Henare Tau: Veterinarians Bill — Second Reading In Committee Third Reading 
[Volume:628;Page:913] 
Hon TAU HENARE (National) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I want to raise two points. First my colleague raised a point of order with you. The Minister rose and speaking to the point of order basically started a 5-minute speech. I ask you to try to rule on that first. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Clem Simich) 
: Does the member want me to deal with it as he goes along? 
Hon TAU HENARE 
: In a short while Mr Chairperson. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Clem Simich) 
: What is the other part? 
Hon TAU HENARE 
: The other part of the point of order was that I was accused of misleading the Committee. I think that is out of order. 
Hon Jim Anderton 
: Misleading the people who are listening. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Clem Simich) 
: I thank both of you for raising that whatever it was. I think the point of order was wrongly raised in the first place. I took it that the Minister was simply making those references by way of comparison. I thought they were relevant. I thought that much of the other stuff that has been said was irrelevant. We will move on. The Minister has had his say; does anyone else wish to speak?

Hon JIM ANDERTON (Minister of Agriculture) 
: 
 Sometimes in talkback land one can let the facts get away with one’s prejudice but here in the Chamber one cannot. It would be a good idea if people kept to the facts—or made an attempt at it. We are told that the committees are all mixed up and that there are veterinarians all over the place. Actually the member was dealing with new Part 3A anyway which is inserted by Supplementary Order Paper 8 in my name and which we are not supposed to be dealing with. 
Hon David Carter 
: No clause 69. 
Hon JIM ANDERTON 
: Well let us look at clause 69 “Composition of Council” for a start. We can see the composition of the council is three veterinarians two laypersons one veterinarian appointed by the Minister and the person for the time being responsible for veterinary science at Massey University. So we have a mix there. 
Hon David Carter 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I am trying to help the Minister. He is now moving to clause 69 which is in Part 4. We are still discussing Part 3 with Part 3A to go. Then we will move to Part 4 when we will have plenty of time to talk about the composition of the council. 
Hon JIM ANDERTON 
: Speaking to the point of order we just heard that all the judicial committees and all the complaints committees are all mixed up with veterinarians and council members everywhere. I responded to that by saying that the facts are that the council members appoint the committees. In the committees we are looking at we have district court judges or retired court judges. The last time I knew or thought about it I was aware a barrister or solicitor of the High Court was unlikely to be a practising veterinarian. I would like the member to get on to the facts of this legislation and not mislead the people who may be listening.

R DOUG WOOLERTON (NZ First) 
: 
 As many members in the Committee have probably realised I am not one to get bogged down in the detail unless it is absolutely essential but I have to say that— 
Hon Tau Henare 
: Tell us about Bianca. 
R DOUG WOOLERTON 
: I will because that story goes to the heart of what this bill is all about. People who look on their pets who have pets in their lives and who transfer their love to those pets— 
Phil Heatley 
: Companions. 
R DOUG WOOLERTON 
:—companions; that is the way those people look at it—want to know whether any redress is available to them if things go wrong if their pets are not treated in a professional manner or if the pets are not treated by someone their owners see as competent. If they are not happy they want to know whether something can be done. 
In the case of Bianca Bianca’s family—her parents her caregivers; I shall put it that way—wanted to know what the select committee would do about it and through the select committee they wanted to know what Parliament would do about it. They were in what they saw as the highest court in the land and they demanded some answers from our chairman. To give our chairman some credit—which I do not like doing too often—he took that case seriously. He brought us into line as a committee and said that we must do something in this bill to reassure people that they have redress that veterinary practitioners are competent and that even where the veterinarian is competent and a member of the public feels they are not there is somewhere members of the public can go to have the matter sorted out. It is not only about competency; it is not only about being right; it is about the public being satisfied that right has been done. Our chairman to his credit took that case up and made sure that the provisions dealing with complaints were in the bill to ensure that those things happened. 
The public must have confidence in vets. Out on the farm there is an element of callousness— 
Hon David Carter 
: They have more confidence in vets than they do in New Zealand First. 
R DOUG WOOLERTON 
: Mr Carter as a farmer will understand that he will spend a finite amount of money on a sheep a cattle beast or whatever. But when it comes to small animals—to cockatiels to Bianca—there is no limit to what a person is prepared to spend. There is no limit to the redress they will demand if they do not believe that their “Bianca” is being treated right and our chairman made sure that the bill took care of that. So it is not only a matter of ensuring that right is done but also that the public need to have complete faith that it is being done and they need to see that it is being done. In the end they need to know that there is a process that is robust and that will censure those vets. In the tragic case of Bianca the public did not feel there was enough censure in the system so we have worked hard to put that into the system.

Hon JIM ANDERTON (Minister of Agriculture) 
: 
 After I listened to Mr Roy for 7 minutes he still could not find where complaints assessment committees were mentioned in the bill. It is in clause 74: “Complaints assessment committees”—not surprisingly. The complaints assessment committee is actually appointed by the Veterinary Council.

Anderton Jim: Veterinarians Bill — Second Reading In Committee Third Reading 
[Volume:628;Page:894] 
Hon JIM ANDERTON (Minister of Agriculture) 
: 
 What the Government is doing in clause 13 is inviting the member to read it. There is no time limit on it—no statutory time limit. The member has wasted 5 minutes railing about it and it is not there. If he reads it he will see that there is no statutory time limit for limited registration so I invite him to read the clause. 
A couple of other points were raised about the 4-year qualification period. I understand that that was agreed to with the Veterinary Council of New Zealand. The council says in terms of qualifications both specific and time-limited that the qualifications require a 4-year course. I am not going to second-guess the Veterinary Council. If the member wants to do that he can go and see the councillors and have a chat to them. But I presume that select committee members understood that when they discussed the bill; if they did not they may well have asked the question. But that is where it came from—from discussions held with the Veterinary Council. 
The question was raised originally just to get the bona fides right about my qualifications in terms of my ministerial warrant. I have the authority as the Minister of Agriculture to deal with all matters in that portfolio—including animal health this bill and the Act that will result from it as well as the current Act of course. 
I want to remind members who are complaining about the time frame for this bill by the way that it was introduced in January 2005. It is actually going through the House in December 2005. That is not too bad. If members want a track record of bills like this I can tell them that the original bill which was enacted in 1994 was in the House for 17 years. It was 17 years in the process before it became an Act. So if we are looking for blame on time constraints there is plenty to go around. That bill was in the House from the early 1970s to 1994 so we are processing this bill at lightening speed in comparison with what was happening before. 
In terms of the questions as to why there are changes I am a bit mystified. I sat in my chair and listened to National Party members railing that this bill has taken too long—like 1 year—that we had to get it passed urgently and that vets were waiting and would be celebrating. Now I am asked why we are progressing it. Well we are doing so because there were amendments that the vets themselves wanted made and when those amendments were considered in relation to the Act it was actually discovered that because the previous bill had been in the House for so long—for 17 years—it had virtually become antediluvian by the time it was passed and it was time to revise it virtually before it was enacted. So we are now doing the work that previous Parliaments did not do—and I think we are doing it with great expedition.

: 
 What a pleasure it is to take a call in the second reading of the Veterinarians Bill. Can I say that the contribution from the member who just resumed his seat was most enlightening. I also thank the Primary Production Committee for the work it did. Obviously the committee members got right into the bill. They came out with plastic gloves put them on and probed deeply into the matters to do with veterinarians bills—treated the bill like a cow really. 
It is always timely to remind people of the key points of this bill. The bill repeals and replaces the Veterinarians Act 1994. The aim is to provide the veterinary profession with a more modern and flexible governance structure comparable to other professions such as the medical profession. The key changes from the Veterinarians Act are around qualification requirements and greater Veterinary Council powers when dealing with disciplinary and competency matters. 
The Veterinary Council and the New Zealand Veterinary Association which is the professional body that represents all veterinarians support the bill’s objectives as it will assist the Veterinary Council in discharging its statutory obligations. With that I commend the bill to the House.
