Hayes Jo; Rurawhe AdrianJO HAYES (National): Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker. And yes we were all taken up with that previous speech—could've gone on for ever.I stand to take a call on the Health and Safety at Work (Volunteer Associations) Amendment Bill and I want to congratulate my colleague Harete Hipango the MP for Whanganui for having this bill drawn out of the biscuit tin and very quickly too as I believe. So well done Harete.I think this is quite an interesting bill in that I'm in a volunteer organisation. We run actually a shearing show—and yeah there are a lot of hazards there. None of us get paid to do it obviously. Nobody actually gets paid for it yet we all seem to look after each other. I've also managed an organisation that's had volunteers work for us and we have included them in our health and safety policies.But I also look at it when we have volunteer organisations that are only small—they have maybe one volunteer person or person that is on a payroll who's only working for about five to 10 hours a week and yet they are expected to have a big cumbersome piece of policy just for them.I think that what this bill is trying to do—it's a sensible bill. It's a practical bill. It does actually exclude those organisations—those volunteer organisations—with workers doing less than 100 hours a week from actually having to go through the cost of actually administrating the whole process around safety at work policies. I want to say that because there are people who say that the administration costs may not be a problem—but they are. They take a lot of time and a lot of people's time just doing all of this work and when you're only limited to 10 hours a week or 20 hours a week—if that—we don't want to have our volunteer paid people sitting there just working through compliance policy.Iain Lees-Galloway talked about volunteers volunteering in a registered workplace. Well those people actually do come in under the Health and Safety at Work Act. Therefore I start to look at what exactly was Lees-Galloway actually trying to say here. I thought there was a lot of yelling and posturing on that side when he was trying to say something—which totally absolutely confused me—and I thought it was this side of the House that actually brought in the Health and Safety at Work Act. We did that in recognition of all of those people that work in this sector to protect them. I know that working in a farming district we went through a number of iterations on our property and on neighbours' property to make sure that we were compliant to the Health and Safety at Work Act. It took a while for that to bed in but we've come through it and everybody's where they should be.I want to acknowledge the work of volunteers and the many hours that they put in just to make sure that our whole community runs smoothly. Without the volunteer sector we wouldn't really have a very strong community development sector at all. I've seen it I've witnessed it and I've watched it. That is why I stand here today and I applaud this bill. I applaud what Harete Hipango has put forward. I'm saying thank you to New Zealand First for supporting the bill to the select committee process. I think there is where you'll have your debates about the ins and outs and where the bill will go. I think it's a great start and I say to Harete congratulations again. I wish the select committee all the best. I look forward to this bill coming back out for its final reading and for assent. So without any further ado I commend this bill to the House. Thank you.Marja Lubeck: Mr Assistant Speaker.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): OK. Are you seeking the call?Jan Logie: Yes Mr Assistant Speaker.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): I call Jan Logie.
