In 2014, a man was convicted and sent to jail for five months for shining a laser at a rescue helicopter. This is what this bill does—this bill is about making New Zealand safer. Put yourself in an aeroplane, hundreds of passengers on board, you've got highly trained pilots coming in to land, what do you think it would be like having some idiot on the ground point a laser at you? We know from listening to pilots that it can cause temporary blindness—some have reported having to lie down in the cockpit. We've heard from eye surgeons that it can burn people's eyes. We heard from more pilots that it can cause headaches; some have had to, coming into land, abort to take off again.
