O'Connor Greg; Rurawhe AdrianGREG O'CONNOR (Labour—Ōhāriu): Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker. Again as many of the previous speakers have discussed fire is a big part of our lives and certainly the fire services now known as Fire and Emergency New Zealand are something that will touch us all at some stage. I know in my own electorate I have three volunteer fire brigades and some professionals there and I did get some idea of how some of the costs are incurred. The Newlands Volunteer Fire Brigade—of which there are several members who work around this building; fine men and women that they are—when the call went up to go to Nelson earlier this year they were there. They were on the ferry they were down there with their very nice machine and when they came back they were persuaded to leave it down there. Much to their chagrin when it arrived back it had been slightly bastardised—I think that's a parliamentary word—and they were required to replace several bits while the machine was there without them. But replace them they did and they are now back the fine group of young men and women they are ready to protect their community of Newlands.That just gives some idea—in fact just sitting right next to me is a former member of the Wairarapa or Masterton volunteer fire brigade. Again it just shows the calibre of the people that are out there protecting us day and night and prepared to come to our assistance. That same pragmatism that those young men and women and some older men and women do display is being displayed with this legislation because here we have before us—and again the Hon Tracey Martin is to be congratulated. There was an issue. Clearly when you get a major change—and again some of the speakers before me have spoken about the new Fire and Emergency the merging of rural fire services and that has not been a situation that has happened without some angst some considerable need for reorganisation. Those of us who have been involved in mergers and reorganisation will know that there are always a few unforeseen consequences of that—costs etc. And that's left the insurers just a little—of course with the whole levy change having to rearrange the way they collect their levies and this is what this legislation is about: to ensure that they get the time to do what it is they need to do. Of course again being a pragmatic Minister it was also while doing that it's been apt—the bill was always intended to exempt museums public art galleries and whare taonga and rather than keep them in the current system until the law changes either next year or by 2021 it was really rather pointless continuing the levy on those three types of buildings. So again in a magnificently pragmatic manner the levies on those three buildings are now going to be lifted. They are places again—as we talked about fire being part of our lives as are museums art galleries and for a certain part of the community whare taonga. So again a pragmatic piece of legislation that will benefit a pragmatic group of young men and women—and older men and women—who look after us and so I have no hesitation in commending this to the House.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): Lawrence Yule—five minutes.
