Rurawhe AdrianLAWRENCE YULE (National—Tukituki): That was a fine performance—a fine performance—about potatoes from the previous speaker Greg O'Connor. But I do want to come back to what we're trying to do here and really the importance of today. Today the largest spending and borrowing Budget of all time—and about three hours afterwards we're in urgency debating at a first reading a piece of legislation that is now going to have a six-month select committee process. It defies logic that on the day of the Budget New Zealand's worst economic day in decades we are discussing a bill like this under urgency.It's clear we support this bill going to the first reading because there are some very good things in it. But I challenge the Government including the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Forestry: we have a six-month process; why do we not in this bill address the issue of forestry? The only investment available for foreign investors right now is to go and buy farmland and plant it in trees and members only need to talk—and I know the Ministers have—to the mayors of Wairoa Gisborne the Wairarapa to know that they are horrified with what's going on horrified. So why in this bill when all these other things are in here to be looked at has this Government conveniently chosen not to bring this piece of legislation before the House? After all we have six months—six months—of a select committee process. I think it's deliberate. I think it's deliberate because the Government know there is a big con going on in New Zealand when the only farmland you can buy without any necessary approval is good New Zealand farmland taking sheep off it and putting it into pine trees. It is amazing that two months ago farmers were enemy number one of the coalition Government—enemy number one. Now they are the saviours of New Zealand—the saviours of New Zealand. They're going to come out—the agricultural industry is going to save New Zealand and bring it out of this great recession. They're going to pay the borrowings they're going to pay all the money back and they're going to help New Zealand out.That same Government that has turned on a dime in two months—that same Government—now wants to plant all the East Coast of New Zealand in pine trees because this bill had an opportunity to try and redress that balance but they've chosen not to. And I'm quite upset about that because ultimately in communities like mine to the south of where I represent to the north of where I represent—and Kiritapu Allan knows this; Meka Whaitiri knows this; they all know what's going on. Yet if I look on this paper—not a mention not a mention of what we're going to do about forestry.In closing I want to talk about one issue of this bill which I particularly support and that is around leasing of interests of less than 10 years where this threshold has reached into a single interest. I want to point out what this practically means in my own electorate. A significant number of horticultural operations and a significant number of international interests like Heinz Wattie's and McCain have a supply chain which relies on leases of farmland and unless this bill is passed and it is changed—and I very much support this part—they have to apply for the Overseas Investment Office to renew their lease. Now they are international corporates. They are employing thousands of people in my electorate. They're a wonderful company. They're using our land and resources on a lease basis—they don't own it—and there is a flaw in the law which this bill addresses. It's very costly very disruptive and above all it takes away a lot of confidence.The other thing I want to talk about is water bottling and the Hon Eugenie Sage has talked about it. Yes in certain communities it is a hot button issue but in other communities it's not. If you're on the West Coast and you get 5 metres of rain a year—and I'm guessing what the number is—and most of it goes from the mountains to the sea if somebody wanted to come and set up a water bottling plant on the West Coast of the South Island and employ 1000 people you would get a very different result than you might get in Hawke's Bay. So I think we need to be very careful—very careful—how we control water bottling. I accept it's an issue but in some parts—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): Order! The member's time has expired. This is a split call—[Interruption] Order! This is a split call. I call David Seymour—five minutes.
