Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: This announcement is important for a number of reasons, and has been over 15 years in the making. It's about fairness and underlines our Government's commitment to honouring the tremendous artistic skill and creativity of so many of our visual artists. It is part of our free-trade agreement with the UK and the EU, and places Aotearoa New Zealand alongside more than 80 other countries who now have resale royalty schemes, aligning with common international practice. My thanks go to all the proponents who have pushed for this and those who have started the journey toward where we are today, including the former Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage and the Associate Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage, the Rt Hon Helen Clark and the Hon Judith Tizard.
