Carter DavidRt Hon DAVID CARTER (National): I will make a brief contribution noting three points many of which have been covered by the contributions of members of the National Opposition and by some Government Ministers. Firstly this is a continuation of the modernisation of IRD's technical ability. This has been a journey that has gone over more than the two Governments. It has been a substantial investment of tens of millions of dollars and I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the IRD for the way that it has initiated the Business Transformation system. Not only has the system been very successfully initiated and settled allowing legislation such as this to be before the House tonight but equally the whole culture of IRD to me seems to have changed. The only thing they need to do is be prepared to answer their phones with a little more alacrity than they do at the moment. I want to also comment on two Supplementary Order Papers. First Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) 293 which is in the name of the Hon Kris Faafoi and shouldn't be in the name of the Hon Kris Faafoi. It should be in the name of Nicola Willis the National member of Parliament—the most active member of Parliament in the whole of the Wellington region. She was aware of the issue regarding Tim Fairhall. I sat at the Finance and Expenditure Committee when this delightful young man appeared before the select committee. He's a person that has Down syndrome. He's still managed to work a full working week at the supermarket. He was impressive. He was articulate. He came before the select committee and said I'm unlikely to live to 65. My brother is in Italy. My best friend is in Canada. I want the opportunity to use my KiwiSaver to go before I die and catch up with my brother and my best friend." Nicola Willis then prepared a member's bill that was before this House could have been accepted by this House—no Labour decided to play politics with it. But the good news is that at least we have the amendment now to be voted on in the committee of the whole House stage which gives Tim Fairhall his opportunity to use his KiwiSaver in the event that he doesn't reach 65. So that's a success.The second SOP I wish to comment on is of course in the name of the excellent member for Hunua Andrew Bayly. He has rightfully pointed out this capricious greedy Government has noted that when PIE tax rates are incorrectly filled out 550000 New Zealanders have therefore underpaid their tax and yet this Government's gone and grabbed that money off them. But by comparison we have 950000 New Zealanders who through putting down the wrong PIE rate have actually been overtaxed to the tune of $42 million. And there's an amendment advanced by Andrew Bayly which this House will have the opportunity to vote on. It is the opportunity to give back to those 950000 New Zealanders that have accidentally overpaid their tax what is due to them. So I suspect the Government won't support it; $42 million is important when you're running at deficits when you're running a slush fund of $3 billion under the name of the Hon Shane Jones and attempting to buy a seat in Northland. And I'll tell this House he won't be successful at that. Not a chance. But there is a chance for the Labour Government to do what's right with this legislation: to vote to support the amendment in the name of Andrew Bayly and give back to those 950000 New Zealanders their overpaid tax because it's actually their money. It shouldn't be used and frittered away by this Labour - New Zealand First - Greens Government."
