BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise on behalf of the ACT Party in support of the second reading of the Drug and Substance Checking Legislation Bill (No 2). I'm going to keep my speech short and fairly simple, because there are clearly two arguments, one in favour and one against this particular type of law change. On the one hand, we've heard from people who are saying that changing the status quo will increase risk and increase drug harm in society because there might be young people who weren't going to take drugs who will now take drugs, knowing that they can check what the substance in them is. The other argument is that this will reduce adverse effects and reduce drug harm because people will make an informed choice, knowing what is in the drug that they'll be taking. I think there are merits to both of those types of arguments, but the ACT Party says our starting point for this law should be asking the question of: should Parliament prohibit New Zealanders voluntarily helping each other? I don't believe that it should. ACT says that we should never stop people voluntarily helping each other.
