GINNY ANDERSEN (Labour—Hutt South): Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I stand and appreciate the opportunity to speak on this bill as the chair of the Justice Committee and after hearing all of the submitters who came forward to share their views on this particular piece of legislation. I think anybody in this House today who has either done constituent work or has known somebody who's been through the Family Court process will know that it can be a particularly harrowing experience and that the challenge that lies before any person that goes through the Family Court process during, no doubt usually, a relationship breakdown is to be a big enough person to put the needs of a child, or your children, before your own. At the time when a relationship has broken down, emotions and feelings can be particularly raw, and it is sometimes processes that exacerbate those tensions and stop us from focusing on putting the needs of children first.
