Lees-Galloway IainIAIN LEES-GALLOWAY (Labour—Palmerston North): I would like to turn my attention to Part 3 which relates to enforcement and other matters. I will say at the outset that the questions I have are the questions of a member who is not on the Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade Committee and is coming at this with fresh eyes so some of them might be a bit naive but here we go.My questions are around the enforcement officers. I presume that this legislation is going to fall under the auspices of the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and the Minister of Business Innovation and Employment given that he is in charge of this legislation and MBIE provided the official support for this legislation. I am interested in exactly how the enforcement regime of this legislation is going to be established.Clause 58 allows for the appointment of enforcement officers. It says: (1) The chief executive"—presumably the chief executive of MBIE—"may appoint such suitably qualified and trained enforcement officers as the chief executive thinks necessary for the purposes of this Act." Now I thought that maybe the interpretation clause would tell me a little bit more about who these enforcement officers would be but the interpretation clause tells me that the enforcement officers are the people appointed under section 58 so it rather circular and is not particularly revealing. So here are my questions. Is the intention to set up a new department of MBIE? I imagine that these enforcement officers will be similar to labour inspectors or immigration enforcement officers. Will there be a new department in MBIE to enforce this legislation? How many enforcement officers does the Government imagine will be required to enforce this legislation? What is the nature of the employment relationship that is anticipated because I see that under clause 58(2): "An employment officer—(a) is appointed for a term not exceeding 3 years". That does not sound like a classic employment relationship; that sounds more like a contractual relationship.What I found very interesting is that clause 58(5) says: "An enforcement officer appointed under subsection (1) is not to be regarded as employed in the service of the Crown for the purposes of the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 or the State Sector Act 1988 just because the person is an enforcement officer." So does that mean that the Government intends to contract independent contractors private contractors? Exactly how is this regime going to be established? It is not clear. As I say I have not been on the select committee and all this may well have been addressed at the select committee but these are genuine questions. I think it is important to know whether we are passing legislation through this House that does have an important enforcement aspect to it.There are other aspects of the legislation that deal with keeping people away from the launch site. There are aspects of the legislation that deal with excluding people from the debris zone and people not being able to take photographs or make sketches and what have you. All of these are important from the view of health and safety from the view of protecting intellectual property and from the view of protecting the people who are working in this industry from people who might want to commit criminal acts and nefarious acts.So the enforcement of this legislation is important and I think it would be useful for the Committee to have understanding of what type of enforcement regime the Government intends to put in place. Is it that these will be additional duties that current MBIE employees who are already involved in the enforcement of other legislation might take on? None of that is clear and it not necessary for it to be clear in the legislation but I do think it is important as we are passing this legislation to have a fuller understanding of how the Government envisages that being established and so if the Minister were able to address those questions I would be very grateful."
