GEORGINA BEYER (Labour): I am pleased to take a brief call on the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Amendment Bill. I think this is a fantastic bill to support, and so soon after the first reading yesterday of New Zealand First's Social Security (Entitlement Cards) Amendment Bill, which also honoured elderly people in this country. I chair the Social Services Committee, and I take on board the comments from the member who just resumed her seat, Kate Wilkinson. I am certain that with the talent that lies around that table—particularly on the Labour side—the bill will be scrutinised most appropriately and well by all involved in that process. Therefore, I shall not tarry any longer. I say only that I hope support is found fully around the House.
