This is an issue that has dogged Stewart Islanders and operators, one that New Zealand First campaigned on in 2017, and one that has been brought to the attention of Labour and the Greens. The smaller communities, such as Stewart Island and Bluff, that I represent, should not go unnoticed, and, even more so, the threats that they face should be taken seriously. This is a time when parties should come together to send a practical bill which seeks to overcome a conflict to select committee. I am confident that this bill can provide a win for all of those involved. I take this opportunity to thank representatives from PauaMAC5, tourism, and the operators; Stewart Island locals; and department staff for their advocacy relating to this issue. It is one that I have taken seriously in my time as member for Invercargill, and I believe wholeheartedly that this is the best course of action to resolve this issue. I commend this bill to the House.
