Volume:692;Page:12491. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch): Members the House is in Committee on the Gambling (Gambling Harm Reduction) Amendment Bill. Earlier today the House gave leave for the Committee to hold one debate on the Gambling (Gambling Harm Reduction) Amendment Bill and to commence voting on all questions at 9.30. The Committee will report once voting is complete and the House will adjourn once it has received the report.There are some consequences of that decision that I will inform you about now. Where there are clauses for which no amendments are proposed and which are not to be considered for a personal vote the Chairperson will group the clauses together for asingle vote. There are a number of questions that the Speaker has indicated may be decided by a personal vote. If personal votes are called for the first one will receive a 7-minute bell. All subsequent personal votes will receive a 1-minute bell.So the question is that clauses 1 to 4 and 11 to 19 stand part and all amendments proposing new clauses be agreed to.

Volume:692;Page:12463. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]DENIS O’ROURKE (NZ First):New Zealand First understands the reasons why the people concerned seek the direction for the entry on to the birth certificate as set out in the Sullivan Birth Certificate Bill. New Zealand First also accepts the genuine motivation for the bill. But the law as it previously was that prevented the entry of both parents’ names was properly complied with at the time. There is therefore no wrong in the legal sense to be put right. New Zealand First therefore does not accept that it is now necessary or appropriate to pass this bill for one individual. It may be appropriate to change the law generally for people in this position but that is not a matter for the present. For that reason alone New Zealand First feels obliged as a matter of policy to vote against it.

Volume:692;Page:12442. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]12.CHRIS AUCHINVOLE (National)to theMinister of Labour: What recent announcements has he made about health and safety reform in New Zealand?Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Minister of Labour):Today I announced the Government’s response to the recommendations of the Independent Taskforce on Workplace Health and Safety. The reform package Working Safer represents the most significant changes in health and safety at work in 20 years and is essential to meeting our target of reducing the workplace serious injury and death toll by 25 percent by 2020. Achieving the step change required is not something the Government can do alone; it requires leadership and action from businesses and workers and recognition that good health and safety is an aid to good business practice and improved productivity.Chris Auchinvole: What are some of the major aspects of the Working Safer reform package?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: We have broadly accepted all the task force’s recommendations. The reform package includes a new health and safety at work Act; a large increase in funding forWorkSafe New Zealand in order to strengthen enforcement and education; a focus on high-risk areas; a stronger focus on occupational harm and hazardous substances; and stronger penalties enforcement tools and court powers. This reform is the legacy we owe to the Pike River families and the families of the 75 people who are killed each year in our workplaces.Darien Fenton: Are the health and safety reforms compromised by the fact that only 98 out of 158 warranted health and safety inspectors have been recruited and his department is now so desperate it is considering bringing in inspectors from New South Wales at an additional cost of $25000 each per year?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: I do not understand the member’s figures to be correct. From memory the number of health and safety inspectors today is some 116. I think when you include various others including trainees you get to more like 150 or a little more than that within the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment health and safety group. It is also I think right to record that I make no apology for the reform process we have gone through because the fact of the matter is that we did need to improve standards and training and that is what we are about doing.

Volume:692;Page:12440. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]10.JACQUI DEAN (National—Waitaki)to theMinister for Building and Construction: What is the Government doing to improve the earthquake-prone buildings policy system?Hon MAURICE WILLIAMSON (Minister for Building and Construction):Today I announced the Government’s new nationally consistent policy to deal with earthquake-prone buildings. It was clear that the current policy needed to be changed following the Canterbury earthquakes and the subsequent Royal Commission of Inquiry into Building Failure Caused by the Canterbury Earthquakes which made 36 recommendations in relation to earthquake-prone buildings. The new policy today deals with the 13 outstanding recommendations with the other 23 already being part of the Government’s work programme. Overall the Government’s decisions are broadly in line with the royal commission’s recommendations.Jacqui Dean: What are the key elements of the new policy?Hon MAURICE WILLIAMSON: Earthquake-prone buildings will be identified and assessed within 5 years and building owners will then have another 15 years to either strengthen or demolish those buildings. There will be extensions of up to 10 years from the national time frame for some heritage buildings and exemptions will also be available for buildings where the impact of failure is very low. The current strengthening requirements for earthquake-prone buildings will not change. Owners will still have to strengthen to 34 percent of the new building standard. A public register of earthquake-prone buildings will be created by the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment so that the public can see firsthand which buildings qualify.Te Ururoa Flavell: Kia orana Mr Speaker. What advice has he received from the Minister for Disability Issues about how the new earthquake-prone buildings policy aligns with the Government’s commitment to progressively improve the accessibility of public buildings?Hon MAURICE WILLIAMSON: The decision taken by the Government this week was to allow for regulations to be put in place that would determine what criteria would be required for the triggering of disability access and fire safety standards if indeed a building was also requiring earthquake strengthening. Those criteria have not yet been established and I look forward to the debate on that as we begin to promulgate the regulations for such.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]7.BARBARA STEWART (NZ First)to theMinister of Health: Is he satisfied with the performance of all district health boards?Hon TONY RYALL (Minister of Health):I am happy and satisfied with the performance of district health boards helping to deliver record immunisation rates for New Zealand children huge improvement in emergency departments seeing patients within the 6-hour target record numbers of heart and diabetes checks faster cancer services so patients do not need to go to Australia record elective surgery and delivering record access to first specialist assessments. However there is always room for improvement and for district health boards to do better particularly with regard to the occasional individual unacceptable case.Barbara Stewart: Is he satisfied that a 90-year-old woman was kicked out of Tokoroa Hospital at 2.30 a.m. on 23 July and was forced to get a neighbour out of bed to come and return her to her home inPūtāruru?Hon TONY RYALL: No I would not be happy with that. I would have to check that to make sure that the circumstances were correct but I can tell you that that would be unacceptable.Barbara Stewart: Is he satisfied that a patient being referred by his general practitioner to MidCentral District Health Board for a cardiology test was told by the board that he was only a semi-urgent case and that it could not offer him an appointment until January 2014 and told him to see his general practitioner instead?Hon TONY RYALL: If that is the case that I think it is I can advise the member that the district health board provided that patient with incorrect information and they will be getting I understand an appointment much sooner than that.Barbara Stewart: When will we see an end to this treatment of an increasing number of vulnerable elderly patients who under his watch have been shunted out of hospitals in the early hours of the morning and into the night?Hon TONY RYALL: I simply reject that claim. The fact is that under our Government we are providing better emergency department service faster. That member only needs to cast her mind back to the Government that her party supported under Labour where patients—old people—waited in the North Shore Hospital emergency department for 3 days on end under bright fluorescent lights and she continued to support that party.

Housing New Zealand right now has builders on the ground on 600 different sites around New Zealand constructing new homes. A further 500 are under contract with work due to start in a matter of weeks. This will contribute to Housing New Zealand’s target of at least 2000 new homes by June 2015. In addition to this subsidiary housing Hobsonville Land Co. will deliver around 540 homes the Social Housing Unit is funding the construction of another 700 homes and the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment is also directly contracting the construction of homes in places like Rangers Park to support Christchurch’s recovery.Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga: What reports can he give of initiatives that will see better utilisation of the Government’s land holdings to increase both social and affordable housing?Hon Dr NICK SMITH: We have dozens of redevelopment initiatives under way that increase the overall number of homes on Housing New Zealand land but reduce the overall proportion that are State housing. In the member’s own electorateMaungakiekie in Maria Street we are building 21 homes where there were previously three and retaining six of those for State housing purposes. In northern Glen Innes we are going from 156 homes to 260 homes. The removed houses that were subject to the protest action by the member for Te Tai Tokerau were ironically relocated to his electorate where they are being used for marae housing.

I can confirm that the Government has committed funds towards advertising to assist with this public information campaign. The Director-General of the Ministry for Primary Industries has also advised me that he will be holding a press conference today to provide a further update on the process he has undertaken to resolve this issue. Parents and caregivers should continue to check the Ministry for Primary Industries website for updates and should callPlunketLine andHealthline if they have any health concerns.Paul Foster-Bell: What cross-Government work is happening in terms of public safety relating to infant formula?Hon NIKKI KAYE: I am advised that the Ministry for Primary Industries is continuing to work closely with the Ministry of Health to help ensure public safety. The Hon Tony Ryall has informed me that Plunket nurses are today contacting as many Plunket mothers as possible whom they know are using infant formula to ensure they are aware of the recall. The Government also wants to ensure that this message is accessible for mums and dads in New Zealand and abroad. The Ministry for Primary Industries has advised me that there will be documents in different languages relating to the recall available on the Ministry for Primary Industries website.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]1.JAMI-LEE ROSS (National—Botany)to theMinister of Finance: What recent reports has he received about international market reaction to the potential whey protein contamination issue?Hon BILL ENGLISH (Minister of Finance):The latest global dairy trade auction was held overnight—the first auction since Fonterra confirmed it was dealing with a potential whey protein contamination issue. The online auction is considered a barometer of international dairy prices and Fonterra is the largest seller at the auction. The global dairy price index slipped a modest 2.4 percent compared with the previous sale 2 weeks ago. The total volume of product sold at the auction increased to over 60000 tonnes up from 38000 tonnes 2 weeks earlier. The results confirm there has not been a material market impact onFonterra’s prices from the contamination issue and the international demand for dairy products remains strong.Jami-Lee Ross: How does the latest global dairy auction result compare with previous results?Hon BILL ENGLISH: The 2.4 percent fall in prices is among the smaller price movements up or down. It has been described as relatively small or a mild fall in the wider scheme of things. At the previous auction the price index increased 5 percent and price drops of over 5 percent occurred at auctions in May and June this year. Over the past year the prices have increased by 73 percent so prices for our dairy products remain at elevated levels. Maintaining those elevated levels of course will require the current situation to be handled transparently and effectively.Jami-Lee Ross: What was the initial market analysis of the global dairy trade auction result particularly in respect of indications of future market prices and demand?Hon BILL ENGLISH: Economists said that prices and demand for longer-term contracts for delivery from November were encouraging. Fonterra share prices are up today and are overall down less than 2 percent since the Friday close. The indications are that providing the issue of the potential contamination is handled effectively and transparently the direct impact on the New Zealand economy can be contained.

Maintaining those elevated levels of course will require the current situation to be handled transparently and effectively.Jami-Lee Ross: What was the initial market analysis of the global dairy trade auction result particularly in respect of indications of future market prices and demand?Hon BILL ENGLISH: Economists said that prices and demand for longer-term contracts for delivery from November were encouraging. Fonterra share prices are up today and are overall down less than 2 percent since the Friday close. The indications are that providing the issue of the potential contamination is handled effectively and transparently the direct impact on the New Zealand economy can be contained.

Is there anyone opposed to that course of action? There appears not. Leave is granted.Hon STEVEN JOYCE: This afternoon in the House I said that a gentleman named Andrew Rakich had a financial relationship with KiwiStar Optics. I am advised that that statement is incorrect. My understanding is that he is involved with an organisation that may be seeking to do some work with KiwiStar Optics but he does not have a financial interest in the KiwiStar Optics organisation.

Volume:692;Page:12442. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]12.CHRIS AUCHINVOLE (National)to theMinister of Labour: What recent announcements has he made about health and safety reform in New Zealand?Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Minister of Labour):Today I announced the Government’s response to the recommendations of the Independent Taskforce on Workplace Health and Safety. The reform package Working Safer represents the most significant changes in health and safety at work in 20 years and is essential to meeting our target of reducing the workplace serious injury and death toll by 25 percent by 2020. Achieving the step change required is not something the Government can do alone; it requires leadership and action from businesses and workers and recognition that good health and safety is an aid to good business practice and improved productivity.Chris Auchinvole: What are some of the major aspects of the Working Safer reform package?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: We have broadly accepted all the task force’s recommendations. The reform package includes a new health and safety at work Act; a large increase in funding for WorkSafe New Zealand in order to strengthen enforcement and education; a focus on high-risk areas; a stronger focus on occupational harm and hazardous substances; and stronger penalties enforcement tools and court powers. This reform is the legacy we owe to the Pike River families and the families of the 75 people who are killed each year in our workplaces.Darien Fenton: Are the health and safety reforms compromised by the fact that only 98 out of 158 warranted health and safety inspectors have been recruited and his department is now so desperate it is considering bringing in inspectors from New South Wales at an additional cost of $25000 each per year?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: I do not understand the member’s figures to be correct. From memory the number of health and safety inspectors today is some 116. I think when you include various others including trainees you get to more like 150 or a little more than that within the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment health and safety group. It is also I think right to record that I make no apology for the reform process we have gone through because the fact of the matter is that we did need to improve standards and training and that is what we are about doing.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]7.BARBARA STEWART (NZ First)to theMinister of Health: Is he satisfied with the performance of all district health boards?Hon TONY RYALL (Minister of Health):I am happy and satisfied with the performance of district health boards helping to deliver record immunisation rates for New Zealand children huge improvement in emergency departments seeing patients within the 6-hour target record numbers of heart and diabetes checks faster cancer services so patients do not need to go to Australia record elective surgery and delivering record access to first specialist assessments. However there is always room for improvement and for district health boards to do better particularly with regard to the occasional individual unacceptable case.Barbara Stewart: Is he satisfied that a 90-year-old woman was kicked out of Tokoroa Hospital at 2.30 a.m. on 23 July and was forced to get a neighbour out of bed to come and return her to her home in Pūtāruru?Hon TONY RYALL: No I would not be happy with that. I would have to check that to make sure that the circumstances were correct but I can tell you that that would be unacceptable.Barbara Stewart: Is he satisfied that a patient being referred by his general practitioner to MidCentral District Health Board for a cardiology test was told by the board that he was only a semi-urgent case and that it could not offer him an appointment until January 2014 and told him to see his general practitioner instead?Hon TONY RYALL: If that is the case that I think it is I can advise the member that the district health board provided that patient with incorrect information and they will be getting I understand an appointment much sooner than that.Barbara Stewart: When will we see an end to this treatment of an increasing number of vulnerable elderly patients who under his watch have been shunted out of hospitals in the early hours of the morning and into the night?Hon TONY RYALL: I simply reject that claim. The fact is that under our Government we are providing better emergency department service faster. That member only needs to cast her mind back to the Government that her party supported under Labour where patients—old people—waited in the North Shore Hospital emergency department for 3 days on end under bright fluorescent lights and she continued to support that party.

I can confirm that the Government has committed funds towards advertising to assist with this public information campaign. The Director-General of the Ministry for Primary Industries has also advised me that he will be holding a press conference today to provide a further update on the process he has undertaken to resolve this issue. Parents and caregivers should continue to check the Ministry for Primary Industries website for updates and should call PlunketLine and Healthline if they have any health concerns.Paul Foster-Bell: What cross-Government work is happening in terms of public safety relating to infant formula?Hon NIKKI KAYE: I am advised that the Ministry for Primary Industries is continuing to work closely with the Ministry of Health to help ensure public safety. The Hon Tony Ryall has informed me that Plunket nurses are today contacting as many Plunket mothers as possible whom they know are using infant formula to ensure they are aware of the recall. The Government also wants to ensure that this message is accessible for mums and dads in New Zealand and abroad. The Ministry for Primary Industries has advised me that there will be documents in different languages relating to the recall available on the Ministry for Primary Industries website.
