Smith Nick: Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 Amendment Bill — In Committee Third ReadingText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeSmith Nick: Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 Amendment Bill — In Committee Third Reading[Sitting date: 16 May 2013. Volume:690;Page:10285. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon Dr NICK SMITH (Minister of Conservation) on behalf of theMinister of Energy and Resources: I moveThat the Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 Amendment Bill be now read a third time. The petroleum minerals sector is already an important contributor to the New Zealand economy. Mining is the backbone of many local communities. For example on the West Coast the mining sector employs over 4000 people generates about one-third of household incomes and contributes $550 million a year to local GDP. The petroleum industry in Taranaki directly employs almost 4000 people with another 4000 in supporting industries and contributes around $2 billion a year in local GDP.Crude oil is New Zealand’s fourth-largest commodity export worth now over $2 billion per year. But the potential for growth is even greater. New Zealand has an extensive untapped wealth of minerals and petroleum resources. The Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 sent a clear signal to investors that this is a supportive regime that requires high standards of its operators. It is central to changes that will allow us to realise the tremendous opportunities that this high-value sector offers.This bill provides commercial certainty to operators who obtained their mining licences under earlier regimes and who are covered by transitional arrangements. It also clarifies how data confidentiality and reporting requirements will apply to all existing privileges. The bill also makes minor changes to the application of operator capability assessments and to the threshold for platinum group elements. These changes do not dilute the robust performance management provisions of the regime in any way but are necessary to improve the alignment of the regime with industry structures and future resource development.The bill also makes minor drafting changes which again are within the scope of the Act itself. Much has been made by the Opposition of the bill correcting errors in the previous Act that was passed. I would note that over two dozen bills in the previous Parliament contained such errors that required correction. The only people in this Parliament who have not made mistakes are those who have not done anything. I also note criticism that these amendments have been picked up before the Act took effect and the Minister has received criticism for that. I take the opposite view. For the Minister to get on and fix these errors before the Act comes into effect ensures that the public is not adversely affected by any such errors.In the Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 this Government has established a robust modern and futureproof regime to allow continued responsible development of New Zealand’s petroleum and mineral resources for the benefit of all New Zealanders. I commend the bill to the House.

That is outrageous after I was so badly interrupted by those points of order.We are speaking to the Customs and Excise (Budget Measures—Motor Spirits) Amendment Bill. This is a bill that taxes poor people in order to support rich people. It is a bill that involves a wealth transfer from provincial New Zealand to Auckland. It is something that the Labour Party is very concerned about. We are very surprised at the Green Party’s decision to vote for it. As we have said previously if there had been a decent transport package that involved funding going to public transport with this level of excise increase we would have supported it. But what the Green Party has ended up doing is voting for the Government on a Budget measure and I am very very surprised.

I am pleased to be the last Green Party speaker on this Customs and Excise (Budget Measures—Motor Spirits) Amendment Bill. The Green Party is supporting the bill. Obviously we have got a different transport vision from the Government’s. We have got concerns about how thefuel excise levy is going to be spent. We think it is logically inconsistent. The declining road transport revenue is going to be fixed by increasing the fuel excise levy and increased borrowing to spend on the roads. Obviously fewer people are going to be driving. Over numerous calls we have critiqued the Government’s 1960s transport vision. We have proposed our positive solution. But we are not going to belabour the point tonight. Kia ora.

Volume:690;Page:10375. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon GERRY BROWNLEE (Minister of Transport): I moveThat the Customs and Excise (Budget Measures—Motor Spirits) Amendment Bill be now read a third time. Increases in petrol excise combined with the increases in road-user charges will provide the revenue this country needs to deliver long-overdue improvements to the land transport network. The increases will lift the rate of excise duty on petrol to about 59.5c per litre in 2015. Compared with other developed countries this rate is low. In fact even following these increases New Zealand will have the fifth-lowest rate of petrol tax in the OECD. New Zealand also has one of the few hypothecated schemes in the OECD. In other words all the money that is taken off the road users is spent on the roads. Maintaining this system ensures that road users throughout the country continue to be the ones who are funding investment and maintenance in the roading network. These increases will allow significant investment in the country’s many important transport projects. I commend this bill to the House.

I deliberately waited until you had put the vote in order not to be sort of disorderly but I do want to ask you whether you can explain your reasoning with regard to the latest set of calls. I think we all know that it is the discretion of the Chairman as to who is called. I am not going to argue with that. But it does seem to me to be particularly surprising that the normal rules of seniority within a party were not used on this particular occasion. My colleague who is the fourth-ranked member of the Labour caucus and sits on the front bench made repeated attempts to get the call but a number of us more junior members—as far as the current seniority arrangements are concerned—were called including right at the end I think the youngest member of the Labour Party caucus Mr Lees-Galloway.Hon Member: He’s the spokesperson.Hon TREVOR MALLARD: It might be the fact that he is the spokesperson and you are recognising that Mr Chairman. But I would like an explanation as to the criteria that you are now using because at first glance it does look a bit awful.

The member—[Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order! That level of interjection is too loud. Would the member Mike Sabin—Hon Trevor Mallard: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I was waiting for you to interrupt the member after his gross breach of the Standing Orders.Mr SPEAKER: Order! Would the member please resume his seat. I call Mike Sabin.MIKE SABIN: I heard the contribution from David Shearer’s speech writer Grant Robertson talking about how nothing in this bill the Customs and Excise (Budget Measures—Motor Spirits) Amendment Bill is dealing with poverty which is rubbish first and foremost. Secondly this is another good example of a party that votes against everything that is actually about building the economy that is actually about giving some of the infrastructure that provides productivity. The benefits to Northland alonefrom the Pūhoi to Wellsford motorway are in the vicinity of $45 million per annum. That is a province that deserves to be invested in and this Government and this Minister of Transport are doing that.

Volume:690;Page:10324. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East): I think the Labour Party needs to take stock of that member Iain Lees-Galloway. I think that an experienced member sitting beside him like Mr Cunliffe who had a high ranking within the Labour Party until recent times should really talk to that member because the comments he is making around the roads of national significance will come back to bite him if he ever ever has to do any policy.The member cannot say that billions of dollars are being spent on empty roads. That member obviously has never been in Auckland. He is from an area outside of Auckland and is making policy and judgments around some of our busiest roads. He has no idea what he is talking about. He deliberately misled this House in talking about how this Parliament was saying that all this money was going on to the roads of national significance. That is not true. The fact is that we pay for half of the roads that are local roads.When they are talking about relieving peak congestion and my colleague made a very good point about trains and buses and so on the member opposite has no idea about the way that public transport works how much it costs and the effectiveness of it at certain periods of time. He finished with the quote of “going to your local communities”.In my first reading speech I made it clear to Mr Iain Lees-Galloway that we welcome his visit to Hamilton—we welcome him to Hamilton. I want to see the day that Mr Iain Lees-Galloway says the words like: “These are monster motorways that serve no real purpose.” I want to see him come to Hamilton and say that to his party’s former member Mr Gallagher to our mayor and to our people. I want to see Mr Iain Lees-Galloway repeat the rhetoric that he has been saying in this House because those words will come back to haunt him.The people of Hamilton the Waikato Northland Auckland Wellington Christchurch and Tauranga know that these roads are important for their communities. They make a big difference to economic growth. They make a huge difference to those communities. I want to see that member come to Hamilton and say what he has been saying outside this House because he is going to be the biggest vote winner that National can get. He is going to be the biggest vote loser that Labour can get at the next election. So thank you Mr Iain Lees-Galloway and just a bit of advice: do not make such statements about roading in the future. Think about what you are saying because it is going to hurt you in the end. Thank you.
