Hon EUGENIE SAGE (Green): Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker; thank you. The Green Party is pleased to support the Natural Hazards Insurance Bill. At 89 pages, it's reasonably complex and technical, and it replaces the Earthquake Commission Act 1993. Having lived through the Canterbury earthquake series, this bill seeks to learn the lessons, takes on board quite a number of the recommendations—around 10—from the very thoughtful and accessible report that Dame Silvia Cartwright did in her inquiry into the whole way the Earthquake Commission (EQC) had operated, and also the 2015 public consultation that was done then. So there's been a really good basis of policy analysis and development to come to the House with this bill.
