Brewer CameronCAMERON BREWER (National—Upper Harbour): It gives me huge pride to be the final speaker in this. And I know that the whip's office carefully considered who would give the final speech on this. And despite the strength of our South Island caucus and the great representation that they have here today on force and the great representation they give the South Island they chose a boy from Hāwera to give the final speech.I want to pay tribute to the Social Services and Community Committee for the work that they have done and these are very simple and sensible tweaks which National and in fact every party from what I can make out are happy to support as we put through this passage of legislation.If we just reflect back as others have done—but I think my role is to kind of wrap it up and to reflect on the purpose of the institute that has served the Canterbury people the region and in fact the country Mr Meager—the country led from the mainland of course. The purpose of the Institute is to provide assistance to and promote the welfare and well-being of disadvantaged women residing or located in the Region"—being the Canterbury region—"(and the children in the care of such women) who the Board considers are in need of care support and assistance due to poverty ill health or other circumstances whether temporary or long-term."And when we look at the other provisions of what the institute is focused on and the programmes projects and initiatives that they support we see that they promote and support the empowerment of women—including enabling them to live independently—support women to fully participate within the context of family whānau and community; promote public awareness of the problems of family violence and abuse; work to change social norms that support violence against women; promote and provide parental support services; and promote motherhood as a valuable force in our society.And so their work thanks to the generosity of the late Allan McLean continues and as other speakers have alluded to is more important than ever before and more relevant than ever before.And I also want to take this opportunity not only to pay tribute to the late great Allan McLean who I think in the second reading we heard came on the ship Tory. We don't know how he voted but he did come on the ship Tory to New Zealand. He did wear a plum-purple suit. This has been on record. And in fact when we all gave some very considered and passionate and a well-researched—Tom Rutherford very well-researched—speech we had people connected to the institute the Allan McLean institute the McLean Institute that wrote a beautiful email to the member for Kāpiti—Ōtaki at least Ōtaki; I'm still in the 90s I think—Tim Costley and said how delighted they were that parliamentarians us parliamentarians had honoured the late Allan McLean and his enduring work. So we want to throw it back to those members associated with the McLean Institute as to—don't thank us; today is about thanking you and the enduring work that you do in the great region of Canterbury.But this is also a time for reflection about philanthropy and the role of philanthropy. And I want to allude to one of his contemporaries one of Allan McLean's contemporaries the late Sir John Logan Campbell described as the "Father of Auckland" member of Parliament big businessman Mayor of Auckland who of course bequeathed Cornwall Park to the people of New Zealand. And that Cornwall Park Trust board continues with its work every day since the 1900s overseeing that enormous gift. And in fact Sir John Logan Campbell's vision—he could see that the Auckland region was going to grow and grow and grow. And this space was to provide open space and farm animals to the children of Auckland. And what foresight he had to think that we can now go to Cornwall Park and see those spring lambs and run through the daffodils. And so I want to pay tribute to the Father of Auckland—again a contemporary.Simon Court: Really?CAMERON BREWER: But it's not just Simon Court left in the early 1900s in those Edwardian days when the greatest generation was born like my grandparents although two grandfathers served on the home guard so I don't know if they were deemed amongst the greatest generation but they were the same age group.And it wasn't just the 1900s where philanthropy left off. We look also—today as we reflect on Allan McLean and his enduring gift to this country—to the late Josie and Julian Robertson who bequeathed 15 masterpieces to Auckland Art Gallery worth $178 million—masterpieces including from Pablo Picasso including from Monet. This is another incredible 21st century act of philanthropy.And I think we can conclude here we are 120 years on from Allan McLean's gift updating the McLean Institute's trust variations and its scope and how it operates and—James Meager: Modernising.CAMERON BREWER: —and how—modernising the language and making it relevant to 2024 and going forward. It goes to show that philanthropy can stick and that that philanthropy should continue to be encouraged because if we can continue—and you'll see this legislation was amended accordingly throughout the 20th century. Now we're in the 21st century and it goes to show that philanthropy can stick generosity can endure and it can be amended. Its interpretation can be amended to reflect the legal and societal changes.And I think if there's one takeout message for today that is for those that might have wealth whether it's large or small and might not have the descendants or an obvious place to bequeath within their family or circle of friends that they consider philanthropy and that this Parliament be proof that it will endure and that we as parliamentarians past present and future will protect that bequeathment.And so "be encouraged to give" I think is the takeout message if we are to make this all relevant to the people that are watching this on Parliament TV listening to it on Truth Radio and hearing what is happening in Parliament today. Legacies can last and change lives centuries on. So knowing that the institute's members and connections are listening today is a tribute to their work and a plea to New Zealanders and others from overseas that we will honour those that bequeath to our great country.And so I finish. I finish this historic moment with an ode to the McLean Institute: There was a great—I'll start again.There was the great Allan McLeanWho left cash but sought no fame.With the twill of his quillHis will was a billAnd now they're one of the same.I commend the bill to the House.Bill read a third time."
