It is a debate on the preliminary clauses which gives members an opportunity to be reasonably wide ranging in the contributions that they make on this part of the debate. We have had only a small number of members making a contribution so far and a large number of members on this side of the Chamber—The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch): Thank you. I hear the member—[Interruption] I hear the member. I have been making a note of those who have sought calls. I have given preference to those people who are on the select committee and those who have had calls during the course of the debate. This debate has been going since last week—since last Wednesday. When we are on the title and commencement clauses these are the preliminary clauses—although there is some latitude and I actually quoted the Speakers’ ruling at the time which was Speakers’ ruling 127/5.They are for members to make concluding remarks. It is a summarising of concluding remarks. The debate has become quite repetitive. On a number of occasions I have asked members to come back to clauses 1 and 2. The Committee will decide whether we accept a closure motion or not.

The evidence shows that if we are prepared to invest in supporting bonding between parent and baby and supporting breastfeeding to 6 months then as a country we will save more money on funding the services needed for bad outcomes.Poto Williams: What parliamentary support is she expecting to receive for her Parental Leave and Employment Protection (Six Months’ Paid Leave and Work Contact Hours) Amendment Bill?

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]12.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First) to the Minister of Finance: Does he stand by all his statements; if so why?Hon BILL ENGLISH (Minister of Finance): Yes in the context in which they were made.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Does he stand by his statement in a response letter to my Official Information Act request dated 17 August 2015 that “The documents alleged to contain the information requested do not exist.”?Hon BILL ENGLISH: I cannot respond on the specific statement because I do not know what he is referring to but generally we would stand by the statements that I make in letters in response to the Official Information Act.Rt Hon Winston Peters: If that is the case then why do I have a copy of a letter signed by him on 26 March 2013 to Federated Farmers that contradicts his statement that the documents do not exist and makes a mockery of the Official Information Act process?Hon BILL ENGLISH: I do not know the answer to that question. We endeavour to comply at all times with the Official Information Act. In fact in my office and in Treasury we are probably among the more proactive releasers of public information in the whole Public Service.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I seek leave to table three letters. One is dated 26 March 2013 from Bruce Wills of Federated Farmers. The second one is a letter—sorry 13 March 2013 rather from Bill English as well to—I will rephrase this. Mr Wills’ letter of 13 February 2013 to Bill English Mr English’s reply on 26 March 2013 and then his reply to me dated 17 August 2015—that is three letters.Mr SPEAKER: Leave is sought to table those three particular letters. Is there any objection to them being tabled? There is none. They can be tabled.

Volume:708;Page:6081. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]10.BARBARA KURIGER (National—Taranaki - King Country) to the Minister of Health: Can he confirm that the health target for emergency departments has been met for the second consecutive quarter meaning that 95 percent of people attending our emergency departments are treated admitted or discharged within 6 hours?Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN (Minister of Health): Yes I can. Over a quarter of a million patients were successfully admitted discharged or transferred from an emergency department within 6 hours in the last quarter. This is an excellent result and represents the first time our hospitals have achieved the 95 percent target for two quarters in a row. The Government is continuing to provide better care for patients by delivering better and faster access to important health services.Barbara Kuriger: What is the Government doing to drive sustained achievement of the emergency department health target?Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN: In Budget 2015 the Government again made health funding the No. 1 priority delivering an extra $1.7 billion over the next 4 years into public health services. The winter season is always tough on our emergency departments and I want to thank our emergency department staff across the country for their dedication and excellent performance during these very busy months.Hon Annette King: In light of the report today from Dunedin Hospital how many patients are currently sitting in corridors under fluorescent lights because they cannot get into the emergency department because of overcrowding something he said was a measure of a poorly operating health system?Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN: I am very surprised that the former Minister of Health has the gall to ask that question. But what I can tell her—[Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order!Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN: I was talking to Carol Heatly—[Interruption] Do you want to listen? I can—Mr SPEAKER: Order! I am wanting the answer.Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN: Yes sure. I was talking to Carol Heatly the chief executive of the Southern District Health Board during the last hour. She was saying that yesterday between Dunedin and Invercargill there were fewer than 10 people waiting briefly having been seen before they were transferred into the wards. So it is a very different situation than Mrs King’s failed tenure as health Minister.

Volume:708;Page:6079. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]8.TODD BARCLAY (National—Clutha-Southland) to the Minister for Primary Industries: What reports has he received on Government support for diversification in the dairy industry?Hon NATHAN GUY (Minister for Primary Industries): I have received numerous reports that outline how the Government is supporting diversification in the dairy industry from inside the farm gate right through to overseas markets. This includes investment partnerships through the Sustainable Farming Fund a $170 million transforming the dairy value chain Primary Growth Partnership programme reports outlining opportunities for New Zealand dairy products in overseas markets and of course much much more. This support is helping to create new dairy products increase on-farm productivity reduce environmental impacts and open up new markets for trade.Todd Barclay: What are some examples of ways in which this support is helping to diversify our dairy industry?Hon NATHAN GUY: Over the past 15 years the Government has invested through the Sustainable Farming Fund around $48 million in over 250 grassroots dairy projects. This includes projects covering the responsible use of antibiotics through to the conversion of dairy waste into a food source for land-based aquaculture—as I mentioned previously transforming the dairy value chain. A joint industry and Government Primary Growth Partnership programme has allowed new products to evolve including the development of world-leading technology that allows mozzarella cheese to be made in 1 day instead of 2 months. Also Minister Joyce and I recently released Opportunities for New Zealand dairy products in South East Asia 2014 a report that highlights opportunities for our dairy industry to increase its exports of consumer-ready products into this important region.Hon Damien O’Connor: I seek leave to table a report from the Office of the Auditor-General—Mr SPEAKER: Order! The member will resume his seat. That is a report that was tabled in this House.

Volume:708;Page:6077. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]6.TODD MULLER (National—Bay of Plenty) to the Minister of Transport: What update can he provide on the Tauranga Eastern Link which is one of the Government’s Roads of National Significance?Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Minister of Transport): It was my absolute pleasure to stand alongside the Prime Minister recently and open the $455 million Tauranga Eastern Link. This new 21-kilometre seven-bridge four-lane highway is one of seven roads of national significance identified by the Government as being crucial to build New Zealand’s economy and is only the second to be completed. The new highway was the Bay of Plenty’s biggest ever roading project. This new piece of lead infrastructure brings the region closer together and in doing so will significantly boost growth through trade and travel in the region.Todd Muller: How will the recently completed Tauranga Eastern Link road of national significance benefit road users?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: This new high-specification highway is a game-changer for the Bay of Plenty. It will support economic development and growth boost industry and jobs and improve road safety. The Tauranga Eastern Link will also shorten journey times by as much as 24 minutes for a return journey. It will also provide a safer and more efficient route to the Port of Tauranga driving down the cost of moving freight which improves the international competitiveness of the region and also the national economy.Todd Muller: How does the Tauranga Eastern Link demonstrate the Government’s support for the regions?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: By building this important piece of lead infrastructure the Government has proved yet again that we are delivering on our commitment that regional New Zealand has the transport infrastructure that it needs and it deserves. The new highway will support regional growth by opening up parts of the Western Bay of Plenty to residential and commercial development and it will also ensure that the Eastern Bay of Plenty is better connected to the city and the wider region. The new Tauranga Eastern Link highway is a prime example of the Government’s focus on funding infrastructure that will drive New Zealand’s economic and social success in our regions.Clayton Mitchell: Given the Government would have funded the Tauranga Eastern Link the nationally significant road itself in 7 to 10 years how can it justify bringing the project forward and tolling the people of Tauranga for 35 years—35 years?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: The member is quite incorrect. The project has been brought forward by a number of years by the tolling. I am happy to tell the member who I know like me lives in Tauranga that after years of neglect this Government is delivering hundreds of millions of dollars of infrastructure projects to the people of the Bay of Plenty.

Speaker’s Rulings — Healthy Homes Guarantee Bill (No 2)—Compliance with Standing OrdersText is subject to correctionSpeaker’s Rulings — Healthy Homes Guarantee Bill (No 2)—Compliance with Standing Orders[Sitting date: 15 October 2015. Volume:709;Page:1. Text is subject to correction.]Speaker’s RulingsHealthy Homes Guarantee Bill (No 2)—Compliance with Standing OrdersMr SPEAKER: Honourablemembers the Healthy Homes Guarantee Bill (No 2) was drawn from the member’s ballot today. The bill has the purpose of ensuring that every rental home meets the minimum standards of heating and insulation. It requires the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment to set the standards and requires the landlords to meet them.On further study the purpose and effect of the bill are the same in substance as the Healthy Homes Guarantee Bill which was defeated at its first reading on 18 March 2015. Standing Order 264 provides that a bill that is the same in substance as a bill that received or was defeated on its first second or third reading may not be proposed. In my opinion this bill should never have been accepted for the ballot.Now that the bill has been drawn I need to find a way forward. The point at which a bill is proposed to the House is when the member in charge moves its first reading. If the first reading of the Healthy Homes Guarantee Bill (No 2) is reached in the current calendar year I will then rule the bill out of order. However if it is reached later than that it will not trigger the prohibition in Standing Order 264 and will be in order.I have asked the Clerk to ensure that bills proposed to go in the ballot are scrutinised more carefully for compliance with Standing Order 264. In future bills that are the same in substance as ones read or defeated in the same calendar year will not be permitted into the ballot.GRANT ROBERTSON (Labour—Wellington Central):I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. Sorry I apologise for not getting up immediately Mr Speaker and thank you for that ruling. One of the questions that we on this side of the House would have is around what is a “substantive difference”. I do not propose to take the House’s time now to explore that with you because you have ruled but we do believe that there was a substantive difference in terms of the different departments that were managing the process but that perhaps is something that can be taken up at a later date with you.Mr SPEAKER: I am happy to make further comment for the benefit of the member. The interpretation of “substantive” will not be defined exactly; it will depend on particular legislation. It will be a discussion that I have with the Clerk at the time. In this particular case the original proposal was scrutinised by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority as I understand it. The new bill proposed is scrutinised by the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment. I do not believe that that is a significant difference and enough to warrant it having been included in the ballot on this occasion.
