Hon Aupito WILLIAM SIO (Minister for Pacific Peoples): I want to acknowledge the leadership of the Rt Hon Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the role that he plays on behalf of New Zealand, not only throughout the Pacific region but globally, and commend him for moving the International Crimes and International Criminal Court Act 2000 quickly at its third reading. This is evidence of the Government’s quick action on updating our international commitment and obligations and is further evidence of what good governance looks like. It also demonstrates what good political leadership looks like, and I commend this bill to the House.
