Swarbrick ChlöeCHLÖE SWARBRICK (Green—Auckland Central): E te Māngai tēnā koe. Tēnā koutou e te Whare. As has been acknowledged by many of those who've risen to speak tonight before me this is a pretty simple and practical piece of legislation in that it seeks to undertake particularly as outlined by many colleagues the new position of the coronial associate who is able to take forward some of that more straightforward work in this space. It is also enabling coroners to hold coronial inquiries solely in the chambers where appropriate and where a full inquest in court is not needed and enabling of course written findings to be issued stating cause of death only and not necessarily the circumstances where they consider that there is no public interest in making findings as to the broader circumstances as well as enabling the recording of cause of death as ascertained natural causes" when no further investigation or inquiry is necessary which better reflects current practice. To that effect of course the Greens support this legislation as people would have heard throughout the other speeches in the other stages of this bill tonight.One of the core things though that I did want to touch on—because of course it's not contained within this legislation. I was just talking to my colleague Nicole McKee on the other side of the political spectrum. We found ourselves actually on Budget night last year working through a process—and I also want to acknowledge our members from the National Party who are also engaged in this process—in what it might look like to provide greater resourcing and increase in coronial numbers particularly potentially the likes of a ratio of coroners to head a population because if I recall correctly I believe that we're increasing the numbers by two or—Chris Penk: Yeah.CHLÖE SWARBRICK: —five or so? Two? Chris Penk: Two—the fulltime-equivalent. CHLÖE SWARBRICK: I'm being aided by the member Chris Penk—two. But that of course puts us in a situation where per that Budget night legislation we will continue having to amend the primary legislation as much as we want to continue increasing those numbers of coroners and therefore the resourcing for them. So again a bit of another practical opportunity to increase the efficacy and the resourcing of the system unfortunately missed. But none the less I'm putting that point on the record hoping that moving forward with the consensus that we're finding in the Chamber tonight there is an opportunity for us to do something like that moving forward because this is something which touches the lives and obviously—very obviously—the deaths of many New Zealanders.To that effect I wanted to acknowledge Corinda Taylor and the Life Matters Suicide Prevention Trust from down South in Dunedin. I first had the privilege of meeting them several years ago in one of my first years here in this place when they brought a petition to Parliament asking for a fairer more equitable and more effective coronial system that didn't leave as another colleague was referencing before many bereaved families—particularly suicide-bereaved families—in a situation where they were waiting at times years and feeling as though they themselves were being treated as though they were under suspicion throughout those processes. So just putting that on the record that this is one step towards that justice.Also acknowledging the chronology and history of how we got to this place it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the process as undertaken in former iterations of this Parliament such as in the 2018 tabled select committee inquiry at I believe the Māori Affairs Committee. This was initially instigated by our former co-leader Metiria Turei then picked up by Marama Davidson with the Government then going on to accept a number of the recommendations particularly around supporting grieving whānau accessing and managing the deceased bodies of their loved ones.I commend this bill to the House but I've got to say there's more mahi to do. So I'm hoping that with the consensus as I said before that we've found in the House tonight we can pick up once again those debates and discussions that we had on Budget night at the beginning of last year and continue to improve the system and the processes for all moving forward. Kia ora."
