TODD MULLER (National—Bay of Plenty): Thank you, Madam Speaker, and it's a great pleasure to rise and say a few words on the Maritime Powers Bill this afternoon, at our third reading. And can I acknowledge, at the outset, the considered response from the Minister in her legislative statement outlining, I think, a fair assessment of the points of contention that existed around the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee as they reflected on the detail of this bill. I did not sit in the committee but have had conversations with those who have, and it became very clear that there was pretty strong support around the table for the changes that were suggested in the first reading, particularly creating a jurisdiction over any ship in international or foreign waters and allowing, essentially, New Zealand to apply its territorial law in its exclusive economic zone. Where it became pretty easy to agree was the role of enforcement officers such as police and customs officers. Where it became more difficult was in the space of the Department of Conservation rangers and endangered species officers.
