O'Connor SimonSIMON O'CONNOR (National—Tāmaki): Thank you Mr Chair. Look I'm very pleased to be speaking on what now is title and commencement and with a spot of luck that remains clauses 1 and 2 as a preamble to Parts 1 and 2.Clause 1 obviously is the title. I wouldn't mind the Minister explaining why the word registration" remains. In fact actually I need to take a step back. There are actually a number of changes between what the select committee reported and what Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) 187 indicates. It was mentioned earlier in this discussion [Member coughs]—excuse my voice—that there were basically no changes. There have been a number of sections introduced in this SOP that are going to be commencing two years after the date of Royal assent. Now again like so many things that looks simple but as I hope to illustrate in the coming minutes there's actually one glaring problem particularly around section 5.So substantial changes—not that that necessarily means an extraordinarily long time or times of discussion. The first though is of course the title clause and I don't intend to indulge the committee with alternative names. That's not really the proper place tonight. But there is a slight contradiction in that the title of this bill is not actually removing the word "registration". We've spent many an hour in this House discussing the changes from a registration process to that around scope of practice and the protection rightly of the name of social worker. Yet we're not actually removing the word registration from the Act itself. So when you go to the schedules you will see particularly Schedule 1 and all the various parts there there's been a very thorough move to remove the word registration from all basically relevant clauses in other pieces of legislation. I'm wondering from the Minister in the chair Carmel Sepuloni whether she can explain if it's just simply an oversight that of all the places that the word "registration" was not removed the most obvious one being the title it's not removed. It's not so much that it's a contradiction; it's just perhaps an oversight and we've unfortunately experienced a number of those tonight including with the regulatory impact statement. But I'd like the Minister in the chair to explain that. Fundamentally if we're removing the word "registration" from everywhere why did we not take the opportunity tonight to have that removed from the title? I personally think a new title "Social Workers Legislation" would have just been tighter and tidier. So really it's a twofold question to the Minister: was this an oversight or if the Minister doesn't wish to discuss or admit that if you will is that something that she would consider changing?We then move of course as night follows day to clause 2 if this SOP's accuracy remains. We see in clause 2 subsection (1) that a whole series of sections are to come into force two years after the date on which the Act receives Royal assent. Again that's fairly logical when one looks at the clauses—it's time to integrate them. The particular question though is why clause 5—clause 5 Minister—is not placed within those commencement clauses. We have clause 4 and then new clause 5A in there but the interpretation section is not. I spent quite a bit of time when we discussed Part 1 about the issues with these new definitions and I want to thank the Minister for the clarity she provided but the fundamental question we're looking at is commencement. It's numerically illogical to be able to create and start section 5A which is an amendment of interpretations but not actually bring into play at the same time the interpretations themselves. Now I may have overlooked something there—that is always always possible. It's possible that actually the Minister wants those interpretations to commence immediately and therefore sections 4 5A 6B and following are a logical conclusion. But in my reviewing of the text particularly to commence 5A without having 5 commence at the same time seems a little bit illogical to me. But as I always say I'm very happy to be corrected on that.Look then we come into section 10. This is repealing the practical experiences. I think it's in itself practical if I might use a tautology that that is there but there are two questions I think the Minister needs to address."
