Doocey MattMATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Thank you very much Mr Assistant Speaker.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): That is fine.MATT DOOCEY: It is a privilege to rise in support of what I would call a cracker of a bill the Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill (No 2) in its first reading. Just listening to that last speaker Carmel Sepuloni talking about a change of Government—I sit here and reflect after listening to that speaker and of course Phil Twyford and I think of three terms in Opposition and I just think How out of touch"—how out of touch. She talks about banning foreign speculators when all the reports have come out that less than 3 percent of housebuyers are non-domiciled in New Zealand. She is too busy reading Denis O'Rourke and Tracey Martin's newsletters—that is what I would say she has been doing.Then we get Phil Twyford up. You cannot deny his enthusiasm and his energy but man he really needs to come south of the Bombay Hills does he not and see how we are doing in Canterbury where rental prices have dropped over 10 percent in the last year. The biggest dilemma now is that terraced houses are not renting because renters now have the choice of having their own stand-alone houses. That is what happens when the Government intervenes but when it tried to intervene in Point England well it was not allowed to were we? No and the Opposition tried to vote it down but it shows that when the Government steps in and frees up land which increases supply it equals demand.Back to this bill—even though I have not been prompted I will go back. I am very diligent and compliant. I will just say this is a cracker of a bill—succinct very clear and connected to the issues. There would not be one electorate or list MP in this House who has not dealt with either tenants or landlords and the issues that they face. I think this bill is very clearly drafted to address some of those key issues.Unfortunately as has been spoken of in the House tonight we do have a growing P issue something that should be taken very seriously. In my former work in the mental health field I worked in drug services and P scarily enough unlike any other drug—you primarily have to be predisposed to mental health issues for other drugs to bring out psychosis but after doing pharmacology and working with these clients it is very clear that P is one of the very few drugs that can actually bring out mental health issues in people who were not predisposed to mental health presentation. So it is a very scary drug that we should be taking all actions to address. I think it is quite right with the growing numbers of reports of manufacturing of P in rental properties that this bill will go some ways to addressing that—being able to intervene early and being able to support tenants and ultimately families who are renting properties so that they may be protected from P-contaminated houses.As a member of the Local Government and Environment Committee I am looking forward to this bill being sent there for the deliberations and for the submissions to ultimately bring back to the House a bill that will support many mums and dads whether they be tenants or whether they be landlords. Thank you very much."
