Warren-Clark AngieANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): Thank you Madam Speaker. It's a real delight to stand tonight. First before I commence my speech in regards to this second reading I want to just have a bit of a shout-out to my favourite superannuitant at the moment Harry Hudson a wonderful man: built his own yacht sailed around the world fabulous builder taught me how to fish and is having his second night in respite care and I know that he's watching from home. So hello Harry. Good to see you and I hope you're not telling those nurses too many tales of your past.It's a real pleasure to take this split call on the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income (Fair Residency) Amendment Bill. I understand that there were 362 submissions but 15 oral submissions. Even though I'm not a member of that select committee—the Finance and Expenditure Committee ably chaired by my colleague Dr Duncan Webb—I do know that the sheer number of submissions and the number of people speaking to this have been quite significant. I understand as well that this second reading finds the bill with some really significant changes from the originating draft. I do have to just acknowledge my previous colleague from the 52nd Parliament Mark Patterson. He brought the bill to the House. It did need a lot of work I understand but I do want to acknowledge Andrew Bayly for picking this bill up and for carrying it through and the select committee who have worked really hard to come to a solution that is just a solution that's fair for all.This outcome of this bill though is quite relevant for the select committee that I chair which is the Social Services and Community Committee which superannuation and veterans fall under. So I was very interested to participate in this debate tonight. As noted by the other speeches the residential change from 10 to 20 years without any kind of process or transitional arrangements was going to be extremely harsh and it was likely to affect some people for up to 10 years. As we know and people have said this tonight people make plans. They know what their entitlement might be and they make their plans regarding that and so they would find themselves in quite a lot of hardship. So I think that it has been a really interesting process to come to the step change process around payments. So it's phased and I thought that that was quite interesting. It's phased through a period based on your birth date. So currently as I understand it as of 30 June 2021 people over 64 must have residential requirement of 10 years. So those who turn 65 on or after 1 July 2040 would need to meet the full 20 years. So it's a step it's a transition and it's a step and it is very fair.There was some conversation around Realm countries: Cook Islands Niue and Tokelau as well as refugees and protected persons. Both groups being treated differently is really important I believe because of their different circumstances.Finally I would just like to make a special mention of the officials and drafters in this bill. Something unusual has happened in this little piece of legislation and that is that there are diagrams included in the bill. So I just wanted to acknowledge that it's actually a very sensible way of explaining the circumstances of this legislation for clarity's sake. I just wanted to make mention of it and with that I commend this bill to the House.
