Bayly AndrewANDREW BAYLY (National—Hunua): Thank you Mr Chair. I'm very grateful that you've taken my call. First of all I'd like to acknowledge Minister Twyford for having the courage to stand up and defend himself. I think one of the most remarkable things watching tonight is how after a short period of time—only 18 months—those members over the other side there on the Government side have now got to the point where they're having to defend themselves. It's a very defensive posture you guys are showing tonight. Where are you proud about what you're doing? That is just missing tonight in these speeches. What we're hearing is Oh yes yes. We're going to do that. We're trying to blame National for what they did 18 months ago."Well in the year of delivery I now understand why. One of the areas that I think needs our attention most of all—an industry that needs some oxygen—is the building and construction sector. It's interesting that the biggest thing about the building and construction sector is its volatility. We're seeing these huge troughs and peaks and what is happening now is we're seeing these companies go into receivership. That's really bad. It's bad for the people who want to build houses and the owners who've put their money on the line. It's bad for the employees of the builders but also what we're seeing is these larger builders going out of action and creating mayhem in this industry—creating mayhem in New Zealand.I can tell you that we are not over it yet. We've already seen a whole lot of receiverships being announced but we can guarantee that we're going to see some more. And if there's ever a time where we want to see a Government doing something delivering on its promises actually delivering something now is the time. Unfortunately we've got a housing Minister who's struggling to deal with his own housing portfolio under KiwiBuild. But the biggest thing we want is someone to actually look after the wider industry—the building and construction industry.The first thing is we've got a shortfall of apprenticeships in New Zealand. We have a 50000 shortfall in the building and construction sector. You would think we'd be looking at ways we're going to drive that forward how we're going to bring in new people how we're going to attract people out of the schools and into that wonderful array of industries in the building and construction sector. But what have we got? We've got a Minister of tertiary education who wants to think that the only way to look after the building and construction sector is to centralise everything back into Wellington because that's the way it should be. That is not going to address the construction sector shortfall and apprenticeships—the people we want into that market to do the work that we need to build those houses.The second thing: seismic issues. We've got huge seismic issues. We've got a library just down the road—big issues with hollow-core flooring. We've got a Minister who doesn't want to even acknowledge it. We've got issues with the system for accrediting people in this whole industry and we've got this wider issue of what's called "non-structural elements". That is stuff that falls out of the roof and hits people and we've got a Minister not even worried about that.Then we've got this whole issue about contracting. Guess what? After 18 months we had seven Ministers—I think it was seven—turn up in Auckland to announce another working group to look at how we procure and contract. I'll tell you what; it's not a working group because it's called "an accord". It is an accord. It is the Construction Sector Accord—18 months after she becomes a Minister the Minister for Building and Construction announced an accord. When's that going to happen? In 12 months we'll finally get some outcomes about how we've got to improve procurement and contracting.Well I have to tell the committee tonight that there has been a lot of work already done on that. If you google "3910" that is a procurement method that has already been through the rigour of the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment. That is the way we are meant to procure. If we actually started adopting that that would probably go a long way to solving this issue. But just don't google "3910 contracting model".Then the whole issue about risk sharing. We've had Auckland—[Time expired]"
