Belich CamillaCAMILLA BELICH (Labour): Thank you Madam Chair. Thank you for the opportunity to take part in the annual review debate with the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety. As the previous speaker indicated we did hear from the Minister during the annual review process in relation to WorkSafe and I understand the annual review will also cover the Treasury and annual review which sets out the Government's strategic intentions. So I'll be indicating to the Minister that my questions will be around the annual review which she attended and also the annual review that was heard by the Finance and Expenditure Committee as it relates to her portfolios.So the questions I had for the Minister initially are in relation to health and safety. The Minister has indicated that one of her priorities as Minister is to review the Health and Safety at Work Act and I wanted to ask the Minister the progress that she has made in relation to that review. I have considered some of the advice that she's received from officials on the possible ways that the Health and Safety at Work Act could be reviewed and I understand that that takes into account the year under review and also her strategic intent going forward in relation to changes she wants to make.So the questions I have for the Minister are really: has she made a decision about the nature of the review and to help the Health and Safety at Work Act? And to what extent will that be looking at changes to the legislation or as officials have suggested changes to the regulatory system which underpins the Health and Safety at Work Act and has been suggested by officials to be perhaps an area for review.I wanted to ask the Minister about a statement that she made during a Simpson Grierson webinar where she said she wanted to ensure a balance between protecting workers and taking into account the costs and benefits. And I wanted to get an indication from her as to what she meant when she said that there needed to be a balance in relation to both those things and what—the question that flows from that—is too high a cost to pay in respect of workers' health and safety?The Minister will be well aware that New Zealand has twice the workplace fatality rate of Australia and as noted in a recent briefing six times the rate of the UK. I think the committee would all agree that that is a shameful statistic. With that in mind I wanted to refer back to some of the questions that were put to the Minister in the annual review in relation to the resourcing of WorkSafe and the number of inspectors that she intends to retain in those positions and whether she can in fact guarantee to the committee that there won't be reductions in the number of inspectors—given those statistics which I've just read out which were traversed during the annual review programme.Additionally—and I'm just wanting to get some of these questions in relation to this particular area to the Minister while I have the call—she would note that there are very very embarrassing and terrible statistics in relation to the impact of workplace fatalities and also workplace injuries for Māori and Pasifika communities. I wanted to know from the Minister: does she recognise this? And in what way in her review will these particular very terrible statistics for these particular communities be taken into account moving forward? So I'll leave it there for the Minister. Thank you.
