Williamson Maurice: Appropriation (Parliamentary Expenditure Validation) Bill — In Committee Speaker Recalled In Committee Third Reading 
[Volume:634;Page:5892] 
Hon MAURICE WILLIAMSON (National—Pakuranga) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Madam Chairperson. Earlier this morning the Chair of the Committee warned the Minister in the chair Dr Cullen that his microphone was live and that any comments he made were being carried. I have just come down from my office where I was listening to the Hon Lockwood Smith in the debate and I can say that Dr Cullen’s voice was coming through the radio louder—quite a bit louder—than that of Dr Lockwood Smith. Dr Cullen had been warned about that this morning—he actually chose to leave the chair because of it. I suggest Madam Chair that you give him another and final warning that if he carries on while his microphone is live—[ 
Interruption 
]—yes there was some pretty choice stuff coming through actually—you will ask him to leave the chair and have another Minister do the job.

 I raise a point of order Madam Chairperson. I make this point because I think that no one who is taking any time to listen to this debate should be left under any false illusion. The Auditor-General knows full well what the National Party spent its leader’s budget on. All of those accounts were made available to him by the Parliamentary Service which pays out all the money for the leader’s budget—which is why the Labour Party is in trouble.

 I raise a point of order Madam Chairperson. I seek your assurance at this stage. Given that there are some moves to close this debate can I have your assurance that you will consider Speakers’ rulings 60/7 and 60/8 regarding the harshness of your judgment on the closure given that there is no select committee scrutiny of this bill and given that a large number of amendments have been laid on the Table? Given that there is a great deal of anticipation about participating from this side of the Chamber I seek your assurance that you will consider that when you accept or decline a closure motion.

: I think I have more or less traversed the arguments in my earlier point of order. The Attorney-General was reduced to saying that he thought from the tone of my voice that I was supporting what the late Lord Cooke said. His comments are clearly wrong and by the way in which he picked up the statement after the point of order they come perilously close to breaching Standing Order 400(b).

[Volume:634;Page:5835] 
Hon Dr MICHAEL CULLEN (Minister of Finance) 
: 
 Before everybody starts to practise fake outrage again I make one very very simple point. It is that nobody in the National Party has so far managed to cite any words in the Auditor-General’s report for 2005 that say the interpretation that everybody had followed up to that point was wrong and that parties should not follow it during the period up to the 2005 election. They cannot find it because it is not there. Once that is found to be so then the entire case that the National Party has tried to make collapses. The real attempt to steal that election was the $1.2 million that came from the flaky fruitcakes in the Exclusive Brethren who do not vote but want to choose a Government and who will not fight but want to defend the country.

Hon CLAYTON COSGROVE (Minister for Building Issues) 
: 
 I will just briefly address the point that Mr Ardern was asking about. Supplementary Order Paper 64 has been reviewed by the Ministry of Justice in respect of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act. Clause 48A will allow Drug Free Sport New Zealand to carry out the investigations required under the World Anti-Doping Code. The Supplementary Order Paper does not go beyond what was set out in the bill but because the commencement date of the bill has been delayed clause 48A will allow the agency to exercise those functions in the interim period.

 I raise a point of order Madam Speaker. Although this is probably not the appropriate forum I have just realised that I failed to thank the committee staff for their assistance during the preparation of these two reports. I omitted to do that at the interim report stage as well. So I take this opportunity to thank both of them for the hard work they did in putting together these two quite technical and legalistic reports.

All parties except New Zealand First have indicated they will be reimbursing the expenditure. New Zealand First has indicated it needs more time to receive legal advice on the reports but will inform me as soon as possible of its intention once it receives that advice. Once I have received that notification I will report to the House.

11.  
TE URUROA FLAVELL (Maori Party—Waiariki) 
 to the  
Minister of Foreign Affairs 
: What were the 13 occasions between 1997 to 2003 on which New Zealand has consulted “interested Maori and others” on the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and what are the names of the groups and individuals that were consulted on those 13 occasions? 
Hon Dr MICHAEL CULLEN (Leader of the House) 
 on behalf of the 
 Minister of Foreign Affairs 
: They were on various days in May 1997 July 1997 October 1999 October 2000 November 2000 May 2001 November 2001 July 2002 August 2002 and August 2003. Many hundreds of people attended so obviously one cannot list all of them. Amongst the groups involved were the Maori Women’s Welfare League New Zealand Maori Council National Maori Congress Maori Legal Service Ratana Church Waitangi Tribunal and the Maori Land Court. 
Te Ururoa Flavell 
: What advice did his office give that led the Prime Minister to respond to Dr Pita Sharples in a letter of 16 October 2006 regarding the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples which states that some critics “have not even read the chair’s text or the many statements we have given on the subject.”; and what evidence does he believe the Prime Minister may have to support that claim? 
Hon Dr MICHAEL CULLEN 
: There is a great deal of misinformed comment on the declaration. One of the saddest things is that a number of countries indicated that they are voting for the declaration but have no intention of implementing it. 
Te Ururoa Flavell 
: What is his responsibility for the statement made on 16 October 2006 which was tabled at the 61st session of the United Nations General Assembly by a representative of New Zealand which stated: “Social and economic policies are best determined on the basis of need.” and where does he suggest that the notion of “rights” fits within this? 
Hon Dr MICHAEL CULLEN 
: The Government is a signatory along with a very large number of other countries to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Unlike many of those countries we actually follow that declaration. 
Te Ururoa Flavell 
: I seek leave to table a letter from the Prime Minister to Dr Pita Sharples concerning the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 
Document by leave laid on the Table of the House.
