ANDREW BAYLY (National—Hunua): Thank you, Madam Speaker. It's a pleasure to be talking on the Racing Industry Bill. I think, as we all know, the bill was originally introduced by the Minister for Racing back in December 2019, and followed a very well-considered report prepared by John Messara, who has played an instrumental role in reforming the Australian racing industry. He came to New Zealand and spent some time looking at the New Zealand industry, which, unfortunately, over time has been going backwards. His wide-ranging report focused on a whole range of issues, from governance issues right through to the ownership of tracks; also just how things are done here in New Zealand, particularly the betting arrangements.
