Ross Jami-LeeJAMI-LEE ROSS (National—Botany): I am pleased to support the third reading of this bill. Much of this bill is around safety and it is around public safety and ensuring that the land transport legislation works better for New Zealanders. We have already seen debated in the House the changes that are within this bill around alcohol interlocks which will ensure that there are greater penalties and greater use of alcohol interlocks for those who are repeat drink-drivers. There are also the clauses in here around fleeing drivers. I think the House needs to give Stuart Smith the MP for Kaikōura some credit for that idea coming through and ending up in the legislation.I want to reply to Peeni Henare a little bit just briefly and talk to the change that went through on Tuesday night. I am talking about Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) 350 which I put forward. That was around the washing of vehicles—typically known as window washers. I did not speak to the SOP during the Committee stage but I do want to say thanks to the Committee for allowing that to go through. It went through without dissent on Tuesday night.The reason why I put forward that SOP was to go along with the theme of this bill which is around ensuring greater safety for the public with the land transport legislation. Peeni Henare raises some very good points. There is a lot of activity particularly during summer months with window washers who are threatening harassing and intimidating to members of the public. Police in my local area have spoken to me and other local MPs about their concerns that they did not have sufficient tools to be able to tackle the issue of window washers.The council has attempted to deal with them by way of a by-law. However for a council to deal with them using a by-law it had to take prosecutions through the court. That took a lot of time—many months—and it cost the ratepayer a lot of money as well. A solution was suggested which was to see that land transport legislation include it as an offence around window washing. So the SOP inserted into the bill new rule 11.6A: Washing of vehicles. A pedestrian must not wash or offer to wash a vehicle or part of a vehicle on a road unless the vehicle is legally parked." Once this bill goes through the third reading this change will effectively make window washing an unlawful activity. It will give police a tool that they can use in their tool box to enforce an issue on the roads. I take Peeni Henare's view around resourcing and capacity. The issue is that police know there is a lot of activity on intersections with window washers that turns into other crimes where people have been attacked where people have been subjected to robberies around their businesses and where young children have seen themselves attacked and have had their bikes or bags stolen. If we can give police a tool so that they can move those window washers on from problem intersections a tool whereby they can ensure that their prevention-first approach to policing can be applied in this case then we can actually keep the public safer. In fact a window washer himself was bowled over a couple of months ago on Great South Road in Tāmaki-makau-rau. That window washer ended up in hospital because he was running in and out of traffic and he got injured. From a public safety perspective I was pleased to put forward that SOP and I am pleased to see it now inserted into this bill and I look forward to the bill's third reading very soon."
