Ross Jami-LeeJAMI-LEE ROSS (National—Botany): I remember Su'a William Sio. We served together on the Manukau City Council. He was a relatively competent and hard-working member of that council. Just as members of city councils and district councils up and down the country adequately represent their communities and make decisions on issues that Parliament has delegated to them every single month and week in New Zealand—just as Su'a William Sio was able to on the Manukau City Council—after this piece of legislation has been passed members of city councils will be able to accurately represent their communities on a decision about whether their area should be able to have trading on Easter Sunday. That is what this is about. It is about allowing the choice for local areas where they wish to allow their shops in their district or in a particular part of their district to trade. It is about allowing them the choice to make that decision. There have been a lot of inflammatory words said about this bill. It is apparently disgraceful. It is apparently abhorrent. It is apparently awful and so many terrible things have been said about it. Carmel Sepuloni stood up in the House and said that The Labour Party is not whipped. We just all happen to agree." The Government members all happen to agree that this is a process issue that should be given to local authorities to decide about their local area. We all happen to agree as well. The only disgraceful and abhorrent behaviour I have seen in this House so far was members of the Labour Party in a self-righteous pious way using religious affiliation and using ethnic identity to bully other members of Parliament. That is disgraceful that is abhorrent and I do not agree with it.Iain Lees-Galloway: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I take offence at being called a bully and I ask that the member withdraw and apologise.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): There has been quite a bit of licence in this debate and some comments have been made and I have heard most of it. I know the member's speech is coming to an end so I will ask the member Jami-Lee Ross just to confine his comments to what the third reading of this bill is actually about.Iain Lees-Galloway: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. Earlier today a member was asked to leave the Chamber over the matter of a member taking offence at something that that member said. The comment was not unparliamentary but it was determined by the Deputy Speaker that if offence was taken the member should withdraw and apologise—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): OK—the member will sit. If the member has taken offence I will ask the member to withdraw.JAMI-LEE ROSS: I am happy to withdraw and apologise. This bill is all about giving local authorities the choice to make a decision about their districts. The National members of Parliament have made a choice. They have made a choice to back a piece of legislation that allows a local area to make a decision about Easter trading. There are significant measures that have been put into the bill to protect employees. There has been a lot of thought given to the mechanisms by which a council can make its decision and this is an opportunity for Parliament to say that for local areas where there has been disenfranchised local areas in the past—where a neighbouring district has been able to trade and one has not—we are going to allow them to make the decision for themselves. I utterly reject the awful tactics that have been used by the Labour Party and we are proud of the decisions we are making today."
