RICARDO MENÉNDEZ MARCH (Green): Kia ora, Madam Speaker. Thank you. It's a real pleasure to speak about the Land Transport (Clean Vehicles) Amendment Bill, and it's been a while since I've been here; so it's nice to warm up and get some practice. I would like to start off by acknowledging the chair of the Transport and Infrastructure Committee, Greg O'Connor, who has shepherded this bill, but also particularly my colleague Julie Anne Genter, who has been integral in driving this work, and who has not only been championing the policies that are in this bill but who has been advocating for many, many years for a reduction in our emissions within transport, acknowledging that, particularly in Aotearoa, this is a massive source of emissions and we need to be ambitious in the legislation that we're introducing so that we will ensure that we have a liveable planet and that we provide New Zealanders with the options that they require to move around.
