Foss Craig: Dairy Industry Restructuring (New Sunset Provisions) Amendment Bill — Third Reading 
[Sitting date: 11 May 2011. Volume:672;Page:18611. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
CRAIG FOSS (National—Tukituki) 
: 
 I have just a couple of points. I appreciate and thank the previous speaker Ashraf Choudhary for his endorsement of the bill that was before the House previously for the Environment Protection Authority formation. The issues he talked about were exactly some of the issues that the new body which many of his colleagues were opposed to will deal with but I am glad to hear that he supports it. That is very good.  
The previous speaker bemoaned the fact that with the Dairy Industry Restructuring (New Sunset Provisions) Amendment Bill there may be Chinese investors investing in the New Zealand dairy industry. I remind members that the China free-trade agreement was initiated under the previous Labour Government and formalised and signed by the National Government. The point is that when the Labour Government initiated those discussions and negotiations such issues were on the table and were discussed negotiated and forecast. So it is interesting to hear that the other side now does not want investment from China—the same country that Labour initiated the free-trade agreement with. Labour got the free-trade ball rolling with China and that to be fair has served New Zealand so well. There seems to be a contradiction there.  
Another speaker talked about returns to farmers not getting to the farm gate. That is quite right but of course dairy farmers are also shareholders in the distribution and facilitation agency Fonterra. That is how they share in the upside of that industry. Maybe some more thought needs to go into those points.  
I am on the Primary Production Committee. I particularly enjoyed the discussion and what the bill has achieved. I acknowledge the majority of members from the other side who are voting for the bill. The bill sets new market-share thresholds and new changes as other members have spoken about for the North Island and South Island. The bill brings in the West Coast of the South Island as part of the South Island. It may be news to West Coasters that they were deemed not to be part of the South Island but subsequent to Mr Chris Auchinvole coming in they are now part of New Zealand. That is an improvement and an upgrade from the MP there.  
We also had an interesting discussion about milk solids versus raw milk. I particularly enjoyed that discussion. I learnt a lot from my learned colleagues who are involved in the industry. The committee came together on many of the issues. Many speakers also acknowledge that a great review of the industry is going on which Minister Carter recently announced. We all look forward to that. I also look forward to it coming before the select committee. Thank you.

Correction—Environmental Protection Authority Bill 
KEITH LOCKE (Green) 
: 
 I seek leave to correct a mistake that the Green Party made in voting on an amendment to the Environmental Protection Authority Bill yesterday—Rahui Katene’s amendment to include new clause 3A “Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi)” in Part 1. The Green Party accidently cast 9 votes in the negative when the intention was to cast 9 votes in the affirmative. Similarly a mistake was made in the proxy votes for Chris Carter and Hone Harawira. 
Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER 
: Leave is sought to correct that vote. Is there any objection? There is no objection. Leave has been granted. The new vote is Ayes 72 Noes 48. The record will be altered accordingly.

Jones Shane: Aquaculture Legislation Amendment Bill (No 3) — In Committee 
[Sitting date: 16 August 2011. Volume:675;Page:20945. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
Hon SHANE JONES (Labour) 
: 
 I apologise to the people of Whangarei who watched their member the Hon Phil Heatley. We sought to improve his general presentation by warning him about his collar. He continued to keep his hand in his pants. I cannot comment on whether there is a connection in that regard. But it is important that I come back to the matters at hand.  
We heard from Sandra Goudie about fish farming etc. in the Coromandel. How many years has that member wandered around destroying the roads and worsening the environment? In the final portion of her largely undistinguished career a small—a tiny—part of the Hauraki Gulf is dedicated to fish farming and we are meant to see that as some sort of super victory. If the Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture was genuine in regard to fish farming up and down Aotearoa as we say in Maori there would not be a wahapu a harbour a bay or a cove blocked. This is a very small zone and unfortunately I fear because Doug Kidd was involved in establishing the zone that it could be located in the wrong area.  
Having said that we are prepared to be magnanimous and we are prepared to take into account the overarching interests of our nation and not focus on the member from that Coromandel - Tikapa Moana area. In all seriousness though we wish her well in whatever mangrove tree she might strike in the future. 
Hon Members 
: Oh! 
Hon SHANE JONES 
: We do.  
I feel the need for constitutional propriety having talked about mangroves and that member. That sort of suggests impropriety. It is important that I come back to the Aquaculture Legislation Amendment Bill (No 3) because—I do not need to read the bill; I know exactly what this portion is dealing with—we support the ability of local government etc. and central government to improve the economic output in the area of Waikato and in the area of Tasman ensuring that where suitable we can actually farm.  
I want to know when members on that side of the House will consent to the farming of trout. They boast their credentials. Their echo chamber otherwise known as Federated Farmers has all sorts of interesting things to say about trout. When will we see a suitable level of boldness in that regard? I predict that in many of the areas set aside we may see kingfish but as the Maoris of the far north have learnt that is an exercise in fiscal self-immolation. We may see hapuku and I wonder whether we will see any sea horses. [ 
Interruption 
] I have been warned by Grant Robertson the mild-mannered liberal to my left: “Jonesy don’t go there. Keep going keep going. You were doing reasonably well until you lapsed in that regard.”  
We will be supporting this part. It will not be easy. It will be controversial but we are prepared to bear the burden. Thank you.

This bill seeks to rectify the impact of an unintentional legislative change that had the potential to hinder the effectiveness of the police’s efforts to resolve crime and reduce further offending by youth. By restoring the ability of police to retain the identifying particulars of youth we will ensure that police have one of the essential tools required to reduce offending and victimisation and to increase the overall safety of the public.  
In addition I note that parties in the House have had advance copies of the bill—some parties more advance than others. I would like to thank members for keeping the confidentiality with which I trusted them and I congratulate them on that. I commend this bill to the House.

Heatley Phil: Aquaculture Legislation Amendment Bill (No 3) — In Committee 
[Sitting date: 16 August 2011. Volume:675;Page:20944. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
Hon PHIL HEATLEY (Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture) 
: 
 This part of the Aquaculture Legislation Amendment Bill (No 3) is the part on which the Ministry of Fisheries team worked tirelessly with those in the industry councils Te Ohu Kaimoana iwi across the country and a large number of interested parties.  
This part amends the Resource Management Act 1991 to streamline aquaculture planning and consenting. It simplifies aquaculture planning by removing the requirement for aquaculture management areas to be established before consent applications can be made. This will put aquaculture on the same footing as other coastal activities and will enable councils to plan for it in a similar way.  
Part 4 provides for a new ministerial power to recommend making regulations that will enable the Government to help councils change their plans where change is needed and cannot be achieved through the existing mechanisms. This bill provides for a minimum consent term of 20 years in most cases to provide the industry with an incentive to invest. However it is important to note that this is not a default. We want terms to be longer. I will be explicit: 20 years is a minimum not a target. We would like it to be much higher—up to 35 years.  
Achieving substantial growth in the aquaculture industry requires a shift to higher-value species including finfish. The bill makes changes to Tasman and Waikato regional coastal plans to enable applications for consent to farm a wider range of species including finfish. In Waikato it also allows applications to be made for small extensions to existing farms.  
Changes are proposed to schedule 3 of the bill which contains amendments to the Waikato Regional Coastal Plan to establish a 300-hectare marine farming zone off Coromandel. This 300-hectare zone presents a strategic opportunity to enable New Zealand’s marine farming industry to develop and achieve its goal of $1 billion in annual sales by 2025.

CARMEL SEPULONI (Labour) 
: 
 I stand to speak to Part 2. 
Paul Quinn 
: Get with the programme. 
CARMEL SEPULONI 
: Mr Quinn is telling me to get with the programme; I think Mr Quinn should look in the mirror. I am speaking to Part 2 of the Education Amendment Bill (No 4). Part 2 is about transitional arrangements and amendments to other enactments. Basically when we look at the bill overall—then I will go into more detail just to put it into context—we know that the bill seeks to amend the Education Act. It includes provisions concerned with three broad policy areas. The bill strengthens the regulation of the tertiary education system by improving and modernising the New Zealand Qualifications Authority’s legal arrangements. That is the intention. It facilitates the expansion of international education in New Zealand by establishing Education New Zealand as a Crown agency and it safeguards the quality and reputation of the New Zealand education system by updating and strengthening the New Zealand Qualification Authority’s compliance and enforcement regime.  
We know from some of the things that have occurred in recent times in respect of some of the qualifications offered that some international students have had unfortunate experiences here. They have come here expecting a standard of education or to go into courses that are made up of particular aspects or concentrated on particular areas but there have been issues there. So we support the establishment of this Crown agency to ensure that the quality of our New Zealand education system is upheld. We on this side of the Chamber appreciate—in fact I am sure all of us do as parliamentarians—the importance of the international student market and the fact that it is something that many of our institutions and schools are looking to expand into. We see the Crown agency as an important agency in respect of ensuring that we not only safeguard the quality of the international student market but also grow that market. We see it as something that will increase transparency and accountability in the tertiary education system with regard to compulsory student services fees student loans and student allowances.  
The compulsory student services fees section of this legislation is something that we have discussed in detail. When we look at Part 2 and we look at the transitional arrangements we see that it is fairly straightforward. There is very little that we can comment on. The amendments to the enactments are a necessary component of any legislation like this in terms of outlining what enactments will be amended. As I have said we support wholeheartedly the Crown agency and what that means for our international student market. I will leave it at that. I am sure that members on our side of the Chamber have calls and points that they wish to make. Thank you very much.

[Sitting date: 16 August 2011. Volume:675;Page:20877. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
MELISSA LEE (National) 
: 
 It is a pleasure to rise to take a short call on the second reading of this Policing (Storage of Youth Identifying Particulars) Amendment Bill. As parents we monitor the behaviour of our children and we punish them sometimes to make sure they grow up to be responsible adults. My son recently was grounded because he breached some rules within the house. He lost his use of the internet and his mobile phone and that was a terrible thing. He hated that punishment and he will hopefully not break those rules again. But if he continues to break those rules he will be punished further and maybe the length of punishment will increase. The police do similar things with youth offenders who have been charged and found to be guilty. Having fingerprints and photos helps the police to identify repeat offenders. I am concerned that the data collected since the Policing Bill was enacted in 2008 may be destroyed which would mean that youth offenders might not be dealt with to the full extent of the law. That is my only concern when we are debating this legislation.  
I will go now to a comment made by the Green Party member David Clendon who talked about process. I believe and previous members have actually said that the Policing Bill was debated thoroughly and in fact went through the select committee process. The Law and Order Committee members are not shrinking violets; I know that for a fact. It is the case in this particular current Parliament and I would imagine that the previous Parliament also had very robust debate in the Law and Order Committee. I believe that there would have been debate and it would have been thorough.  
I go to the comment made by the Maori Party member Rahui Katene who spoke passionately about this issue. But if people listened just to her speech alone without actually taking note of the whole context of the debate they would be under the impression that we are introducing new legislation to increase police rights and to take away rights from criminals. That is totally not so. This bill is about restoring police powers that they always had from 1958 to 2008 and that were unintentionally removed. Those powers were inadvertently taken away in a drafting error and this bill is to correct that. I commend this bill.

NIKKI KAYE (National—Auckland Central) 
 to the  
Minister of Internal Affairs 
: What announcements has he made today on improving flexibility for community groups receiving grants from gaming societies? 
Hon NATHAN GUY (Minister of Internal Affairs) 
: 
 Today I am very pleased to announce a change in regulations that means that gaming-machine societies can make multi-year grants from 15 September 2011. Up until now the law meant that only annual grants could be made to the community. This is great news for the many sporting cultural and charity groups that rely on this funding. It will give them the confidence and the flexibility to focus on long-term projects for the benefit of their communities. 
Nikki Kaye 
: What feedback was received during consultation over this change? 
Hon NATHAN GUY 
: Late last year the Department of Internal Affairs consulted with gaming-machine societies problem-gambling organisations and a variety of community arts culture and sporting groups. There was strong support with 50 out of the 56 submissions favouring the change. Overall this reflects the Government’s goal of maximising the returns to the community from the proceeds of gambling while minimising harm.

[Sitting date: 16 August 2011. Volume:675;Page:20959. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
JOHN HAYES (National—Wairarapa) 
: 
 I acknowledge Grant Robertson’s comments about the time that it has taken to get the Trade Marks (International Treaties and Enforcement) Amendment Bill back into the House. As a matter of fact I did query the Minister of Commerce on the very same point and in all fairness he explained that he has been extremely busy. I accept that.  
The reason this bill is in the House tonight in urgency is that we in the National Government are focused on boosting growth and creating jobs. Only a strong economy can provide financial security for families real opportunities for young people safer communities higher-quality education and health services for all New Zealanders.  
Let me move on from the arcane comments that we have heard from earlier speakers just to put a little practical bent on this. This bill is hugely important for example to Metalcraft Industries in Dannevirke— 
Hon Trevor Mallard 
: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I think that if the member wants to reread the Prime Minister’s speech from the National Party conference he could just table it. 
JOHN HAYES 
: Frivolous Mr Deputy Speaker. 
Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER 
: I will not comment on that but I tell John Hayes that we are actually on a bill about trademarks. 
JOHN HAYES 
: That is why I am talking about Metalcraft Industries in Dannevirke and explaining that it has invented a wheelchair that retails in the United States at $25000 apiece. If it were not for the possibility of that company getting trademarks and trade protection there would be no value in research and development for that product at all. I go further north to Takapau where people have invented additions for engines that produce emission-free outputs. They can trademark them and that is giving them protection as well.  
This trademarks legislation will reduce compliance costs and the law sends a strong message that New Zealand is not an easy target for illicit trade in counterfeit goods and pirated works. On that basis I commend this bill to the House. Thank you. 
Bill read a second time.

 to the

 I do not think it is going too far to say that there has been a substantial overhaul of the regulation of the financial sector in order to help to restore investor confidence. This includes establishing the Financial Markets Authority implementing the last Government’s financial adviser regime regulating auditors ensuring trustees and statutory supervisors are licensed introducing prudential regulation of non-bank deposit takers introducing finance company moratorium requirements and requiring financial service providers to be registered and to belong to a dispute resolution scheme.

: Yes. Last week I released the exposure draft of the Financial Markets Conduct Bill which is a long-overdue rewrite of our 33-year-old securities law. [

JACQUI DEAN (National—Waitaki) 
: 
 The Police Act of 1958 put in the provision that the particulars of young people be recorded. It is worthwhile reflecting on the reason for that. The reason is that young people who go through the Youth Court may have made some pretty dumb decisions in committing the crime for which they were convicted so the Parliament of the day back in 1958 made in my view the very sensible decision that by keeping their particulars the police were then able if you like to track those young people if they were to offend again.  
The intention of doing that I guess is to hold those young people to account. I also suggest that if young people knew that their particulars were held on record it might have the effect of making them less likely to offend. That surely was the intention of the New Zealand Parliament in 1958 and again was the intention of the Parliament in 2008.  
There was an oversight and a mistake was made at that time. The Policing (Storage of Youth Identifying Particulars) Amendment Bill seeks to correct that mistake. It enjoys the support of most of this Parliament—quite rightly in my view—in that it holds young people to account and it provides a disincentive for them to offend again. In this second reading speech I again commend the bill to the House.

ALLAN PEACHEY (National—Tamaki) 
: 
 I am pleased to speak in support of the Education Amendment Bill (No 4). As chair of the Education and Science Committee which held the hearings into the bill and reported it back to the House with some constructive changes I would like to acknowledge the role of the select committee including the cooperation of Opposition parties in getting this job done. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance and cooperation of the officials.  
The Minister of Immigration on behalf of the Minister for Tertiary Education has very clearly outlined the provisions of the bill and I do not need to repeat them. I just want to say a couple of things. One is that whether we are talking about the changes to the legal framework of the New Zealand Qualifications Authority the establishment of the new Crown agency Education New Zealand or the power that the Minister is being given to issue directions on student services fees this is good legislation. It is aimed at and it will achieve greater accountability in the tertiary sector. It will achieve higher performance by the sector and it will take New Zealand tertiary education forward into the future.  
I will make just one comment about the arguments being advanced by the Labour Opposition. I am a little bit disappointed in the Opposition members—although they support the bill and we very much appreciate that—for making continual linkages to a piece of legislation that frankly in my mind is irrelevant to this bill. The thrust of this bill as the Opposition well understands—and I reiterate my gratitude to the Opposition for its support and its work on the select committee—is all about rising quality rising accountability a better tertiary education system in New Zealand and a better international student education system. I commend the bill to the House. 
Debate interrupted.

SHANE ARDERN (National—Taranaki - King Country) 
: 
 It is a pleasure to rise in support of the Policing (Storage of Youth Identifying Particulars) Amendment Bill. We have heard quite a revelation in Parliament today on a number of fronts. One that has come as a surprise to me and will be no surprise to Assistant Speaker Ross Robertson as a reasonably long-serving member of the House is that Parliament can make a mistake and individual MPs can make mistakes as can individual Ministers. I thank the Hon Annette King for the genuine way she presented that to Parliament. When I first arrived here 13 years ago the thing that staggered me the most—and this is not a partisan comment in any way—was the huge number of long-serving members of Parliament on both sides of the House who had never made a mistake—ever. Not once not ever. No mistakes had ever been made. So for a senior member of the House to rise and acknowledge that a mistake has been made is quite a step forward.  
The second revelation that I heard today which surprised me equally as much was the fact that the Green Party members are not experts on everything. That has come as a huge surprise to me because for the 13 years that I have been in Parliament they have been experts on everything and they are across all the detail particularly around agricultural emissions and other such things. They are experts and there is no question about it. To learn today that they are not experts on everything is quite a revelation. 
I do not buy into the conspiracy theory that has been espoused by one or two speakers. I can see there has been a genuine mistake and this is the response to that. I think there will be pretty much widespread support across the House for these amendments and I look forward to the passage of them through Parliament. Thank you.

SHANE ARDERN (National—Taranaki - King Country) 
: 
 I rise again in support of the Policing (Storage of Youth Identifying Particulars) Amendment Bill. I was interested in the comments of the previous speaker Rahui Katene. I suspect that the heartfelt appeal the member made on behalf of the Maori Party for Maori youth is misguided in this debate. This debate is not about introducing something that is not there already; it is about correcting a mistake that was made inadvertently by Parliament. I suspect that the debate the member would like to have is on whether these records should be kept. That will be a debate for another time and on other legislation.  
I was also interested to hear the comments from the Green member David Clendon. He suggested that the Green Party had not been taken into the confidence of the Government over this bill. Confidence goes both ways. If the Greens had been taken into the confidence of the Government and the information contained within the proposals had been let out into the public arena then that would have created some problems for the police and potential costs to the justice system. So the member should perhaps go back and talk to the co-leaders of his own caucus and ask why they feel that the party might not have been taken into confidence. As we have just heard from Rahui Katene the Maori Party was taken into confidence and its members maintained that confidence. That is the challenge I throw out there and I look forward to a response to that.  
I would also like to bring to the attention of the House that if these amendments were not able to be made in the way they have been then there is a high probability that there would be some potential further litigation or appeal against some of the information that has been kept which would have wasted the time of the Ministry of Justice and the police and achieved nothing.  
Finally I am pleased that the member Mr Hipkins raised the fact that I am now no longer in the age group that is eligible to be affected by this bill but I suggest to the member that he should pay very close attention to the detail of this bill because his own records may still be captured under the provisions being discussed. I suspect that he will pay attention to the detail. Thank you.

JO GOODHEW (National—Rangitata) 
: 
 My call will be brief; it really has already been said. The Education Amendment Bill (No 4) is about National’s key message. We believe in getting the most out of every dollar that the taxpayers of New Zealand spend on tertiary education. We also want to know that students are getting value for money. We want better performance from students and the tertiary education organisations and we want a simpler funding system. We are committed to supporting students and moving towards a more accountable higher-performing tertiary education sector.  
Many members opposite have commended this bill and have said that it is a good bill and I also believe that that heads us in exactly the right direction. Thank you.

Dr CAM CALDER (National) 
: 
 It is a pleasure to rise and take a brief call on the Policing (Storage of Youth Identifying Particulars) Amendment Bill. This is an enjoyable collegial debate and as I look across the House I see that members opposite all seem to be freshly scrubbed despite the comment made by a previous speaker Chris Hipkins as to his own feeling of lack of cleanliness. 
Chris Hipkins 
: It’s not a good idea to slag the Opposition off when we’re supporting you you know. 
Dr CAM CALDER 
: Not at all; I was saying how well scrubbed the Opposition is looking.  
The speaker did make a good point—in fact a number of good points—and that was that this bill will not extend any powers of the police despite the concerns expressed by a previous speaker to my right. It will not extend any police powers at all; it will just retain the status quo. Parliament is acknowledging that we made an error in the previous Parliament. The legislation was made by that Parliament and it had an unintended consequence which was not picked up at the time. The reason for this amendment bill is to remove that unintended consequence which would allow guilty youths potentially guilty parties to escape consequences of their acts and win an appeal on a technicality. We will have the opportunity to debate this bill further during the course of its progress through the House and at this point in time I commend the bill to the House.

SHANE ARDERN (National—Taranaki - King Country) 
: 
 It is a pleasure to rise in support of the legislation arising from the Aquaculture Amendment Bill (No 3) tonight. It was interesting to listen to the previous contribution from the other side of the House. The member Shane Jones made a fine contribution in the Primary Production Committee I hasten to add and I thank him for that. But we must wonder when we listen to that contribution what that member and his party were doing for 9 long years in regard to aquaculture amendment and the development of aquaculture in New Zealand. We must wonder about that very elusive contribution.  
This legislation amends the Resource Management Act the Fisheries Act 1996 the Maori Commercial Aquaculture Claims Settlement Act 2004 and the Aquaculture Reform (Repeals and Transitional Provisions) Act 2004. That has been long overdue I hasten to add. The select committee received the bill on 16 November 2010. The closing date for submissions was 11 February 2011. We received 120 submissions from interested groups all over New Zealand and we heard 57 of them including during a day in Auckland. The end result of that was as the previous member described a fractured submission process and a fractured industry that clearly needed to see some leadership. 
I thank the Hon Shane Jones for his contribution. It was too late coming but we have it now. I thank him for his support. I look forward to the passage of this bill through Parliament.
