Warren-Clark Angie; Rurawhe AdrianANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): The hyperbole—the disaster that is coming our way—is breathtaking. Let us just for one moment talk for a small moment about the discretion that our very able Police Force currently have. The discretion sits in law and also in operation—it is a normal process. Let us also look at what it should refer to—personal use. It is the personal use of drugs—the smallest amount of drugs that a person might be found with—in which this description applies. Let us not talk about these huge and amazing things. This is what the police do on a daily basis as we well know. This piece of legislation very clearly ensures that the police know that they have that ability to do that. So whether they are actually making a decision or not is based on what they always do but this makes it very clear.Let us go back to the purpose of this bill. The purpose of this bill is around the health of people. It is around a compassionate approach. It is important that we don't continue to make this huge issue about someone who is caught with a small amount of illegal substances. They are actually needing help as opposed to being prosecuted. So as a consequence I commend this Government and the Minister of Health for changing the conversation—which the Opposition has tried to switch back—from penalties and punishment to viewing addiction as a health issue.However this legislation proposes to get ahead of a very fast-moving drug manufacturer industry. Let's be clear—let's be clear about the harm that these drugs do. Let us be clear. None of us—none of us here in this House or across the country—believe that these are good things or things that we should continue to support. Interrupting the supply chain is so important and it is a really important part of this bill that we do that.Before I speak to the bill in detail I thought I would discuss from a perspective of someone who's worked on the front line around working with women who came to our Tauranga Women's Refuge and who had been impacted by synthetics. Remember the time when legal highs occurred and we had a plethora of men who switched from marijuana to synthetics? What happened was we had a floodgates situation occur. We had women flocking to refuge in abject fear—the paranoia that was around the poverty driven by the purchasing of these legal highs. Then of course it became illegal again and the addiction remained.We know that there has been purported to be about 55 deaths from this—this filth let's be honest—filth this disgusting and I guess soul-destroying drug. A scientist friend of mind told me that using this drug is like huffing flyspray. It's poison that's spread on weeds and it's pressed into drugs.Make no mistake while our Government is absolutely focused on enabling people to break their shackles of addiction we are very clear that people who profit from such misery must face those consequences and this bill therefore supports and does both. It's not a mismatch. It's not that we are not clear about this process. It is about on one hand a health response a well-being response and a response of compassion and addiction and on the other hand stopping the scourge that is manufacture import and supply. I commend this bill to the House.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): I call Matt King—five minutes.
