Eagle PaulPAUL EAGLE (Labour—Rongotai): Thank you Madam Assistant Speaker. It's a pleasure to be taking a call on this bill. I think my colleague Michael Wood was trying to explain to us that the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs the Hon Kris Faafoi is probably the most handsome Minister in the House—I think that's what you were trying to say—and the only MP who doesn't want or need to go on Dancing with the Stars. So I'm certainly supportive and privileged to be talking this evening.We heard a rather miserable speech. There's been quite a lot of misery. I came here to the House quite excited but I hear misery. The member from Hamilton East David Bennett who's now departed—I mean Waikato is a happy part of New Zealand; I can't believe things are so miserable up there—talked about stopping this and stopping that and not wanting to give more power here and there and I thought Poor David this must be a miserable life in Hamilton—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): Order! Please refer to members by their full names. Thank you.PAUL EAGLE: Absolutely—sorry Madam Assistant Speaker. But look what we've heard tonight is that this is a common-sense bill and there should be a bipartisan approach because after all what we want to start doing and what we are doing is protecting New Zealand consumers. I'm really happy to see and happy to support the Minister's commitment to supporting a more competitive confident and productive business environment that will really deliver a lot more positive outcomes for New Zealanders.When you look at the bill itself—something that's been missing from lots of speeches; we've talked about lots of hoo-ha but not really the bill itself—there are three parts there.Andrew Bayly: That's right. Let's hear it from you.PAUL EAGLE: There are—well someone has to bring common sense and let's just carefully consider things here. There are three parts. One is to make amendments to the airports regulatory regime in Part 4 of the Commerce Act. I am the member for the electorate where we have Wellington Airport. I actually have two airports—not many other electorates could boast that: a small international airport on the Chatham Islands as the honourable—Hon Christopher Finlayson: Which needs to be properly funded.PAUL EAGLE: That needs to be properly funded—thank you the Hon Christopher Finlayson.Hon Christopher Finlayson: I got them the wharf; you get them the airport.PAUL EAGLE: We'll get you the airport—the "Finlayson Memorial Airport" maybe. Secondly introduce a—Hon Christopher Finlayson: I like you Paul.PAUL EAGLE: Ha ha!—competition studies market studies regime; and number three make changes to the alternative enforcement mechanisms available to the Commerce Commission that great institution—as the member for Hamilton East would attest to.So in this package there'll be a range of amendments introduced that signal the Government is committed to a competition system and that the commission itself the Commerce Commission has the tools it needs to as I said get good tools to protect New Zealand consumers.If I look at the airports regulation in the time that I have left a short time—look these were carried out by a review by the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment officials some three years ago now if not four years ago between 2014 and 2016. It looked at the effectiveness of the information disclosure regime. And look it was largely working. The officials came back and said there was no compelling case to move the airports to something that was more heavily regulated so no need—sorry there wasn't a compelling case for a more heavy-handed negotiate arbitrate regime. However one thing the report did say is that the officials were concerned that there was no credible threat of further regulation in the Act. If the current regime is no longer effective it could strain the market power of the regulated airports.I commend this bill to the House and I hope—Andrew Bayly: What about the detail?PAUL EAGLE: They say the devil is in the detail but the devil actually sits opposite me instead. So I commend the bill to the House. Thank you."
