Hon DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East): Thank you, Madam Speaker. It's with great pleasure that I speak in support of the Racing Industry Bill in the second reading. As a former racing Minister, I only had a few months in that role, and there wasn't really time to enable us to make the changes that were needed within the industry. I was just going to congratulate the New Zealand First Minister at this time, Winston Peters, who has done a fantastic job over many years of being an advocate for the racing industry and has made this bill go through Parliament. So I just want to thank him for actually doing this, because on behalf of the industry, it has been something that's been looked forward to for a long time.
