National supports this bill because it's a very sensible bill. It's looking for efficiency. It's looking to save time. It's looking to save money. It's looking to reduce duplication, and to produce better outcomes. Those listening could be forgiven for thinking the Labour Government has turned over a new leaf, because being sensible, looking for efficiencies, saving time and money, and looking for better outcomes has not been a feature of this Labour Government. But before we get overly excited about this turning over of a leaf, I should mention that it actually was the EPA that initiated these changes and initiated this bill. The EPA understood that it's in everyone's best interests that our hazard classifications are accurate and up to date. The EPA realised that to simplify the process to update the hazard classification of substances and the corresponding controls based on information from international regulators was a good thing to do. The EPA realised that they should try and gain greater efficiency to our assessment and reassessment processes for hazardous substances.
