McKelvie IanIAN McKELVIE (National—Rangitīkei): Kia orana. Madam Chair thank you. I want to change the topic slightly from brown marmorated stink bugs to the greatest animal in the world—the horse—just briefly and of course you've got an ex - Minister of Racing sitting next to you. I just briefly want to talk about the only tax relief that came about in the course of the Budget. I think it's hugely positive for the industry and I'll explain why. The tax relief given to the racing industry is exactly the same as tax relief available to all other livestock sectors in New Zealand and I think it's a very good bit of tax relief for the industry. The thing that I find extremely unfortunate was the description put around it and that's certainly undermined I think the credibility of the industry. I want to talk about a couple of other things in that sector before I move on to fishing. I want to talk about the synthetic track and the potential for that to happen because I think that also is exciting for the racing industry in New Zealand. Interestingly it looks as though that will be funded from the Provincial Growth Fund and I hope the fact that that happens doesn't then preclude those tracks from going in places they should go because clearly the Provincial Growth Fund has been designated as a provincial growth fund not a city growth fund. I think it would be a shame if as a result of that the tracks that are proposed by the Minister don't end up in a place that it's most important that they should. So I'm not going to pick those spots but no doubt that will happen. I think it's critical that they do end up where they should. Very briefly on the last couple of topics I wanted to very briefly speak in relation to the racing industry—and that's the Messara report which has been awaited with interest. The contents will be critical for the industry and I hope it covers all three codes. I now want to move on to the fishing industry an industry that's absolutely critical to all New Zealanders. The reason I want to talk about one or two things in this sector because I guess the most notable decision that's been taken by this Government is to delay or stop—and I'm not sure which—the implementation of cameras and even to some extent the monitoring that takes place on fishing boats. I just wanted to briefly talk about the industry because this industry is critical to New Zealand in many ways. It's a very big commercial industry in New Zealand and it employs thousands of people. But more than that there's an estimated 700000 of us that want to go out there and catch a fish on Saturday afternoon. Interestingly the biggest reason for those people wanting to go out and catch fish is not to catch it for food. It is to go out for an afternoon or a day or whatever of recreational fishing. The big challenge we've got in this industry—and the big challenge the Minister's got around the implementation of cameras or whatever other compliance measures are chosen to deal with the challenges the industry has—is that this has got to be sustainable from a New Zealand perspective. It's hugely important for so many New Zealanders that the fishing industry is sustainable and that it's managed in a manner that we can all participate in and yet can still guarantee New Zealand those huge commercial returns that come to the country as a result of that fishing industry. I just wanted to speak briefly about the foreign charter vessel legislation that was put through a year or two ago. It has proved to be pretty successful. I had the opportunity just some weeks ago to visit one of those boats in Lyttelton and you can't help but be impressed with the way they are operating. That's a piece of legislation that was put through the last Parliament and it certainly has proved to be hugely successful. So it just shows that with a bit of cooperation in an industry and in a sector we can make a lot of progress with the things that are most important for us as a country and most important for the fishing industry. The last Government commenced an independent review into the fishing industry and it will be very interesting to see the eventual result of that. That's pretty critical to us all as well. The other really interesting thing that's going on in the fishing industry is related to aquaculture and I think it's most important that we get the Marlborough Sounds salmon issue sorted out very quickly and allow those farms to move on and get on with what they do. Aquaculture is absolutely the key to New Zealand's future with respect to not so much the fishing industry but the production of food—protein—and it's a huge opportunity for this country if we can get the settings around aquaculture right. I urge the Minister to get on with that and make those decisions around the Marlborough Sounds as quickly as possible. Thank you Madam Chair.
