Bishop ChrisCHRIS BISHOP (National): Thank you very much Mr Speaker. Just in the spirit of coming towards the end of the parliamentary year a bouquet and a brickbat for the Leader of the House and also the Minister for COVID-19 Response. I suppose the brickbat to start with the negative first is that this is an untidy process with the Leader of the House having to seek leave to amend the sessional order. It really could have been flagged in advance. We'll support it of course but I think the process is an untidy one. This really should have been envisaged as a result of the—Hon Chris Hipkins: You can't do it until the bill is passed.CHRIS BISHOP: Yeah I know you can't do it until the bill is passed but it could have been flagged up to the Opposition or indeed placed on the Order Paper of the House. I acknowledge it can't be done until the bill is passed but I think it reflects the hurry with which the vaccinations legislation was passed yesterday in Parliament. It feels like a long time ago but it was indeed only yesterday.Hon Chris Hipkins: A few other things have happened since then.CHRIS BISHOP: Yeah yeah—well we've had an announcement about managed isolation and quarantine and if you want me to get into that I'd be really happy to get into that but the Speaker will pull me up for going away from the motion. So that's the brickbat and I think it is an untidy process.But I just want to finish by the bouquet which is that the Minister is right that the Regulations Review Committee works very diligently and conscientiously under the stewardship of Chris Penk with his inimitable legal mind and may I say also some very good contributions by legally trained people from the Government including Rachel Brooking and Vanushi Walters. They do an excellent job on the committee and it's one of those committees actually which genuinely operates in a relatively bipartisan way. One could argue that it's a shame there are not more select committees that genuinely put aside the party politics and just get into the nitty-gritty of legislation. Some would argue that the Regulations Review Committee is more appropriate for that being focused on legality but it'd be nice if some more committees actually exercised their constitutional job of holding the executive to account. But the committee does a good job and I think over time as the Minister has said the process of having the orders made and then referred to the committee and then confirmed by the House has proven to be a pretty good one.I just want to finally finish up by flagging that we in the Opposition will be really diligently going through the orders in relation to vaccination. The Leader of the House made mention of the variety of orders that are going to come down the line as a result of this new legislation we passed yesterday and one of the consequences of that legislation yesterday is very broad powers for the Government—in fact some legal scholars would say far too broad—and there are going to be real issues as to whether or not the orders are vires the empowering Act whether or not the orders are actually allowed to be made pursuant to the Act. So the orders are going to set up the whole traffic light framework. They're going to set up the vaccine mandates for the private sector and the use of vaccine certificates across broad swaths of the New Zealand economy and I've got to say that that is going to be a tricky job to do via public health orders. The drafting has to be absolutely pitch perfect. The Minister is right that there's been a bit of back and forth and some have been changed and I just want to flag—and I'm sure Chris Penk would agree—that we will be invigilating those orders very closely indeed to make sure they comply with the rule of law. Thank you Mr Speaker.
