KIERAN McANULTY (Labour): As the only bookmaker ever to have been elected to this House, it is a great day to stand here and support this bill—a bill that will save the industry, or certainly take successive steps towards doing so. It was needed. It is a long time coming. It should have happened in the previous Government, but here we are today. I echo the comments of those who acknowledge the work of the Transport and Infrastructure Committee. I make one point to counter the claims of the Opposition benches: they cannot have made substantive changes by themselves, because they do not have a majority. What this demonstrates is that the select committee worked collaboratively. I think the National Party would have served themselves and served the racing industry better if they told that story of collaboration, because this is an important industry for the country and it is an industry that is recognised by all parties in this Parliament. Today is a good day. I'm pleased to see this bill continue on to the next stage.
