But, first, I do want to hold at the centre of this debate the intention of us all across this House, and in particular the Minister of Police, who's brought the bill to the House, because I know that we all do care deeply about the welfare of children in Aotearoa New Zealand and we do wholeheartedly hope to address the absolute plague of child sex offending, which we know occurs in very, very high rates, and that at any rate would be unacceptable in our nation. We do want to protect children, and I would suggest that that should be done through legislation and lawmaking that is evidence based, that we know will be effective, and that we know will not undermine the legitimacy of the lawmaking process in the way that legislation like this does, unfortunately, do.
