King Colin: Education Amendment Bill — In Committee Speaker Recalled In CommitteeText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeKing Colin: Education Amendment Bill — In Committee Speaker Recalled In Committee[Sitting date: 29 May 2013. Volume:690;Page:10545. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]COLIN KING (National—Kaikōura): We will have to push back at some of the false statements that have been claimed in this debate on the Education Amendment Bill.Hon Trevor Mallard: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I just want to seek an assurance that notes being written by officials are not being handed to a backbench member of Parliament. That is a gross breach of the understandings of the rights of the officials to sit in the Chamber. Their notes are for only the Minister in the chair and it appears that they have been supplied to a backbench member. If that is the case they are not allowed in the Chamber.The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy): I think the member is quite right that that is a practice that is not accepted in the Chamber but I have no evidence that they have—[Interruption] Order! I am on my feet. Notes can appear from all directions.Hon Trevor Mallard: I saw it being carried.The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy): By whom?Hon Trevor Mallard: It was brought across by a messenger and then to the member.The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy): From whom?Hon Michael Woodhouse: I delivered the note.The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy): The member will continue. We will observe—Hon Trevor Mallard: It was brought from the Minister to him and it was written by an official.The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy): Colin King.COLIN KING: The point I wish to push back at is around the claims the Ombudsman made about things being all nasty and damaging. It was quite interesting when we drew a comparison that private schools are not actually subject to the Official Information Act. Early childhood education providers are not subject to the OfficialInformation Act and nor are private training institutions. So what we are hearing from the other side is a massive exaggeration.When the Ombudsman did come and talk to us the analogy that the Ombudsman used was private prisons. What we are talking about here is not restraining and holding people inside an institution; we are actually providing them with choice. So those statements and the scaremongering that is coming from the other side are quite baseless. There are precedents for other institutions that are not accountable to the Official Information Act.Another point that I want to just clarify is around the rules of the Education Act 1989. These partnership schools are accountable to those rules around having processes. They are accountable to the Education Review Office. There are a whole number of processes that will empower parents and the way the contract is constructed means they will need to be able to convince the Minister of Education and the ministry that the person who is not a registered teacher has outstanding skills and qualities. So I am greatly heartened by the prospect of this bill and what it will contribute to the educational potential of those people who need that uplifting experience of success and I support this bill.

Calder Cam: Education Amendment Bill — In Committee Speaker Recalled In CommitteeText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeCalder Cam: Education Amendment Bill — In Committee Speaker Recalled In Committee[Sitting date: 29 May 2013. Volume:690;Page:10517. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Dr CAM CALDER (National): Thank you for the call Mr Chairman; it is exceptionally civil of you. Four out of five New Zealanders are doing exceptionally well. I have spoken in the House before about the extremely good efforts passion and ability of the teachers of many of the schools in Manurewa who are doing an outstanding job. I will again mention Jane Milner at Redoubt North Primary School—outstanding work. Five out of five however is what we are aiming for. Programme for International Student Assessment results show that we are seventh in reading: second if you are Pākehā seventh if you are Asian 34th if you are Māori and 44th if you are Pasifika. The only area where we lead the world is in the Programme for International Student Assessment’s inequality ranking. There is no greater gap in achievement than that of students in this country and this inequality is one of the strands that this initiative is aiming to address—one of the strands that this initiative is aiming to address.So to correct a point that was raised by one of the speakers it is not going to be put into decile 10 areas; it is going to be placed in areas with a high concentration of Māori Pasifika and low socio-economic students where they can benefit from it. There are no predetermined locations. The authorisation board will assess all the applications and decide upon its placing of the schools on individual merit—on individual merit.Dr Rajen Prasad: What?Dr CAM CALDER: The Center for Research on Education Outcomes report has been updated—just for the benefit of my colleague on the other side of the Chamber—and in fact there are a number of instances where the centre lauds the achievements and the attainments of charter schools in the United States. That of course is largely immaterial because we are developing our own New Zealand model. I commend this bill the Education Amendment Bill to the House.

Volume:690;Page:10492. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]11.Dr PAUL HUTCHISON (National—Hunua) to theMinister of Health: What investments in Budget 2013 is this Government making to provide more health and development checks for children under five?Hon TONY RYALL (Minister of Health): Budget 2013 has increased the Government’s investment in B4 School Checks by $7 million over the next 4 years which means that more New Zealand children can have the best possible start before they begin school. The Government currently invests just over $9 million a year in B4 School Checks and Budget 2013 will increase this total to nearly $11 million a year. This funding will be used to increase coverage of the B4 School Check programme from 80 percent to 90 percent of under-fives which is a significant improvement from only a few years ago when only around half of all 4-year-old children had received a B4 School Check despite a promise in 2005 to bring it in in a few weeks’ time.Dr Paul Hutchison: Why are B4 School Checks important?Hon TONY RYALL: The B4 School Check aims to identify and address any health behavioural social or developmental concerns—yes developmental concerns—that could affect a child’s ability to learn and children are referred to an appropriate health education or social service for further help and support if required. Since B4 School Checks began in 2008 191500 4-year-olds have received a free health and development check and 82 percent of eligible 4-year-olds have received a B4 School Check since July last year. This additional funding announced by the Government will help particularly with improving access to B4 School Checks for those children living in our more deprived communities here in New Zealand.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I seek leave for the qualified Dr Paul Hutchison to ask another question of the unqualified Minister.Mr SPEAKER: Order! That is not a genuine point of order.

Volume:690;Page:10490. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]8.Hon KATE WILKINSON (National—Waimakariri) to theMinister of Justice: What recent action has been taken to protect victims of serious violent and sexual offences?Hon JUDITH COLLINS (Minister of Justice): This week I have introduced the Victims’ Orders Against Violent Offenders Bill creating a new order to protect victims from unwanted contact or harassment by their attackers. Victims of serious violent and sexual offences will be able to apply for a non-contact order where the offender has been sentenced to 5 years or more in prison. A judge will be able to make an order prohibiting the offender from contacting the victim or from entering living or working in a particular area so that the victim can feel some level of safety.Hon Kate Wilkinson: What other steps is the Government taking to support victims of crime?Hon JUDITH COLLINS: The Victims of Crime Reform Bill implements the Government’s reform package for victims of crime. This bill which is awaiting its second reading introduces a victims’ code to provide victims with better information support. Agencies will be required to record information on the services for victims complaints received and how they were resolved and the use of victim impact statements will be enhanced in court proceedings.Jacinda Ardern: Has she raised concerns with the Minister for Social Development that due to the end of the Community Response Fund services like the Help Foundation and Wellington Rape Crisis are losing almost $75000 per annum and already have long waiting lists for those who have experienced sexual violence?Hon JUDITH COLLINS: On the contrary the Minister for Social Development has raised the issue with me with another portfolio hat on. I can assure the member that a very good announcement will be coming out very soon.

Volume:690;Page:10486. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]5.COLIN KING (National—Kaikōura) to theMinister for Economic Development: How is Budget 2013 advancing the Government’s work to build a more productive and competitive economy?Hon STEVEN JOYCE (Minister for Economic Development): Through Budget 2013 the Government is investing an additional $400 million over 4 years in the Government’s Business Growth Agenda in a range of measures to help make the New Zealand economy more productive and competitive. The internationally focused growth package includes $106 million of new funding for extra research and development for businesses and supporting start-ups; a further $93.5 million for public science including the National Science Challenges and the Marsden Fund; an additional $158 million for high-value tourism; $40 million for promoting New Zealand to international students; and $2 million for launching the New Zealand Story. The package is designed to support the Government’s comprehensive plan to grow our exports and create more and higher-paying jobs for New Zealanders and their families.Colin King: What plan does the Government have to boost our exports?Hon STEVEN JOYCE: The Government has set an ambitious target to grow our exports as a percentage of GDP from 30 percent to 40 percent by 2025 and the Business Growth Agenda sets out to achieve that. Meeting this target will requirenominal export growth on average of between 6.7 percent and 7.6 percent over that period. Recent statistics show that annual export growth in the last 4 years has averaged 4.6 percent despite the unusually high New Zealand dollar and the lingering effects of the global financial crisis. The aim of the internationally focused growth package is to help accelerate this growth over the medium term and in particular to build on the opportunities that exist in emerging markets like China India South-east Asia Latin America and the Middle East.Colin King: What is the Government’s investment in research science and innovation and how does this compare with past funding?Hon STEVEN JOYCE: It compares very well. The Government’s additional investment of $200 million over 4 years in this package brings our total cross-portfolio funding for science innovation and research in Budget 2013 to $1.36 billion including $141.5 million for research and development grants this year which represents the largest co-investment ever with high-tech firms. This compares with annual funding of less than $1 billion in total under the previous Government and a research and development tax credit scheme that achieved little more than businesses recategorising existing expenditure as research and development.

But if I was to hazard a guess—and it should be seen in those terms because I do not want to mislead the House; the reason it would be a guess is that I am pretty sure it would be right—I am sure that the committee chairman would have seen that Mr Peters was attempting to use parliamentary privilege to say something he did not have the courage to say outside.

There is ample precedent on such an occasion for the Speaker to ask for—Mr SPEAKER: Order! I have heard quite enough. The Speaker has the right to decide his action when a comment like that is made. I chose to ask the Prime Minister to withdraw; he has done so.

I do find it offensive to have a statement like that made and now I have got ample—Mr SPEAKER: Order! If the member was offended by that statement then the member should have immediately risen to his feet and said that he was offended but he did not do that.Rt Hon Winston Peters: The reason why I was not called was that someone else got the call first and then you stood up and on the first available opportunity to me I protested and that is what should be guiding your judgment.Mr SPEAKER: If the member is now saying that he took personal offence to that comment—Rt Hon Winston Peters: I do.Mr SPEAKER: —then I will now ask the Prime Minister to stand withdraw and apologise because the member has taken offence.Rt Hon JOHN KEY: I withdraw and apologise.

Volume:690;Page:10558. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]CHRIS HIPKINS (Senior Whip—Labour): I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. There is a well-established convention in the Committee that when a Minister participates in a debate the Opposition will be given sufficient opportunity to respond. The Minister has responded twice now to comments that I made in the very first speech on this debate. She has been given two calls responding in quite an inflammatory manner to comments that I have made. I have been seeking the call ever since then and have not been given it. This is supposed to be a debate and shutting that debate down while the Minister is making comments that the Opposition is not given a chance to respond to is totally wrong.

We have seen notes repeatedly being written by officials and then being directed to Colin King in this case. He had at least two of them. Mr Chairman I would like a ruling from you. First of all I would like confirmation from Mr King that that was the case or that was not the case and a ruling from you as to the fact that that is inappropriate.

I think you will be aware because you were here when urgency used to be a regular feature of Saturdays that the Saturday business dress tended to be slightly less formal—as it is in most businesses—than it might be Monday to Thursday or in some cases on Friday. I think Speakers have taken a more relaxed attitude on a Friday. I can remember Roger Douglas here in a jacket and a jersey. He apparently had a collar and tie underneath but the jersey was polo neck so you could not even tell.

I wish to draw a matter to your attention to do with standard of dress in the Chamber. I see there is a member opposite who has graced the Chamber with his presence this morning wearing a jersey. It is correct that he is also wearing a jacket over the top of it but I understood the required standard of dress was business attire. I have had a lot of dealings in business settings over many years. I have not yet seen a business person man or woman wearing a jersey in a business setting. I just wonder whether you might consider whether or not the member is suitably dressed for this Chamber.

I should not have cast those votes and I am afraid I was made aware of that only after I had done so.

Thank you for the opportunity to stand and support this Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 Amendment Bill at its third reading. This Government has got a very focused growth agenda. It is ensuring that this economy grows and jobs are created for New Zealanders. I agree with Andrew Williams that we need infrastructure. We need schools roads—all those things. This Government has been working on this for the last 4 years or 5 years. I can assure you that this will continue and it will support all the job opportunities being created. I commend this bill to the House.

Volume:690;Page:10294. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Peseta SAM LOTU-IIGA (National—Maungakiekie): I rise to take a quick call on the third reading of this bill the Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 Amendment Bill. This National Government was elected to provide an environment where jobs and opportunities for all New Zealanders would be created. When you talk to people out in the communities out in the streets of Auckland in the provinces and rural communities what do they want? They want jobs. They want opportunities. They want independence for their families.What we have just heard from Gareth Hughes and Clint and his mates is that they do not want jobs. They do not want to create opportunities for people out in our communities. I challenge Clint and Gareth Hughes to come out and talk to people out in the communities that I represent. What they want is jobs. They want to feed their families. They want to clothe their families. They want to educate their kids to live a Kiwi lifestyle that they have been used to. I challenge Gareth Hughes to do that. This petroleum and minerals industry employs 7000 people—$1.8 billion. It has the potential to create 40000 more jobs and $12 billion a year for our country. That is what it has the potential to do and this Government supports that notion that we should beproviding jobs for those people in our communities. I support this bill because it is our future. It is about our families our communities and their independence and particularly it is about our children. I commend this bill to the House.

Volume:690;Page:10299. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Dr JIAN YANG (National): Wo hen hao xiexie. I believe that my colleague Jonathan Young knows Taranaki much much better than the previous speaker Mr Andrew Little. So when Jonathan says that Mr Little is wrong Mr Little must be wrong.As I said at the first reading the aim of this bill the Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 Amendment Bill is to encourage the safe and sensible development of Crown-owned minerals by streamlining and simplifying the Crown minerals regulatory regime and by ensuring better coordination of regulatory agencies. This bill provides commercial certainty to operators who obtained their mining licences under earlier regimes and who are covered by transitional arrangements. It also clarifies how data confidentiality and reporting requirements will apply to all existing privilege holders. Under Labour no real action was taken to regulate offshore extraction of oil gas and mineral resources and/or to protect our seas.This bill shows that the National-led Government is developing our resources in a responsible manner. It will create higher-paid jobs raise our standards of living and build a more productive economy for all New Zealanders. So I support this bill and commend it to the House. Thank you.
