Rurawhe AdrianAGNES LOHENI (National): Thank you Mr Speaker. I'd like to start my contribution on the third reading by acknowledging the voices that did come out and they did through the Zoom platform during lockdown a difficult period for all of us but also for these submitters who wanted to contribute but under such stressful circumstances. I acknowledge their voices and I am only sorry that their concerns that they raised—very well and actually if members took the chance to actually come in and sit in on those submissions they would see that actually the landlords the mum and dad landlords the property owners the property managers the submitters actually don't have horns sticking out of their head. They're actually New Zealanders working hard mums and dads many of them with just one property and they work really hard to do what they do for their family and to ensure—most of them are doing their best for the tenants in their homes.The previous member that spoke just prior to me Marama Davidson—how rich to speak about this power imbalance this so-called power imbalance. And of course the member does have to create this burning platform—this burning platform—to try and create this burning platform so that you can pit one group of New Zealanders against another. It's an important relationship that relationship between people who have property that they can rent and New Zealanders who want properties to rent. It's an intimate relationship and by and large mostly it works well. For the Government to think that they're so clever that they can change the levers on this relationship they can move the levers around and effect a change that they think will make it better for the renters and New Zealanders is absolutely wrong. Yes they may not have taken into account the submitters during the select committee process their concerns raised the fact that it will become highly untenable for them to want to stay and be a landlord. Why would you want to if it doesn't work out for you? That's fine; they can sell up but don't think that that means it's going to open up the market for first-home buyers. The evidence is not there that that happens. We need the private rental market in New Zealand because clearly the Government cannot provide housing. So we need to be able to support that market and support the relationship and not pit one group of New Zealanders against another.We have the unintended consequences but they're actually not unintended consequences because these are consequences that were laid out very well by many of the submitters. One of those consequences as has been mentioned in this House a lot already is that rent has gone up. It has already gone up. Where was that speaker who spoke before me? Where was her voice? Because I am in my community in South Auckland and I know rents have gone up. It is getting harder and harder to get into rental properties. This bill is not going to fix that. It's going to make it worse. The power imbalance is actually the power imbalance in the way this bill has been treated in this House—the power imbalance of this Government taking no heed of the many submitters who submitted on this through this process and thinking that they know better how to fix the situation. The consequences are that actually it is not going to fix housing; it is not going to provide more affordable housing for New Zealanders. It is going to be tougher for those families on the margins to get into property and to have something for themselves for their families to have a rental home because there's going to be less on the market. The prices will go up because as it gets harder for landlords that will be reflected in the prices. The prices will go up and so the opposite will happen. I do not support this bill.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): This is a split call. I call—somebody?
