Mitchell MarkHon MARK MITCHELL (National—Rodney): I have to say that probably one of the most accurate statements in the House today was that of Mr O'Connor when he said he felt like he was on the Titanic. It's pretty hard to argue with that sentiment. I just wanted to address to the Minister in the chair Kelvin Davis—I genuinely appreciate the fact that he is standing and taking calls and addressing the issues that we're raising because we don't always see this in the House and it is actually a good part of the democratic process in terms of us talking to these bills. But I would ask him to stand—and he quoted the Act and the section that relates to the use of police cells—and clarify for us because this bill was going to make it very clear that Corrections staff were going to be able to come in and manage any prisoners that were going to have to be kept on remand in police cells. If he could clarify for me: is that going to give Corrections staff the legal power to be able to come in and have oversight and run that or is it going to suck up police resources and only police are going to be able to do that? If he could clarify that that would be much appreciated.Coming back to the letter my colleague the Hon Dr Nick Smith has been very clear about this and has articulated it very clearly for the House today that we did suffer our country's worst tragedy in terms of a mass killing in Christchurch not actually just for New Zealand but globally. It is abhorrent to think that the accused was able to continue to spew his hateful and violent rhetoric through letters that were coming out of our corrections system. Actually as a member of the Justice Committee I can say that we took that very seriously and we on this side of the House asked that we initiate an inquiry around that so that we'd actually find out and get to the bottom of it and we'd make sure that something like this could never happen again. Sadly we couldn't get that through. That was voted down by other members of the committee. But I'd like the Minister to stand and tell us why he has not supported making this bill much stronger and much clearer around ensuring that that can't happen again. Like the Hon Dr Nick Smith has said we've heard lots of comments today from the Government benches around prisoner rights. What about the rights of the families and the friends of the people who were left behind and who are still having to deal with the human tragedy of that attack in the—Michael Wood: The bill deals with that. That member's voting against that. Hon MARK MITCHELL: Sorry what was that? Michael Wood: The bill deals with that matter. Hon MARK MITCHELL: The bill doesn't deal with that matter at all. Ginny Andersen: It does. Hon MARK MITCHELL: It doesn't. A big part of why we're not supporting this bill is because we don't feel like it's strong enough right? That's the reality of it. If you're against making it stronger then stand up and take a call and explain to us Mr Michael Wood why you don't want to make those provisions stronger within the bill. I'd be pleased to hear a call from you but I'd be even more pleased to hear a call from the Minister to explain—CHAIRPERSON (Hon Ruth Dyson): From me? Hon MARK MITCHELL: No not you Madam Chair although it's nice to see you—CHAIRPERSON (Hon Ruth Dyson): So don't say you". Hon MARK MITCHELL: —in the Chamber. But it would be even better to see the Minister stand and take a call and explain that to the committee. Thank you very much Madam Chair."
