Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE (National): Can I begin, firstly, by thanking the chief Government whip for his indulgence in allowing me to take one of the Labour calls in this debate. The reason I asked for that was because, while the bill is in the name of Simon Watts, I actually wrote it, and there's been a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding about what are the intent and the purpose of the bill and what the intent behind it is. So I'll take the opportunity to set out the circumstances that led to my drafting the bill and then address some of the issues that have been raised by members.
