Rurawhe Adrian; Severin ToniSPEAKER: The House is resumed. Members before the lunch break we were debating the first reading of the Accident Compensation (Access Reporting and Other Matters) Amendment Bill. We're up to call No.7. I call Toni Severin.TONI SEVERIN (ACT): Thank you Mr Speaker. On behalf of the ACT Party we're actually going to support the Accident Compensation (Access Reporting and Other Matters) Amendment Bill through this first reading to select committee; however we do have some concerns.When you read through the departmental disclosure statement there has not been a regulatory impact statement done or a cost-benefit analysis. For good policy to be made these are vital to be able to understand how this bill is going to have an impact on costs for New Zealanders. We all pay into this scheme and the scheme has been going for 50 years and I do know for certain that we do not have data on particular people especially around women Māori Pasifika and the disabled. We're all good for having good data to be able to implement good service good delivery and make sure that everybody has the right access that they require; however because this also has an element that is going to be financial—where they're going to help the rate of minimum weekly compensation—we're not sure how much that is actually going to cost which is something that I think we do need to know because in this world of a cost of living crisis it does affect working-people's fees. Levies will go up depending on what is required.Also as the Greens previously said when we get these reports there is a lot of financial stuff about our investments and how well we're investing our money but there is very little about how we are servicing some of our people here in New Zealand. The biggest thing of course I do know is that we have moved into a world where a lot of stuff is online—and also connectivity for a lot of people. I also know that some people don't necessarily go to the physio or to other treatments that they need for rehabilitation who would possibly fill in those forms and help. Some of them only go to their GP and are then expected to do a few things online or follow through online. So that can also be a major access problem that we may need to look at in the future. But overall we're saying we'll let the public and we'll let the officials come in and see what we can nut out on this very small bill.I'd also like to mention even though here in the House we're still operating on Tuesday when the rest of New Zealand is on a Friday this bill was mentioned on Tuesday and we only saw it yesterday. So it would have been nice to have had a little bit more time in investigation. I know that it's not always possible; however I did not see this one to be of urgency. It is definitely something that needs to be accounted for but I'm not sure if it needed to be in urgency for its first reading during this time period. There are many other things that are happening in our communities that require more urgency than necessarily this bill. As we are saying we do love to have great data to understand how to deliver great services and access but there are still many questions to be answered. I hope that the Minister and officials and the public out there can help us with this. So I support it in its first reading. Thank you Mr Speaker.
