Parker DavidHon DAVID PARKER (Attorney-General): Responding to some of the points that the Hon Dr Smith has made—or is it Dr the Hon Smith? According to the Lockwood Smith precedent—CHAIRPERSON (Hon Anne Tolley): It's the Honourable Doctor".Hon DAVID PARKER: The Hon Dr Smith. This legislation sets up the framework; it doesn't make the orders. Therefore this framework has to contemplate future orders including we say in respect of what we should do in the future should we have to go back to level 3 or 4 in a more nuanced way than we actually did as we went through those levels today. Therefore it is not this legislation that sets what the size of a gathering should be what the difference should be in a funeral or a wedding or a tangi or a private party; that is for the orders that are made under it.They are very proper questions for the Opposition to ask and it is proper for the Opposition to question those but that isn't what this legislation is doing; this is legislation that sets up the framework that has to cover various exigencies that may arise in the future. In respect of the assertion that is made by Dr Smith that this somehow means that the powers that were exercised under the earlier orders—that's not logically connected and that's not correct. In respect of the issue—Hon Dr Nick Smith: Well release the opinion—release it.Hon DAVID PARKER: Well there we go again. We have the Opposition having quite improperly attacked the basis of legal professional privilege saying the reason that we're asserting our legal professional privilege is because we've got something to hide in respect of those enforcement powers. It just shows you how populist and desperate they have become that they link those two arguments because they actually know—I would suggest to the public—that they're wrong in principle. In respect of the issue as to whether the Leader of the Opposition should be included in these things I would suggest to you that it is the executive that is held to account for governmental action and that is the traditional form of accountability that we are restoring through this bill meaning that it is the Minister that has to take into account under Part 2 the advice from the director-general can take into account economic factors as a consequence.We offered the Leader of the Opposition a confidential briefing on the legal advice that they so desperately wanted to see but he didn't want to see it on that confidential basis. We're quite happy with the ability of the Government to take these decisions wisely and to be held to account by the Opposition including in respect of orders that are made under this legislation. Indeed we think that is the appropriate way for our parliamentary democracy to operate including the ability of the Opposition to hold us to account through discussions in this Parliament at question time through the 90-day review of this legislation whether it's been appropriately dealt with by the Government. But we don't think it's appropriate that the Leader of the Opposition have the role that is sought by the Opposition in their Supplementary Order Paper and so we'll be voting against that particular Supplementary Order Paper."
