Woods MeganDr MEGAN WOODS (Labour—Wigram): It is my pleasure to take a short call on this piece of legislation which Labour is supporting. I think it is important that this bill does pass through this House and be enacted into law because many people are relying on this being sorted so that they can get on with getting on with their lives which Minister Woodhouse alluded to in his speech. I think that when we sit back in a few years' time and look at the number of pieces of bespoke legislation that we have had to put in place to address what has happened in Canterbury since September 2010 the statute book itself is going to tell a story about the amount of change that has happened. What we are talking about here is not an isolated incident. It is quite simple legislation: where the land has moved we need to make sure that the legal boundaries of that land can move to be with it as well.Hon Clayton Cosgrove: The earth has moved.Dr MEGAN WOODS: That is right Mr Cosgrove; the earth has moved. So what we have is that we have some material that does need to be put in place—and this applies to 11000 properties in the Canterbury area so this is no small undertaking given the number of homeowners who will be impacted by this legislation and need to get this sorted. One of the things that the Minister who spoke talked about is that we need to get this legislation passed and put in the parcel of legislation that is required in order for people to get on with their lives. I commend Minister Upston for taking that approach and I think she should have a wee chat with some of her Cabinet colleagues about the need to fasten processes so that people can get on with their lives in Canterbury in other parts of their lives as well. So I would ask her to consider having that talk. One of the changes that submitters did come to the Local Government and Environment Committee and ask for was that there be more robustness put around the disputes resolution clauses within this legislation because there will still be instances where people do not agree in terms of where it is deemed a property boundary has moved to. That was not included. The select committee made a decision to not include that change. I think that is something that we need to watch very carefully to see whether that is something that we are going to have to change in terms of this legislation—whether we are going to have to put greater provision in there to deal with disputes. The last thing that we want to be doing is passing a piece of legislation that allows people to get their insurance claims settled but then ties them up in litigation around where their property actually is which will mean that the very point that they want to get on with rebuilding their homes and their lives will be further delayed. So I am signalling that that could well be something that we are back in this House amending in the not too distant future. The properties that were affected where the boundaries have moved the most are by and large as you would expect in some of the most earthquake-impacted parts of the city. So I think it is as this bill passes into law—and we are coming up to the sixth anniversary of the earthquake that started this sequence of events in Canterbury—worth acknowledging what people all throughout the city have been through particularly in the parts of the city that have been most impacted by the earthquakes and the damage to property and the inability of people to get on with their lives as a consequence of that. I will also note that this legislation had to change as the Minister noted because of the Valentine's Day earthquake of this year. It is a little bit horrifying as a Cantabrian to read a piece of legislation forecasting earthquakes going out to 2022. I hope that is not a provision of the legislation that we have to use and that Valentine's Day this year was the last of the major sequence that we will see. I just feel the need to touch wood about now. Labour is happy to support this bill. We are happy to support any measure that would let Cantabrians get on with their lives and in fact we would like to see far more of them. Thank you.
