GOLRIZ GHAHRAMAN (Green): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise to take a short call on this bill, given its lack of substance and its administrative purpose, this afternoon. The Green Party position is very well-known and it has been traversed by members from across the House this afternoon, even in this very debate. We see the right to vote as a fundamental human right, in agreeance with the New Zealand High Court, the Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court, and the Waitangi Tribunal. We see it as an obligation of Government to ensure that all basic human rights are provided to us across this land, not based on our race, religion, gender identity, marital status, or any other moral judgment of the Government of the day. That has always been our position. That is in my strengthening democracy member's bill, which stands for universal restoration of the voting rights for all people in our prisons, among other things, and we were really happy and proud to see that a part of that member's bill was adopted by the Minister of Justice and the House last week. So that's all been very well traversed.
