Lee MelissaMELISSA LEE (National): Thank you Madam Chair and thank you for considering the fact that I have been rising for a little while to ask a couple of questions. But before I do that I'd like to make a comment and perhaps give some advice to the Minister: insulting the Opposition and members in this House is probably not conducive to a good committee stage. I think there are many Ministers who get up and actually do the process and answer questions earnestly because as even Chlöe Swarbrick said not all of us are experts. Perhaps the Minister is the expert on electricity—I'm not so sure what her PhD is—but the thing is that insulting the Opposition by saying sarcastic comments like Oh there aren't that many questions." you know I don't know maybe the Minister doesn't actually want to be here but some of us do and we do have questions and it would be very helpful and alleviate the question and answer session in this committee stage if she is actually so inclined to be kind like the Prime Minister said—be kind and actually perhaps answer some questions earnestly—Tangi Utikere: Point of order Madam Chair. Members are aware that if there are particular issues that members might have there is a point of order process that members can take. I've been listening to the debate and it seems to me—my submission is—that many of the contributions have been time bound and out of scope and on this side of the Chamber we're seeking to move some closure motions on that basis. So I would invite you to reflect on that in terms of making rulings.Simon Court: Madam Chair?CHAIRPERSON (Hon Jenny Salesa): Is it a point of order or are you seeking a call?Simon Court: Seeking a call Madam Chair.CHAIRPERSON (Hon Jenny Salesa): Can I just respond to this point of order. I've been actually listening to the debate as well and some of the contributions has been out of order in terms of the wider scope that they talk to. But I've actually allowed it in the spirit of the debate and I will now go back to the call that was being taken.MELISSA LEE: Thank you Madam Chair. I will go to clause 15 "Section 40 amended (Urgent amendments to Code)" which basically talks about "expires on the date that is 9 months after the date on which it comes into force unless it is revoked earlier under section 40A." When you actually go through that whole section and you come to 44B in clause 19 it talks about how the Minister may amend the code to include specified matters. If you go down to subsection (3) of 44B it actually says "The Minister may amend the Code under this section as if the Minister were the Authority" and then it just has a couple of other lines.I'd like to ask the Minister how she actually sees this particular case. Apart from it being deemed that the Minister's changing the code on the fly and the Minister is literally—the Government actually thinks that the Government knows best and it's almost like this is about Wellington trying to impose rules on people increase costs on people and it's literally dictating. I'm trying to find out in what circumstance will the Minister take on the role as section 44B(3) says: "The Minister may amend the Code under this section as if the Minister were the Authority". What specific example can she give us in this Chamber where she will actually do that job and take on the role of the authority?"
