Collins JudithHon JUDITH COLLINS (National—Papakura): Thank you Mr Speaker. Who knew that the Finance and Expenditure Committee under the Labour Party leadership was such a land of opportunity? Well that was pretty staggering wasn't it? I however can be counted on to be a little more brief. So this bill has its fruition or its birth let's say from the work of the Hon Nick Smith in his review of the Unit Titles Act. Nikki Kaye our colleague at the time picked it up. She brought me into it because I was the housing spokesman and I thought it was a very important bill having worked with bodies corporate as a lawyer for 20-odd years before I came to Parliament. It's a really important thing to deal with some of the issues that those who buy into bodies corporate and those who take on the actually often onerous job of being on the body corporate committee or being the chair of the body corporate do need to have some extra help. I mean any bill that we deal with these days is going to be one which needs to be updated from time to time. There's been quite a lot said tonight possibly significantly more than needed to be about the fact that we can now have Zoom meetings. Well under the Unit Titles Act it is really important to note that in another 20 years there will be something else. In another 10 years there'll be something else. Technology is moving so fast that when we look at these sorts of provisions in the bill we need to understand that they themselves may not stand the test of time simply because the times will move on. I think it's very heartening to hear that in the provincial area serviced in the Tukituki electorate there is a retirement village and they have felt that it is really important that this bill gets sorted. It just shows you just how much people are moving more towards a slightly more communal style of living when it comes to apartments or retirement villages and we should be acknowledging that and accepting that for many people the quarter-acre section or let's say the eighth of an acre section is no longer going to be required or actually necessary for people and they really don't want to be bothered with mowing lawns all day or having the biggest garden in the street. So it is going to be important that we fix up the legislation from time to time. I have heard one of the Labour members talk a significantly long time tonight about how this was a bill that was a Labour Party promise to sort out the Unit Titles Act; trouble is they didn't. It was actually Nikki Kaye and myself who went to see the Hon Phil Twyford who was at the time the Minister. Nikki put it together working with other people in the Auckland Central area electorate doing an extraordinarily good job getting the legislation through and the select committee worked very hard on it for a very very long time. I've often thought that there's that saying I think it's the Mainland cheese ad about how good things take time. I thought we could say possibly tonight that good legislation takes several mothers and it also requires a lot of time and effort to try and get it right. This bill should have been able to be adopted by the Government but it wasn't. They did not want to do it but at least they didn't actually stop it. And that is a good thing. I think it is good that all parties in the House are supporting this legislation. It's the sort of thing that our constituents would expect us to do and the Hon Nikki Kaye should be very proud of this legacy of hers. It was good to hear such good comments from Chlöe Swarbrick the current MP in Auckland Central and it just shows the sort of cooperative attitude we expect. It was also particularly good to hear Nicola Willis speak as the housing spokesperson but also as our MP based in Wellington Central with Wellington Central and Auckland Central surely having some of the most—certainly the greatest numbers—of buildings affected by the Unit Titles Act. Anyway I commend this bill to the House.
