Bennett David: Taxation (KiwiSaver HomeStart and Remedial Matters) Bill — First ReadingText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeBennett David: Taxation (KiwiSaver HomeStart and Remedial Matters) Bill — First Reading[Sitting date: 04 December 2014. Volume:702;Page:1185. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East):It is great to be able to support this bill. First of all it is a little bit hard to look at a gift horse in the mouth and not take it up. Grant Robertson said he was a little surprised at becoming the finance spokesperson for Labour and that last speech of his tells you why. There was no economics in it there was no understanding of what supply and demand means and there was nothing in it that would show that there is an intellectual or smart economic mind on that side of the House. Housing is dear to the Labour Party because “Chippy” is still yet to buy his first house and Labour will be looking at a way for him to do that. In the end Grant Robertson had to resort to using his leader Andrew Little as his economic guru.KiwiBuild is a dog of a policy; it would never work. It was something where they were going to build houses for the price of the land. That was how good KiwiBuild was and New Zealanders understood that and knew it would not work. This policy does work. This policy gives New Zealanders who are working and saving the ability to get that deposit to get into their first home. It effectively doubles the amount of money that they can withdraw to get into that home and get that HomeStart package. It enables New Zealanders who are working hard and who have contributed to the scheme to actually have that deposit to get into the property market and that is a great thing.People have seen the numbers and they have worked it out and they have seen that they can get a home now whereas they could not have got a home in the past and they like that idea. We have changed the thresholds for the price of properties in different cities we have enabled buyers to withdraw their KiwiSaver funds and we have effectively doubled the amount that that contribution will be for a deposit. This is good for New Zealanders getting into their first property.The other thing that we have done is make sure that we have an economy that is strong where interest rates are at 6 percent not the 10.9 percent that the Labour Government left us with. We have an economy where people are getting jobs and where there is economic growth unlike what the Labour Government did when they left the country in recession. We have a country where we are not seeing the house price inflation that we saw under the Labour Government. Under the Labour Government there was a 96 percent increase in house prices over 9 years. It has been 28 percent in 5 years under the National Government and that shows that New Zealanders have the ability to get into houses. This bill helps them do that and it is great for New Zealanders. Thank you.

Volume:702;Page:1177. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]STEFFAN BROWNING (Green):I was going to speak to that. I did not realise it was going to be truncated to that degree. I have myself down as the No. 6 speaker on this bill.The Greens support the Subordinate Legislation (Confirmation and Validation) Bill (No 3)—on a Thursday night it feels like a Friday—but one of the things that stand out for us of course is the commodity levies. It is always good to see commodity levies from the productive sectors going into research and industry-good situations. A recent one of course is the forest growers levy a levy funding the work programme that has been set up that is going to do a lot of stuff to help around biosecurity for the industry and also with some of the marketing.I will just bring up one shortcoming with the system—and it does happen unfortunately with a number of levies. The power behind the spend of the levy is consolidated generally with producers with the biggest volume. In the forestry industry it is dominated by overseas interests and yet the benefit in theory out of this should be for all forest owners and we cannot be quite sure that that will follow. I will be very interested to see how they work it and to make sure that the benefits from the research and the work under the Government industry agreements around biosecurity and the like do follow down that track.With regard to the different orders in the Commodity Levies Act—there is the blackcurrant the harvested wood material the citrus fruit and some other orders—we are supportive of that going through. I just wanted to put it on the record that some of the issues around that we will need to watch to make sure that the small woodlot owners in New Zealand and others will get the benefit of that levy as much as those big overseas owners that dominant the New Zealand forest industry. Thank you.

Volume:702;Page:1175. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON (Attorney-General)on behalf of theLeader of the House: I move That the Subordinate Legislation (Confirmation and Validation) Bill (No 3) be now read a second time. As foreshadowed in the discussions at the Business Committee and under the changes to the Standing Orders adopted in July this year the bill’s second reading will—because no amendments were raised for consideration at the Regulations Review Committee—be followed by its third reading without debate. The bill confirms and validates 13 orders or regulations made under eight different Acts. The bill must be enacted by 31 December 2014 to avoid subordinate legislation lapsing—and we would not want that would we?Because of the timing of the general election this year’s bill had to be introduced in May which was earlier than usual and I want to thank the Regulations Review Committee for its assistance in ensuring that the bill has been amended to include the Excise and Excise-equivalent Duties Table (Alcoholic Beverages Indexation) Amendment Order 2014 which also requires confirmation and could not be included in the bill at the time it was introduced. In its report the committee commented that the streamlined procedure adopted in the 2014 revision of the Standing Orders will greatly assist in providing more time for the parliamentary scrutiny of confirmation and validation bills.I look forward to testing the new arrangements with the 2015 confirmation and validation bill and I commend the bill to the House.

Volume:702;Page:1154. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]12.DENISE ROCHE (Green)to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Is he doing enough to prevent problem gambling and ensure gambling venues comply with their host responsibility requirements given an Internal Affairs mystery shopper campaign found that 101 out of 102 venues failed a test regarding host responsibility?Hon PETER DUNNE (Minister of Internal Affairs):Yes. Although the mystery shopper exercise has shown that improvement is needed to ensure gambling venues and casinos are fulfilling their host responsibilities regarding problem gamblers I am generally satisfied with the work being done. There are a range of measures in place to improve practice to prevent problem gambling and improve host responsibility. For example Department of Internal Affairs officials are reviewing the training that venue staff receive from the gaming machine societies to ensure that that training is effective. I should say in respect of the exercise that both the class 4 sector and casino operators have broadly accepted their need to improve on their host responsibility obligations and will be working closely with the Department of Internal Affairs to ensure this happens.Denise Roche: Will he strengthen our gambling laws on host responsibility given that compliance is so poor that the undercover operators used by the Department of Internal Affairs were able to go up to bar staff and beg for more money and then go back to gamble with no intervention?Hon PETER DUNNE: The Gambling Amendment Bill (No 2) which is currently on the Order Paper and making remarkably slow progress makes some steps in this regard. There is a Gambling Amendment Bill (No 3) recently introduced to Parliament. I have also signalled that in the context of this rather fast-moving area of change a wider review of class 4 gaming societies may be in order.Denise Roche: If the Minister is really serious will he support our Green Party changes to the Gambling Amendment Bill (No 2) to introduce real-time player tracking and pre-commitment cards given that these have been proven to reduce problem gambling overseas; if not why not?Hon PETER DUNNE: No because there are a number of unfounded assumptions in the member’s question.Denise Roche: Why given the terrible record of compliance by gambling venues is he making this situation worse with his bill which will give venue operators a financial incentive to ignore problem gambling?Hon PETER DUNNE: The legislation does no such thing. All the member does by making that sort of a comment in a question is demonstrate her lack of understanding of it.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]10.DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East)to the Minister for Primary Industries: What reports has he received on initiatives to help attract young people into the primary sector?Hon NATHAN GUY (Minister for Primary Industries):Last week I visited St Paul’s Collegiate School in Hamilton to turn the first sod on its new centre of excellence for agriculture science and business projects. St Paul’s is working closely with industry and the Ministry of Education to develop a template for a new agribusiness programme. Students who choose the agribusiness programme will be able to use this fantastic new facility in 2015. This is a great initiative which shows what can be achieved when schools industry and the Government work closely together.David Bennett: What initiatives does the Government have under way that will help attract new talent into the primary sector?Hon NATHAN GUY: We know that we will need around 50000 extra workers by 2025 and a big part of that is attracting them into the primary sector because of the importance of the New Zealand economy. Also we need to make sure that we are doing our utmost—working in our schools—to ensure that we are attracting the youngest and brightest into the primary sector. We have a lot of work happening across Government already. One of the examples that I can share with the House is the Enterprising Primary Industries Career Challenge for year 10 students to get involved in to try to attract their peers into the primary sector. The Government cannot do it on its own and nor should we. We can do more achieving this together and I congratulate St Paul’s on its investment and decision.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]8.BRETT HUDSON (National)to the Minister of Energy and Resources: What update can he give on new data acquisition projects to support geological prospectivity signalled in Budget 2014?Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Minister of Energy and Resources):Today I was delighted to announce that aeromagnetic surveys will be the main focus of the $8 million investment to provide more comprehensive data on our mineral resources in New Zealand. Following surveys of Northland and the West Coast in recent years the focus will now shift to a $6.4 million programme of aeromagnetic surveys and geotechnical studies in Nelson-Marlborough Southland and parts of Otago. Once completed survey coverage will increase to around 30 percent of New Zealand’s total land area and $1.6 million will also be spent on petroleum data projects including a national project to audit well outcomes and gather additional frontier basin data.Brett Hudson: What are some of the benefits of data acquisition?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: It has multiple benefits. It provides comprehensive information to potential investors and it helps New Zealand compete in the international market for petroleum and mineral exploration. As we continue to see in our competitive tender processes good data can tip the balance of investment decisions in our favour. It also has of course many public-good applications in fields such as geological mapping geological hazard assessment forestry agriculture and horticulture as well as mineral exploration.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]5.Dr JIAN YANG (National)to the Minister of Education: What reports has she received about support for Investing in Educational Success from the secondary sector?Hon HEKIA PARATA (Minister of Education):Tēnā koe Mr Speaker. I was delighted to hear yesterday that secondary school principals returned a vote of 88.2 percent to include the new roles of our Investing in Educational Success initiative in the secondary principals’ collective agreement. This follows the similarly strong vote from secondary teachers. We look forward to these new roles being filled in the first communities of schools to get under way in term 1 next year which will contribute to our goal of every young New Zealander getting the best education possible.Dr Jian Yang: How will Investing in Educational Success lift achievement for all kids?Hon HEKIA PARATA: Investing in Educational Success helps ensure that we keep and share the very best teaching expertise in our classrooms as well as develop and grow the leadership of our schools. The clear endorsement from the secondary sector shows it understands the real potential of Investing in Educational Success to lift kids’ achievements through sharing the very best of what happens in classrooms across all schools.Dr Jian Yang: How will Investing in Educational Success encourage innovation in the teaching profession?Hon HEKIA PARATA: Applications have opened for the new $10 million Teacher-led Innovation Fund and there has been significant interest already. The fund will allow great ideas to be put into practice and shared across schools by providing the time and resources for teachers to undertake practical research with other teachers. This Government is supporting innovative ideas in the classroom and backing teachers to win.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]CHRIS HIPKINS (Labour—Rimutaka):I was waiting for you to say who it was who was still speaking when the bill was last debated but as it appears that nobody was speaking during that time I am very happy to take a call on the Gambling Amendment Bill (No 2) because I think this highlights the absolute incompetence of the current Government that this legislation is taking such a long time to progress through the House. In fact there are now two gambling amendment bills before the House because the Government was so incompetent—Hon Member: Three.CHRIS HIPKINS: Three are there? There is a third one because the Government was so incompetent in progressing this legislation. In fact one of these bills dates well back prior to the existing National Government even coming into office and it still has Rick Barker’s name on it such is the incompetence of the current National Government and its inability to progress this legislation.The gambling amendment bills all of them deal with relatively technical amendments to the Gambling Act a very technical piece of legislation but one that is very important none the less and I am looking forward to a lengthy and drawn out and significant debate on the provisions of the Gambling Amendment Bill (No 2) when we next come to it.Progress to be reported presently.House resumed.The Chairperson reported the Crimes (Match-fixing) Amendment Bill without amendment the Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Bill with amendment the Parole (Extended Supervision Orders) Amendment Bill with amendment the Education Amendment Bill (No 2) with amendment and progress on the Gambling Amendment Bill (No 2).Report adopted.

Volume:702;Page:1051. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]CATHERINE DELAHUNTY (Green):I will take a short call. I am not an expert on this part of the legislation. However I think it is important to register at all points during this process that we are not happy if we are not happy.I thought that the previous speaker Chris Hipkins made excellent points about the Order in Council and the “Henry VIII” clause. Henry VIII as we all know was not a role model. He had a bad history with women—with his abuse of power. He was a serial monogamist with a tendency to chop people’s heads off and he was not a democrat. He was not a pretty sight. So I think the clause is aptly named a “Henry VIII” clause.He killed a number of Catherines. I have always found that really disturbing. He also divorced some. He did not treat people well. I think the problem with the bill is that it is similar—not quite as Draconian not quite as many axes chopping and divorces involved but definitely a bad buzz. I think we would say it is a bad buzz. So “Henry VIII” clauses are not ones that we really want to focus on. They are part of a sad history. I am afraid that this bill is also going to be part of a sad history. Really as Chris Hipkins outlined this is not the kind of thing we should be doing regularly.In terms of the title of the bill the Education Amendment Bill (No 2) is an innocuous title that fails to describe what is really going on. As others have said this bill undermines representation undermines democracy and lacks clarity of function. The title does not reflect the purpose of the bill particularly in regard to university governance.I have to say I was astonished to hear from every level of the university sector their feelings on this issue expressed in the most surprisingly unacademic and intemperate language because they could not believe what was being done to them. This was from vice-chancellors right down to every form of representative. When there is that kind of unity when there is that kind of determination when everyone from what are normally different sides of the academic body come together and give us a message it is unfortunate that the Government has refused to listen. The Government could not justify the position. There was no explanation. Steven Joyce has never explained it. It is just one of his bright ideas. But it was unforgettable—the coherent and completely united approach from the academics on that issue as it was on the Education Council of Aotearoa New Zealand Bill.However I would just like to sum up rather than take up the time of the Committee much as I am enjoying myself.Metiria Turei: We’re enjoying you.CATHERINE DELAHUNTY: Thank you very much. I would just like to sum up what the bill is about. It is incoherent inconsistent conjectural undemocratic unfortunate and unsupported by the teaching profession. There may well be a fee boycott and it is the Government’s fault. Thanks very much.
