Hon SCOTT SIMPSON (National—Coromandel): Thank you, Madam Speaker. This is an interesting bill to be discussing in its second reading, given the post-COVID environment that we find ourselves in. I want to acknowledge Minister James Shaw for a typically thoughtful and considered speech, and we appreciate that from the Opposition benches, because, as became apparent during the passing of the zero carbon Act, I think that there is broad consensus across this parliamentary Chamber on the direction of travel in terms of climate change initiatives and climate change direction.
