CHRIS PENK (National—Kaipara ki Mahurangi): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Thanks for the opportunity to speak to the Electoral Amendment Bill. Let me start off where the previous contributor finished, and, on a relatively bipartisan note, we've said that we think that it it's helpful for the Government to allow those who've been stranded overseas for reasons with which we're all familiar to be able to exercise their vote in the next general election, notwithstanding that they are outside the time frames that would otherwise apply to be required to be in New Zealand for those periods of time, according to whether they're citizens or permanent residents. I actually commented on that very issue in a report that I wrote in my capacity as shadow Attorney-General on the bigger question about managed isolation and quarantine, and the inability of New Zealanders to exercise their right under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act to return to this country and it is an issue that we prosecuted, I think, on this side of the House very diligently on behalf of those overseas-based Kiwis, including through my friend and colleague Mr Chris Bishop as our spokesperson in that space.
