Dr EMILY HENDERSON (Labour—Whangārei): Kia ora e te Māngai o te Whare. I rise with great enthusiasm, possibly even equal to the enthusiasm of my colleague Mr Bridges, to speak on this bill tonight, because this is a really important piece of legislation. There is nothing more important than the separation of powers and the fact that there are people out there in the world holding the people in this room to account and the people in the executive to account. There is nothing more important than the independence of the judiciary in the operation of our democracy, or at least it's at least as important as the other things that hold our democracy together.
