SpeechHARETE HIPANGO (National): Kia ora. As we've heard in the House this is a bill the Education and Training Amendment Bill that is to fix the mistakes in the drafting of the main Act. Fixing mistakes seems to be a signature brand of this Government. So here we are again. This is the second amendment bill before the House on the Education and Training Act—to fix mistakes. My colleague Penny Simmonds who is the member of Parliament for Invercargill talked about these two decades that she's had in the tertiary education sector and the engagement that she's had in leading the Southern Institute of Technology. The importance of getting things right—she said Do it once; do it right."This is a bit like the Bob the Builder advert where again we have a bill before the House where it's fixing up oversights errors and mistakes when the Government rushed through this main Act in 2020. So Bob the Builder we have a Minister who is "Chris the Constructor". In doing that it takes me—because this is a reconstruction this is a fix-it-up and I talked earlier in the bill that I spoke to before the Education and Training (Teaching Council Fees and Costs) Amendment Bill about a hatchet patch-it fix-it-up job. It turns me to thoughts about the Mitre 10 ad of the two little boys playing in the sandpit—one New Zealander one Australian—and the comment is "Mate you're dreaming". I reflect because I do recall when the Education and Training Bill was first before the House in 2020 and how it was being rushed through. This is what happens those members in Government when you rush things through you don't do it properly you've got to turn around declare your mistake and fix it up. Now I'll turn to the bill because this is about fixing it up. National supports it largely because they're technical problems which we did address in the House in opposition to this being rushed through identifying what the errors the flaws and the failings of this were likely to be—and hello here we are today in the House fixing this up. So in saying that the fix-ups—turning to the Education and Workforce Committee's report they recommend the bill without amendment. The bill proposes in the main statements of expectations. It's been identified to specify which agencies the Minister of Education and the Minister for Māori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti for some reason may issue statements of expectations when this is an Education and Training Amendment Bill. The other aspect that it proposes for a fix-it-up are limits on the use of physical restraint. That's most appropriate and it's interesting standing and listening to other speakers in the House to learn of the life experience that they come from. I turn to my colleague in the ACT Party Chris Baillie speaking about your former life as a police officer serving there. My former life as a lawyer was working in youth justice facilities with children and in my role as spokesperson for children Oranga Tamariki there are times when the use of physical restraint is required. In this setting we're talking about in the classroom. So one of the fix-it-up jobs that the Government didn't get right the first time this was before the House is to clarify who can use physical restraint on a student making it clear that only a person holding a teaching position can or may use physical restraint or someone who's specifically authorised by their employer to do so. Another fix-it-up is where it clarifies interventions in State schools by the Secretary for Education—when and how the Minister or the secretary may intervene in a school. Then again we turn to another fix-it-up: regulations relating to licences for early childhood services—amending the regulation-making power within the Act to allow regulations to be made that reflect the new process for early childhood education services to gain approval to apply for a licence. Another provision for fixing up that initial oversight when the legislation was initially rushed through the House under urgency and here we are again today: retaining provisions in primary legislation amending the sunset provision so that specific schedules are not automatically repealed. These schedules are about school enrolment schemes electing and co-opting board members to boards of State schools and national student numbers. So here in Opposition we agree that it's appropriate—should have been done properly the first time around—for these provisions to remain in primary legislation.Then finally continuing with no student service fees until 2022. My colleague Penny Simmonds who led the Southern Institute of Technology for a number of decades as the chief executive—this is applicable in her knowledge. The provisions that we're fixing up today would extend by another year the current prohibition on tertiary education providers charging a compulsory student services fee. My colleagues in Opposition have appropriately identified in the House today to members in the Government to the Minister of Education that these continual fix-ups these mishaps these mistakes these failings—which as I said earlier seem to be a signature branding of this Government. We do the job the first time round do it right do it once. Here we are wasting time. More appropriately priorities should and must be given to those very issues impacting our children our tamariki our tauira the students around the lack of quality education. How we've seen the standards drop how we've seen the failings how we've seen the non-attendances the truancy—which for some reason turn a blind eye out of sight—SPEAKER: Order! The member will now refer to the bill and only the bill.HARETE HIPANGO: I'm referring to the bill Mr Speaker—SPEAKER: Order! The member does not argue with my ruling. She sits down while I'm making it she does not read her speech and she refers to the content of the bill. The word "education" is not broad enough to talk about the entire education system. HARETE HIPANGO: So the changes that are being addressed in this amendment bill are acceptable. However the focus—and Mr Speaker addressing the House there was no argument with the ruling from the Chair. In addressing the House on this Education and Training Amendment Bill it is appropriate that the bigger issues in education that I had appropriately pointed out—SPEAKER: Order! I'm just going to take my mask off. The member has now twice referred to a ruling that I made and she's just not allowed to. I'm terminating the member's speech."
