Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]12.MARK MITCHELL (National—Rodney) to theMinister of Broadcasting: What progress has been made on the regional rollout of the digital switchover for New Zealand television viewers?Hon CRAIG FOSS (Minister of Broadcasting): There is just 1 month to go until all of New Zealand has digital TV. The upper North Island will be the final region to make the switch to digital on 1 December. The digital switch-over is one of the Government’s Business Growth Agenda objectives to help develop innovation infrastructure. Although awareness to go digital in the upper North Island is at around 95 percent more than 60000 homes in that region are still not ready and will be unable to view television unless those people make the necessary changes.Mark Mitchell: How can people find out more information on whether they need to go digital? [Interruption]Hon CRAIG FOSS: Listen carefully members. The Going Digital team will be boosting its presence across Auckland over the coming weeks to provide more information as to how to go digital. I would encourage people who have already gone digital to check on their family friends and neighbours to make sure that they have done the same. Anyone—I say to members opposite—needing more information can visit the Going Digital website or call 0800 838 800.

[Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order! Would the Hon Pita Sharples like to repeat that. I think that he may have transposed a date that may be significant. I ask the Minister just to answer the question again.Hon Dr PITA SHARPLES: I am sorry—14 October. Thank you.Mr SPEAKER: Thank you.Hon Nanaia Mahuta: When did he or his office first become aware thatMāori Television was planning to publish a story on inappropriate spending and financial mismanagement at the trust and its subsidiary TePātakaŌhanga?Hon Dr PITA SHARPLES: My answer is still the same. It was on 14 October. I was in Auckland and I was contacted from here when the airport was closed so I did not come down and that is the first time I heard of such allegations of inappropriate spending.Hon Nanaia Mahuta: When did he first discuss issues of financial mismanagement and inappropriate spending at the trust and its subsidiaries with the Minister of Education?Hon Dr PITA SHARPLES: It was the following day. I heard about it on 14 October and on 15 October Minister Parata and I convened a meeting with the trust and we discussed it that very next day. It was on that occasion that we decided that we needed an in-depth look at the matter.Hon Nanaia Mahuta: Does he think that it is acceptable for TePātakaŌhanga to provide internal loans to its trustees and why did the reporting and monitoring system not identify this as a risk earlier?Hon Dr PITA SHARPLES: TePātakaŌhanga is a private company. It is not administered or funded from the ministry. That is part of the terms of reference of the inquiry so we should find out about that.Hon Nanaia Mahuta: Does the scope of the independent review that the Minister referred to for the National TeKōhanga Reo Trust extend retrospectively to all spendingat TePātakaŌhanga by the trustees and staff for the period for which allegations of financial mismanagement have occurred; if not why not?Hon Dr PITA SHARPLES: The inquiry will concern all matters concerned with Government funding to the National TeKōhanga Reo Trust. It will also look at the matters raised with TePātakaŌhanga.

Originally we had a target of 188500 insulations by 2013 revised to 230000. In fact the programme will see in excess of 235000 homes insulated. A strong insulation industry has been built as a result of the programme and the benefits of home insulation are now well known. I want to thank third-party funders the insulation service providers and local authorities who have worked together with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority to help make Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart such a success.Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga: How is the new programme Warm Up New Zealand: Healthy Homes progressing?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: The new programme announced in this year’s Budget will offer free ceiling and underfloor insulation for low-income households particularly families with children and high health needs. It is expected that the programme will insulate at least 46000 homes over 3 years. The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority has already announced the first round of projects with generous third-party funding support spanning Northland to Southland.

Volume:694;Page:14362. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]SCOTT SIMPSON (National—Coromandel): The constituents of Coromandel want jobs they want opportunity and they want a chance to share in the great wave of tourist convention people who will come to Auckland and then on the shoulder of their conferences and conventions want to explore other parts of our beautiful country. My colleague Mark Mitchell made the point earlier this evening that people will want to go up to his electorate of Rodney and so too they will want to come to Coromandel. They will want to come to Coromandel to explore the lovely beautiful scenic attractions we have like the white sandy beaches and they will want an opportunity to experience the terrific quality of parliamentary representation.Tim Macindoe: They’ll come to Hamilton West as well.SCOTT SIMPSON: And they will come to Hamilton West as well. So this bill the New Zealand International Convention Centre Bill represents a very good deal for the people of Auckland. It represents a very good deal for the people of New Zealand.It strikes me as being somewhat truly bizarre that in 2001 a Labour-Greens administration supported a deal that was less favourable to the taxpayers than this one less beneficial to New Zealanders and yet it supported that deal. Did we hear a squeak? Did we hear a tweet? Did we hear a single word of opposition from the Greens to that deal? Not a single word and now today we have all these bucketloads of crocodile tears—Jami-Lee Ross: Sanctimonious.SCOTT SIMPSON: —about a significant deal that will be good for all New Zealanders. It is sanctimonious. My friend the member for Botany says that it is sanctimonious and he is absolutely right.This deal represents an exceptionally good opportunity not only for the people of Auckland but for surrounding districts as well because in the shoulder seasons we want tourists. We want them to come. We want them to come to New Zealand. We want them to experience the great delights that we have as a nation and this convention centre will help achieve that. I heartily commend the adoption of the second reading of the New Zealand International Convention Centre Bill to the House.The question was put that the amendments recommended by the Commerce Committee by majority be agreed to.

Volume:694;Page:14356. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]MARK MITCHELL (National—Rodney): Firstly I would just like to acknowledge my colleague and good friend Kanwaljit Bakshi who is a very very good member of the Commerce Committee. He has had some really positive input in the work that the select committee has been doing on this New Zealand International Convention Centre Bill. He is also very passionate about the community that he represents. I think it goes a long way to talk about the poor quality of the debate when you have a member of this House who gets up and accuses him of speaking rubbish.I would like to say that I find it amazing that there are members of this Parliament who are getting up and saying that there are going to be no benefits to New Zealand at all of us being able to attract a further 33000 tourists each year into our country and that there is going to be no positive spin-off. I would like to use a couple of quotes from BusinessNew Zealand’s Chief Executive Phil O’Reilly. He said: “For New Zealand to deliver on the goal of achieving more high value tourism an international quality convention centre is essential.” I agree with him entirely.I would just like to talk about my own electorate of Rodney. When we have 33000 additional visitors coming into Auckland each year they are not going to sit in a convention centre; they will want to get out and experience New Zealand. They will want to take in the Kiwi experience. Rodney has got wineries. We have got fantastic horse trekking outfits. We have got Snowplanet in Silverdale. We have the Pūhoi cheese factory and the historic Pūhoi Pub. We have the Waiwera hot pools. We have SheepWorld between Warkworth and Wellsford. We have got wonderful facilities at Gulf Harbour. We have got wonderful accommodation and lodges in Rodney to stay in.Actually if those 33000 delegates arrive in New Zealand each year I am very confident that they are going to be out spending and wanting to experience and putting more money into our local economy. So I am very very happy to stand here to support this bill. I commend it to the House. Thank you.

Volume:694;Page:14340. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]MIKE SABIN (National—Northland): Unfortunately that member Mr Goff after many distinguished years in this House has not learnt that just because he says something loudly it does not actually make it factually correct. The trouble is—and Mr Goff summed it up right at the end of his speech—that he is trying to somehow tie this bill the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Bill back to the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) legislation and the flaws that actually that Labour Government passed quite willingly. It swept that one under the corner of the carpet. This bill has got nothing to do with that legislation and the member knows that. What disrupts the credibility of that party is that it keeps trying to tie back legislation to something that is all about a scandal because it—Dr David Clark: Read the bill.MIKE SABIN: I have read the bill.Dr David Clark: You said this isn’t related to the other bill.MIKE SABIN: Well actually I say for that member that what this bill will deal with more is the gangsters who are out there manufacturing P and getting away with blue murder in what they do and the means by which the powers that have warrants to intercept those communications access those communications from the agencies. It is nothing more than systems and processes. It does not in any way change any existing safeguards.Although people on that side of the House want to whip up some sort of conspiracy the New Zealand public have long ago woken up to the story that members on that side of the House are crying wolf saying “Oh please believe us; it must be a conspiracy.” and manufacturing this that and the other. But it does not stick because you do not make sense—sorry not you Mr Assistant Speaker. Those members do not make sense in their argument.This bill does not change the authority. It does not change the way that those organisations have to go about getting warrants to intercept the information. There is nothing to see here. There is nothing to see but an Opposition party that is floundering around trying to whip up a crisis where there is not one to see. New Zealanders back a Government that actually gets on and protects their interests and does not dilly-dally and play politics.

Volume:694;Page:14337. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]IAN McKELVIE (National—Rangitīkei): It is a pleasure to take a brief call on the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Bill. I find myself disagreeing with the previous speaker Richard Prosser which is sad because some of the things he says from time to time I agree with. I do agree with the fact that there are some very intelligent people on this side of the House however.Hon Phil Goff: Name them.IAN McKELVIE: I certainly will not name myself. I am proud to belong to a Government that has the courage to do what is best for New Zealanders the courage to preserve democracy in a time of great change and a time when the telecommunications industry is changing by the minute.Grant Robertson talked about the broad powers that this bill contains. He talked about a lot of issues related to this bill that led me to believe that he did not understand the legislation. He in my view is arrogant in himself and in his disregard for the well-being of law-abiding and hard-working New Zealanders.We then heard the Greens take a similar approach through their leader distorting the truth of the matter even further by linking our operations and legislation to the rest of the world in a manner that is clearly untrue. I think he must have been out there in that jungle he has created on the front lawn.We then heard some more I guess scuttlebutt from the other side of the House that clearly misrepresented the intention of this bill and in my view leads to the undermining of public confidence in our security services which are extremely strong.We sat through a number of submissions and a significant amount of work on this bill to get to the point we are at today. I have a great deal of pleasure in supporting this bill and I am sure that it will create an environment and do the job that it has set out to do in protecting those New Zealanders who need protecting from the rest of the world. Thank you.

Volume:694;Page:14335. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]MARK MITCHELL (National—Rodney): Our national security fundamentally is very very important to all of us. It is something that should be taken seriously. I was very disappointed with the contribution made by the Opposition Leader of the House on the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Bill. He spent most of his speech attacking other members of the House which probably indicates that really he did not have that much to contribute. One thing that I did agree with him on was the fact that threats have changed a lot over the last decade. In the last 10 years there have been significant changes to the types of threats that we have to be aware of and try to detect. Hence we have to keep updating and changing our legislation to stay in step with those threats.New Zealand in terms of transparency and oversight levels has one of the highest levels of transparency and oversight of our agencies which are there to provide protection for us of any country in the world. I would defy anyone to name somewhere that has a higher level of transparency.Unfortunately I can take only a short call on this but I just wanted to finish by highlighting again that this bill does not change the existing safeguards to protect people’s privacy. It does not change in any way the authority of agencies to intercept telecommunications and it does not require data to be stored or stored data to be disclosed. I am very happy to commend this bill to the House. Thank you.

Over the past month the Government has entered into partnership agreements with Accessible Properties Habitat for Humanity Comcare Trust VisionWest Community Trust the New Zealand Housing Foundation and the Chinese New Settlers Services Trust for the construction of 158 homes in Christchurch Wellington Hamilton Tauranga and Auckland with the average contribution of taxpayers being about $180000 per home. The other changes that we are making with the Social Housing Reform (Housing Restructuring and Tenancy Matters Amendment) Bill which we hope to have passed by Christmas will further help the growth of the sector.Alfred Ngaro: What are the advantages of having a more diverse social housing sector involving community organisations and what has the Government learnt from international experience?Hon Dr NICK SMITH: The first is that social housing tenants often have complex needs. They need more than just a roof over their heads; they need specialist community providers that are able to provide those wraparound services that make a real difference for families. The second is that community organisations do a better job of stretching the taxpayer dollar and getting more homes for the taxpayer dollar. The third is that if we look at community housing organisations which are huge in places like the United Kingdom and Australia they have a far better record of consistently managing the quality of their housing far more than State housing organisations not just in New Zealand but internationally. Our long-term goal is in fact to grow the community housing sector to up to 20 percent of New Zealand’s social housing.Alfred Ngaro: How do the Government’s social housing reforms fit with the Government’s broader programme to improve access to affordable housing?Hon Dr NICK SMITH: The changes that we are making in social housing are just a part of the programme. We have announced changes in past legislation to free up land supply. We have expanded support for first-home buyers with our changes to KiwiSaver and Welcome Home Loans. We have legislation that will be coming into Parliament around development contributions. Tomorrow I will be announcing along with my colleague the Minister of Commerce the results of our market study into building materials costs because all of these measures are required if we are going to give Kiwi families access to more affordable housing.

Volume:694;Page:14319. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]8.MIKE SABIN (National—Northland) to theAssociate Minister of Justice: What has been the outcome of his review of the 2002 Youth Offending Strategy?Hon CHESTER BORROWS (Associate Minister of Justice): Youth justice in New Zealand has seen significant changes since the 2002 strategy was set including the very successful 2010 Fresh Start reforms. This has seen real reductions in youth crime with appearances before the Youth Court coming down 19 percent—well on our way to delivering our ambitious Better Public Services target of a 25 percent reduction by 2017. Last week I released a replacement document for the 2002 strategy to take what we have learnt over the last decade and set the direction for youth justice over the next decade. The Youth Crime Action Plan reflects what those on the front line have told us: that we are world leading in youth justice but we need further gains and need to lift our performance at every point across the system. The plan is a package of changes across the youth justice system that will do just that.Mike Sabin: How will the Youth Crime Action Plan deliver on the ambitious targets?Hon CHESTER BORROWS: The plan identifies three key areas where we will focus our efforts over the next 10 years: working in closer partnership with community organisations preventing unnecessary escalation of young people into the system and creating more opportunities to get young offenders safely out of the system and to keep them out. It includes 30 specific actions over the next 2 years covering these areas and Government support for the sector. It keeps us accountable to the communities we serve including regular opportunities to review progress and set new actions that respond to emerging challenges and opportunities.Mike Sabin: What are some of the actions that the Youth Crime Action Plan sets for the next 2 years?Hon CHESTER BORROWS: It sets specific actions including working with communities to create local plans that address specific challenges in their communities making family group conferences as user-friendly as possible so that families get the best possible resolution for them improving planning and support for youth returning to the community after an out-of-home court order ensuring that every possible youth offender is referred to police youth aid and increasing the use of supported and electronically monitored bail to reduce the number of young people held on remand in youth justice residences.

Volume:694;Page:14314. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]6.NICKY WAGNER (National—Christchurch Central) to theMinister for Tertiary Education Skills and Employment: What progress has been made in the rebuild of the University of Canterbury?Hon STEVEN JOYCE (Minister for Tertiary Education Skills and Employment): Last week I was very pleased to announce that the Government will provide up to $260 million to the University of Canterbury to support its rebuild programme following the Canterbury earthquakes. As a result of the quakes student numbers were down 15 percent in 2012 compared with the previous 3-year average. It has been a tough time for everyone at the university. It has developed an excellent campus-wide redevelopment programme to refresh and modernise its campus and supporting infrastructure for the benefit of its students. The new campus will truly be world leading. There will be a new integrated regional science centre fully modern science teaching and research facilities as well as an expanded and fully modernised College of Engineering and other facilities. The Government is delighted to make this contribution to assist in the Canterbury recovery.Nicky Wagner: What will be the total investment by the university in the rebuild of the campus?Hon STEVEN JOYCE: It is a very significant programme. The university’s total programme of investment is costed at $1.1 billion over a period of 10 years. The university estimates that it will actually spend in the local economy in total in both capital and operating expenditure about $4 billion over the next 10 years as well as bring an additional 3000 domestic and international student places into the region. The rebuild of the university is another very significant injection into the already fast-growing Canterbury economy and a significant part of the wider earthquake recovery in the region because it is of course a very important part of the region—that is its leading university.Nicky Wagner: What other steps is the Government taking to assist tertiary education in Canterbury?Hon STEVEN JOYCE: Of course the tertiary education sector was hit hard by the earthquakes. Since the earthquakes student achievement component funding for Canterbury tertiary institutions has been maintained at 2011 levels despite the downturn in students. Institutions have also been exempted from funding recoveries where enrolments did not reach expected levels. The Tertiary Education Commissionhas recently approved a continuation of this exemption for 2014. Recently of course I announced that the Government would inject just under $19 million into the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology to enable it to further expand its trade training capacity. The expansion means that the institute will be able to once again grow its numbers of students in trade training by a further 1000 student places each year through until 2018.
