SIMON WATTS (National—North Shore): I rise on behalf of National as their member of Parliament for North Shore on the Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System and Children and Young People's Commission Bill, first reading. As we have heard from fellow speakers this evening, National support this bill. We support this bill through the select committee, which is an important process within this Parliament, for this bill to be considered in order to be able to improve this bill considerably through that process. We've heard here this evening there are some 5,000 children that are within the care of the system. These are young, vulnerable children. These are children that have significant challenges in their life and their upbringing, and the importance of the State providing that protection for those young individuals—the future of individuals that will make a significant contribution in this country is so very important.
