GINNY ANDERSEN (Labour—Hutt South): This bill is about balancing the ledger for victims of sexual violence in the courtroom and the criminal justice system. We know for a fact that there are a number of sexual violence incidents in New Zealand that go unreported every year. We know that there are even more that go on that are not prosecuted, and, after that, there are even more that do not go through to conviction. That, in whole, makes our justice system very difficult for someone standing in the courtroom when a rape or other sexual violence offence has occurred.
