ANNA LORCK (Labour—Tukituki): I rise to speak on the Animal Welfare Amendment Bill, and I look back to the early to mid-1990s, when I was a rural reporter for the Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune—I was actually the agricultural editor—and I used to go out and cover the live export trade that was actually booming in Hawke's Bay at the time. They had massive feedlots out at Tikokino, and it was a pretty booming industry, but I can recall also then that there was a bit of controversy around it as well, because I used to get quite a few front pages. When I look back and I look to now, I think, really, the time has come when the banning of live ship exports of animals for breeding is coming to an end.
