Whaitiri MekaMEKA WHAITIRI (Labour—Ikaroa-Rāwhiti): Tēnā koe Mr Chair. Thank you very much for this chance to have a call on Part 3. Can I please first just extend my condolences to a former Minister of Parliament who buried her husband today Steve Chadwick and to the rangatira John: haere atu rā moe mai rā![Farewell and rest there!]Can I just by way of reminding this Committee—this is a very complex bill. It is over 400 pages long. It is the first piece of legislation that we have seen in this House for 24 years and I want to thank the Minister for responding to questions that we have put up previously when we debated Part 3. But I just want to go on record that the motion to reopen Part 2 was because we had a new concept in that part that we did not get to debate and that was the whenua tāpui. I will just leave that there because it is important that we give this bill due scrutiny because of the comprehensiveness and simply because the Minister has made some changes since it left the select committee. And this is the only place we get to properly scrutinise those changes. Part 3 is made up of three subparts. The first subpart is about ownership and decision making the second part is around whānau trusts and the third subpart is about the kaiwhakamarumaru. I am not going to repeat what other people have said because I think they have clearly touched on the threshold decision-making framework and I want to acknowledge the Minister in terms of the second-chance provision which is clause 51B. He made it really clear what it does not cover. I read it differently in the bill particularly if I draw the Minister's attention to clause 51B(5) where it says: The decision is valid only if the court on application makes an order of confirmation that—(b) the court is satisfied that the decision will assist the owners to retain control occupy or develop their land for the benefit of present and future owners." And I do want to acknowledge what the Minister said the legislation did not cover but I read that and it tells me that it actually covers a lot of those things particularly long-term leases that he said it did not cover. So it would be good to really clarify what second-chance decision-making does and does not cover because that is not how the bill is laid out. If I turn to subpart 2 under whānau trusts I guess the biggest issue in considering this particular part is the absence of any detail around the Māori Land Service and the reason why I say that is because in this particular subpart of Part 3 it makes references under whānau trust. For example it says in clause 63 that whānau trusts must apply to the chief executive (CE) which is the CE of the Māori Land Service to have their trust entered on the Māori land register as soon as possible. That is clause 63. So we are getting introduced to a person in charge of a service that we have no detail on—all landowners have no detail on. The question I have for the Minister around this particular provision in clause 63 is: who pays for the registration? And that is a question that many whānau trusts who have to re-register—because that is how I read it; if you have already got a whānau trust you have to go and apply to the CE of the Māori Land Service to make sure that the details of your whānau trust are registered in the Māori land register as soon as possible as it is spelt out in clause 64. So then the question obviously is: is this a free service or is it a paid service? Some detail on that would be helpful.Again in subpart 2 whānau trusts—if I draw the Minister's attention down to clause 71(3) where we talk about who gets what after termination. So in this particular provision Minister it talks about the terminating of a whānau trust where it says that once a whānau trust is terminated it goes back to the original owner—well that makes sense—if they are dead according to their will; if dead and there is no will then equal shares go to all living beneficiaries. But in subclause (b) it says if there are no living beneficiaries if an original owner has died and they have not left a will then the land—"
