McKelvie IanIAN McKELVIE (National—Rangitīkei): It gives me a great deal of pleasure to speak in the second reading of this bill and to follow Minister Lotu-Iiga from Maungakiekie. Only a couple of weeks ago we had Minister Finlayson introducing an agricultural bill from out of the middle of Rongotai—of course he does have the Chatham Islands and there are a few farmers there. Maungakiekie has only—[Interruption] Yes he does. He has only Cornwall Park in his electorate. Of course Cornwall Park used to have a few cattle on it. Nowadays it is much more famous for the late Martin Crowe than for—Hon David Parker: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. Mr Finlayson like me does not have an electorate.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): The member might be right and one might not think it is debatable but actually if the member wants to assert it someone else can tell him he is wrong during the debate.Chris Hipkins: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. In fact there are clear rulings from the Speaker that the descriptions that list members use to describe themselves and that we can use to describe list members must be approved by the Speaker and that includes any representations around geography—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): The member will resume his seat. I possibly unlike the member was listening carefully to what was said. The Hon Chris Finlayson was not described as the member of Parliament for Rongotai.Hon David Parker: It was as his electorate".The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): He said "he came from".IAN McKELVIE: An interesting sojourn. I was going to comment on the late Minister of Agriculture from the Labour Party who was mentioned earlier but I will not now.Grant Robertson: Not late; he's alive.IAN McKELVIE: Oh he is still alive. Oh my word; I will not comment on that! The process that this bill takes has been very well described by Rino Tirikatene. It really enables New Zealand's horticulture industry which is made up of numerous small operators right across the spectrum—whatever they grow really—to remain internationally competitive. It allows those industries to operate under a framework that enables growers and exporters to deliver the produce most valued by diverse consumer groups in different markets while minimising our compliance costs. That is primarily what it sets out to do. The bill I think is a very good piece of legislation and it enables as I said our small operators to combine and collectively get much more strength than they otherwise would have got. I want to thank the Minister for Primary Industries and the Primary Production Committee. As was just mentioned there were 10 submissions on the bill and the select committee got through those pretty quickly. They were pretty much all in agreement as well. So although those submissions were basically in agreement as usual the select committee deviated off from time to time on to glyphosate and country-of-origin labelling which are two of our favourite topics that we cannot seem to get away from. None the less we did get back to the bill. This bill is one of the actions that this Government is taking to enable our export industries to grow significantly. It is a good example really of a Government intervention that does not create more production but creates a much better environment for that production to be marketed in. I think that is a fairly important part of any Government's role actually. The horticulture industry has a pretty significant target. It wants to grow itself to a turnover of $20 billion by 2020. That is a pretty significant industry by anyone's standards particularly in New Zealand. This bill is also to a large extent about trade. Trade is the key to what we do in this country. It also I guess emphasises the importance of our free-trade agreements. The average horticultural exporter in New Zealand pays some $38000 in foreign tariffs a year—in other words tariffs to stay in the market place. That is a pretty significant bite out of anyone's income. So it does point to the value of New Zealand's free-trade agreement process that we have been engaged in for many years now and will need to be engaged in in the future. One of the good examples of that is the benefit that kiwifruit and buttercup squash have got in the Korean market out of the very recently signed free-trade agreement with Korea. That market is worth about $55 million to New Zealand and there will be a significant saving once those duties come off. This bill I think has got great value to New Zealand. I am not going to go into the detail of it any further; that has been covered by both the Minister and by the first speaker from the Opposition. I have got a great deal of confidence in commending this bill to the House and I look forward to the discussion in the Committee stage."
