GINNY ANDERSEN (Labour): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Thank you for the opportunity for speaking on this member's bill today. I'd like to acknowledge the member Darroch Ball for bringing this bill to the House. I know that in doing that, by bringing this bill, there was the good intent of really representing the best interests of our first responders in New Zealand. That was incredibly apparent to the Justice Committee when he appeared before us and spelt out the reasons why this bill had been drafted.
