Upston LouiseHon LOUISE UPSTON (National—Taupō): Thank you Mr Chair. I think I'm going to cause a bit of a stir in the Chamber next and the reason is I agree with some of what Jan Logie has been talking about.Hon Member: Future of the National Party!Hon LOUISE UPSTON: I know. Just hold fire just relax—just breathe and relax. I also have proposed an amendment to delete clause 11 which is the same as part of what Jan Logie has done. So I'm partly agreeing.Hon Member: New coalition forming?Hon LOUISE UPSTON: A new coalition. We're always open to extending our friendships and we have with the Greens in the past. If you think back to 2008 we had a great cooperation with the Green Party. But in all seriousness I am proposing an amendment which would delete clause 11 basically because we already have a high effective marginal tax rate and we actually want to see that when people are working they should keep more of what they earn and they shouldn't be penalised for doing so.I also want to say I acknowledge the very real challenge of many parents and families of all shapes and sizes where juggling work and parenting is incredibly challenging but the National Party believes that the incentive always should be favouring work and so this is a very simple amendment that we are proposing.Of course the interesting part of the changes that are being proposed tonight is if you look at the regulatory impact statement you know there has been no consultation and what is interesting is because many of these changes were part of the Welfare Expert Advisory Group recommendations—and I'm speaking specifically around the Working for Families tax credits part of this bill—I am somewhat perturbed that the Government didn't take the steps to consult on this ahead of the bill being introduced or actually take this to select committee because there'd be a range of views and very sensible views on whether clause 11 was necessary or not and we would have had the opportunity to actually tease out some of the challenges around the very important incentive to be in work. Actually sorry I'm just going to try and find the regulatory impact statement—one of the comments in there is that the Government did want to maintain that focus on work.So I think this is a sensible change that I do want the Government to consider: the removal of clause 11. So I'm partially agreeing with Jan Logie but the reality of this particular bill is that the largely touted increases in the Working for Families tax credit side of this are just the Consumers Price Index (CPI) adjustment. So I think it is—and I'm careful with my words similar to Jan Logie being careful before—not accurately representing to New Zealand families the reality of what this package does because the majority of it is the CPI adjustments that happen anyway and would have happened on 1 April. So the Government pretending to be incredibly generous with $20 a week actually isn't because $15 of that would have happened with the CPI adjustment so we should be clear about what this bill does and what it doesn't do.So I will be asking other parties in this Chamber to support the amendment. So Jan Logie and the Green Party we would support half of yours so that would mean surely you could support all of ours which might give us the opportunity in this Chamber for the Government to see some sense. I would be interested in the Minister answering some questions in response to my amendment to remove clause 11. Thank you Mr Chair.
