Hon SIMON BRIDGES (National—Tauranga): Thank you, Mr Chair. I just want to make a small number of remarks and then ask the Minister a question. I just would agree with the Minister—indeed, something I said at the second reading. It was a thorough process at select committee. I don't accept the criticism we see from parties to my left about that. It wasn't rushed and much of what happened in the committee process was in fact unanimous. And so it does—and I'm not seeking to be overly political here, but it does seem strange that there's now opposition to this bill. Certainly National isn't opposing it. We support it fulsomely. We did at first reading, we did at the committee process; indeed, we sought to strengthen it and I think we've achieved that in some regards. That's because we take, like the Government of the day, the obligation to keep New Zealanders safe—the first obligation really of any Government—very seriously.
