgment in hearing out the voices of New Zealand that were represented by these groups that I have referred to.I want to commend the member. I know that he's not here today but sometimes when he interjects in this House—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): Excuse me. I just need to remind the member that you cannot refer to a member who is not present in the House.ANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI: OK. Madam Assistant Speaker I want to seek leave to apologise as it's my first time in speaking in a third reading.I want to acknowledge the wise ideas that have come through in this House. As a new member in this House I'm confident that we are able to identify gaps—small for some but for me very significant—and address them and give flexibility to those people that have been empowered by the Minister to make decisions on behalf of all of us. I commend this bill to the House. Malo."
