Patterson MarkHon MARK PATTERSON (NZ First): Thank you Madam Speaker. I rise on behalf of New Zealand First to also support this legislation through the third reading. It's legislation that's obviously a little bit complex for us because we were part of bringing into play this piece of legislation that's being repealed. There were some issues within the sector that had been highlighted. There were some cowboys out there. It was a sector in need of a tidy up. But the solution that has come to pass that we're repealing now has proved to be relatively ineffective as far as we've been able to ascertain in regard that it's actually costing more than we're able to recover from it. There has been a tidy up which has given Minister of Forestry McClay and the coalition Government the confidence to make a more voluntary trust-based scheme available in terms of what's already out there with the New Zealand Institute of Forestry (NZIF) and the registration system that they have.As Mr Cameron just alluded to a key theme within this coalition has been about cutting red tape getting unnecessary regulatory burden away from the primary sector and indeed the wider economy as a whole. This is core to the theme of what we are doing here today.The forestry industry is as has been alluded to a large contributor—I think some $6 billion to the New Zealand economy. But picking up on the comments of Peeni Henare we absolutely do need to grow that through more value-add in New Zealand and a manufacturing base—regrowing that. There is some good stuff happening out there as you get around. Indeed it's not just timber; it is things like biofuels and biochar and the like that are other uses for timbers—maybe not the premium cuts or slabs but some of the offcuts and the slash which is something obviously that's been of some concern in terms of making sure we'd better do a job of tidying that up. So we are able to monetise some of that stuff as well. So Minister McClay and his—we'll be keeping a very close eye on engaging with him on his plans to grow the sector because we think there is a big swing back to natural fibres. There is quite a lot of flexibility in what you can do with timber beyond just building and framing.Without further ado I think that summarises New Zealand First's position. We do recognise that the previous legislation had been ineffective and had added cost. We're happy to support the Minister in repealing it letting a higher-trust model through the NZIF be the industry standard I guess. As someone who has sold forestry blocks before—as the Green member Hūhana Lyndon alluded to—when you're doing that you do have to get a trusted third party involved or third parties but that's not that hard. In rural New Zealand you know who the good operators are—you just talk to your neighbours you talk to other people in the industry; they'll give you a short list of people for who you can go out and engage and get quotes and the like. So probably we had a solution looking for a problem in that sense. So New Zealand First is happy to support this legislation.DEPUTY SPEAKER: Thank you. The next call is a split call and I've been advised by the Māori Party that there'll be two Green speakers with five minutes each. So I will call Steve Abel.
