Dr EMILY HENDERSON (Labour—Whangārei) (remote): Kia ora, Mr Speaker. While not a member of the Governance and Administration Committee, as an ex-academic researcher and full nerd, I feel inspired by this bill to start this closing submission with the opening words of literature's greatest love story: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that any policy maker in possession of a great social issue will be in want of data and statistics." Conversely, to proceed without sufficient data and statistics is to risk ineffective or even counter-productive policy and legislation. Evidence is important.
