The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Rick Barker) 
: If the member is asking me to make a ruling I will make a ruling. My ruling is that if the member wishes to have a bill postponed then the only avenue the member has for that is by way of leave. The member does not have available to him a motion of the House to postpone the bill. That is the only avenue. The House has decided that this is the business to be done and having made that decision the House’s decision stands. If the member wanted to put that amendment he should have done it at the time the urgency motion was put forward.

: 
 I will not abuse the leave of the Committee so I will be very brief. This is quite technical stuff but essentially Mr Mallard officials and I have gone away and looked at the relevant statutes and the interpretation of them and have come to a position where we are satisfied that the concerns that he was expressing relating to the application to particular members are not in fact valid concerns. This legislation is essentially remedial in terms of the 2007 legislation but the depth of the definition relating to accommodation actually covers the situation he was expressing concern about. Essentially we are satisfied.

 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. Can I just get the attention of the Minister in the chair the Hon Peter Dunne because what we now regard as a possible real question has come up. I seek leave for the debate on Part 4 to be dealt with subsequent to the last part of the bill—Part 7. I would just like— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I think the member is asking that the debate be postponed to become the last debate in the Committee of the— 
Hon TREVOR MALLARD 
: The last part of the debate. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: —the last part to be debated so we would move to Part 5 now then revert to Part 4. The member is asking for that because he believes he has discovered something that needs some consideration. 
Hon TREVOR MALLARD 
: That is right. To make it beyond all doubt the leave would not interfere with the urgency motion. It would just give an opportunity for some advice to be sought.

Hon PETER DUNNE 
: I am not persuaded by the course of action the member is proposing but I do concede there are some issues we need to work through. Maybe with the indulgence of the Committee if this debate were to proceed for not an interminable amount longer but for a little longer during the course of it we might be able to resolve the issues more rapidly. So I am not in favour of leave being granted but I would allow the indulgence to perhaps run for another couple of speakers while we just sort this particular issue out.

Brownlee Gerry: Taxation (GST and Remedial Matters) Bill — In Committee Speaker Recalled In Committee Procedure Third Reading 
[Volume:669;Page:16139] 
Hon GERRY BROWNLEE (Leader of the House) 
: 
 Given the quality of the debate this afternoon I am not surprised that two members were competing to close it down. But let me suggest that Standing Order 132 in its various provisions makes it abundantly clear that any member can move a closure motion. Further the issue of yielding has not been a factor in the Standing Orders since the beginning of the MMP Parliament which was some 14-odd years ago. My third point is that it is not unusual for the Speaker to look to the more senior MP and give him or her the opportunity to speak and in this case that was the senior whip. It is hard to imagine who in Parliament at the time might have been more senior. There is no breach of the Standing Orders here nor is there any breach of convention here. The closure motion was properly put according to the prescribed words that are required to be used. The Chairman of the Committee—or I should say the Acting Speaker—has done totally the right thing in accepting that closure motion putting to the vote the question whether the debate should be closed and now being in a position to put the question.

[Volume:669;Page:16140] 
Hon TREVOR MALLARD (Labour—Hutt South) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I do not want to seem to be trifling at all with your ruling Mr Assistant Speaker Roy but I think there is a very basic point that you have misunderstood in making your ruling and that is the difference between the role of the Speaker and the role of the Chair. You have gone to factors to be taken into account by the Speaker under Standing Order 102. That of course is subject to Standing Order 105 which is about members being able to speak only once except where otherwise provided to any question before the House. Of course there is no occasion when the Speaker is in the Chair where there is an ability for a member to speak other than in reply and I do not think anyone is suggesting that this is the case. There are very few occasions these days when there are motions before the House where there is a reply; it used to be something that was more frequent. I do not think anyone would suggest that in this case Mr Tremain was speaking in reply because he was not the Minister in the chair and he was not moving the motion. 
Standing Order 102 works on the assumption that people do not have multiple calls. In fact it does recognise the seniority of members and the interests and expertise of members who want to speak—that is clear. It recognises that there is a system of priority. But that is the system that is used by the Speaker and it does not take into account the exception in Standing Order 105 the first clause of which states: “Except as otherwise provided”. We know that it is otherwise provided that there are multiple calls on a Committee stage. Clearly a number of us have had them and we know that Mr Tremain is entitled to have a second call in order to seek the closure. 
Can I just put in brackets that although some of us might be unhappy with the closure being granted none of us is arguing about the Chairman’s right to put the question to the House. That is not in contention as part of this point of order which Mr Assistant Speaker you seemed to indicate in your earlier ruling. My submission to you is that although you were absolutely accurate as far as Standing Order 102 is concerned you failed to take into account the additional factor that has come through on a regular basis in rulings from Chairs—certainly in all the time that I have been here—which is that in the Committee stage they tend to give the call to those members who have not had the call previously. You may want to refer this matter to the Standing Orders Committee which might find it appropriate to add a paragraph (e) to Standing Order 102 that states that in the Committee stage the Chairman should take into account whether a member has had the call previously.

Roy Eric: Taxation (GST and Remedial Matters) Bill — In Committee Speaker Recalled In Committee Procedure Third Reading 
[Volume:669;Page:16139] 
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Eric Roy) 
: Thank you members for your contributions. I think an interesting point has been raised. I have had some time to scrutinise various Speakers’ rulings and Standing Orders. I am guided pretty much by Standing Order 102. It states the factors to take into account when the Speaker is calling a member. Of course the Speaker in this case is the Chair to whom the same rules apply. Who gets that call is entirely the prerogative of the Chair or the Speaker. There is no obligation for the Chair or the Speaker to give a call to a member who has not taken a call more so in Committee where members do have multiple calls. I also make the observation that the Chair in accepting a call in the Committee of the whole House has no knowledge of what the nature of the call might be—whether it is to make a contribution to the debate or to seek a closure. The Chair simply has no knowledge of the nature of the call. 
I also make this observation which I think obliquely relates to the matter of when or how the closure might have occurred. The Chair does not decide that it is time for the closure; the Chair decides that it is time for the Committee of the whole House to determine whether it wants to seek the closure. There is a pertinent difference on that matter. 
So let me affirm that the Chair is under no obligation to give a call to a member who has not spoken.

: I did so. 
Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER 
: I am advised that the member did not give notice which would mean that the referral is out of order. I am just going to seek some advice. The member cannot give an instruction in respect of the details of the referral. All he can do is move a motion as to which select committee the bill is going to. He cannot move an instruction. 
Bill referred to the Primary Production Committee.

The Parliamentary Counsel Office has included it which can happen. It is up to members whether to support it and they will vote accordingly.

The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: Mr Assistant Speaker Roy you have been recalled in regard to whether I as the Chair of the Committee had the authority to accept a closure motion from a member when other members of the Government backbench were seeking the call to speak. I believed that I was the sole judge of who got the call. I accepted the call from the senior Government Whip who then moved a closure motion. I subsequently put the closure motion and it was voted on. The question was that Part 3 would stand part. At that stage the Hon Trevor Mallard asked to recall the Speaker. On that basis Mr Assistant Speaker you are asked to adjudicate.

[Volume:669;Page:16203] 
Hon DAVID CARTER (Minister for Biosecurity) 
: 
 I move  
That the Biosecurity Law Reform Bill be now read a first time. 
 At the appropriate time I intend to move that the bill be considered by the Primary Production Committee. The biosecurity system plays a vital role in protecting the things that we value most in New Zealand. New Zealand has developed a highly effective biosecurity system that is recognised as world leading but the biosecurity system has also had to meet a greater and more complex range of challenges. It is against this context that the Government has introduced the Biosecurity Law Reform Bill. The Biosecurity Act was progressive and forward-looking when it was passed in 1993 but the Act has not kept pace with the way that the biosecurity system has had to evolve and the new challenges it now faces. The bill will make a wide range of amendments to the Biosecurity Act and some related amendments to four other Acts. I would like to mention the key themes that run across the amendments.  
Firstly we need to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the biosecurity system and we need to make sure that resources are allocated according to the level of risk and are used to deliver the greatest level of protection possible. Secondly we need to ensure that there is clarity around rules and responsibilities to promote partnerships and collaboration. Protecting New Zealand from biosecurity risk cannot be the role of Government alone. We need to ensure that we harness the combined efforts of others who are well placed to act such as industry and regional councils. Thirdly we need to future-proof the legislation so that it has the flexibility to allow the biosecurity system to continue to evolve over time. This is a very large bill and I have able to touch only briefly on the important amendments that it makes. I commend the bill to the House and look forward to seeing the recommendations of the Primary Production Committee in due course.

CHESTER BORROWS (National—Whanganui) 
: 
 I am happy to agree with the previous speaker Damien O’Connor. This is a sterling piece of work from the Justice and Electoral Committee. There are six members in the House tonight who no doubt will take a short call at some stage. I thank the committee for its collaborative approach. The fact is that we do all our dirty washing behind closed doors. We set about giving some enhancement to this bill after it came before the House. There were some issues raised not only by submitters but also some were dreamed up by the committee members themselves. The key messages of course are that National is focused on preventing the importation of drugs and precursors and other illegal activity at the border. P is destroying families and communities in areas around New Zealand and the people who import it must be stopped. Border management is dependent on the effective sharing of information among agencies operating at the border. I commend this bill to the House.

: Point of order Mr Chairman. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: The member is trifling with me. I am halfway through a vote. We have actually started the vote. I will ask the Clerk to please start the party vote again.

Hon DAVID CUNLIFFE (Labour—New Lynn) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I hesitate to interrupt you but as you will be aware you will shortly put some amendments. I wish to draw the Committee’s attention to the fact that my colleague Mr Burns has not yet had the opportunity of a call to discuss the amendment in his name which you are shortly to put to the Committee. I appeal again to your sense of good judgment. Less than an hour has been spent on debate on this part. You are about to put before the Committee amendments that have not had the opportunity for discussion even by the member who has put them. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: The closure has been put and the Committee has voted and expressed its will. In respect of the first question which is the typescript amendment in the name of Brendon Burns it is ruled out of order because it does not meet the fiscal aggregate rule as laid out in Standing Order 320(1).  
The question was put that the following amendment in the name of the Hon Peter Dunne to the amendment set out on Supplementary Order Paper 187 in his name to insert new clauses 62B and 62C be agreed to: 
to omit new section ME 13(3) other than the heading and substitute the following subsection: 
“(3)If in the absence of this subsection the total value of payments that would be included under subsection (1) in the family scheme income for the year of the person and the person’s spouse civil union partner or de facto partner is less than or equal to $5000 then the payments paid or provided to the person are not included in the person’s family scheme income for the income year.”

The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: The question is— 
Hon David Cunliffe 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. We respect your right to rule on the point at which closure motions can be taken. However you will recall that earlier in the debate on this part the debate drew attention to the fact that this is the most substantial part relating to the new Supplementary Order Paper. It covers some 60 pages of the Supplementary Order Paper. There are complex interrelationships between the amended clauses and this bill which we are having to cross-check against the base reference clauses in the main bill. I submit to you Mr Chairperson that this is an opportunity for you to show your excellent judgment and consider in light of the absence of any select committee process whether there has in fact been full due and proper time for the Committee to consider the implications of this part of the bill which affects billions of dollars of tax loss.  
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I take very seriously the issue of calls and I apply a number of measures on each occasion. I have given a very considered opinion. I will put the question. If members deem that decision to be unsatisfactory they should vote against the closure motion.

The question was put that the amendments set out on Supplementary Order Paper 187 in the name of the Hon Peter Dunne to Part 1 and the following amendment in his name to clause 4 be agreed to: 
to omit from subclause (5) “21G(2) and (5)” and substitute “21G(2B)”. 
Amendments agreed to.

Hon PETER DUNNE (Minister of Revenue) 
: 
 There are two issues. With respect to the large Supplementary Order Paper it was tabled and released at about 1 o’clock on Tuesday which is well outside the 24-hour rule. There is a drafting change which is the second amendment but that is covered by the provisions of Standing Order 320(1) in that it is a technical drafting change that does not have an impact on the Government’s fiscal passages. My submission to you Mr Chairperson is that not only is the Supplementary Order Paper well and truly in order but also the amendment is in order.

Hon Trevor Mallard 
: Sorry which Standing Order was that Mr Chairperson? 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: Standing Order 296. An amendment has to be lodged on the Table only if it has not been in the format of a Supplementary Order Paper.

Hon TREVOR MALLARD (Labour—Hutt South) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. Can you please relate Standing Order 296 to the 24-hour rule. That Standing Order appears to be a rule about how one lodges not how notice is given. I think all of us know that there is a difference between lodging and releasing. As a former Minister I know well that there is a big difference between lodging and releasing. It is the releasing that counts as far as the notice and not the lodging.

 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. Although I reserve the position to recall the Speaker on that question the assurance I was looking for was not the time of public release but the time of the tabling of the Minister’s Supplementary Order Paper and whether it was in fact tabled 24 hours ago. I first noticed the Supplementary Order Paper late last night.
