Dr DEBORAH RUSSELL (Labour—New Lynn): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to speak in support of the Arms Legislation Bill, and I wish to begin my speech with thanks. Thanks to the members of the Finance and Expenditure Committee, who worked hard on this bill, including many of the members of the Opposition, who engaged very constructively with it, but especially the members of the Government. I'd like to thank the submitters who put in submissions—all 3,527 of them—and I would especially like to thank the 381 submitters that we heard in person.
