SpeechHon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs): I want to first thank the member for the work that he does chairing the Economic Development Science and Innovation Committee and for the questions that have come my way which are—you know two that will be front of mind for members of this House. I will answer the member's two questions and I just note that I had a conversation with the Opposition who would like us to focus on the Commerce Act first and then statistics after that. I am happy to take the questions as they come. But perhaps if the committee felt—it's the committee's will but if the committee wanted to organise itself that way I'd be more than happy but I'll answer the member's questions straight off around Stats New Zealand and the work that's being undertaken to support a successful 2023 census. There has been a whole lot more engagement with communities ahead of the census and as an example Stats New Zealand has been working with iwi and Māori stakeholders in their respective regions to try and ensure that there is engagement well ahead of the census so that approaches can be developed that better support the collection of accurate data and statistics from populations who traditionally have not at such high rates responded to the census. There will be more paper forms available this time around with 44 percent of all dwellings receiving paper forms prior to census day and that's a significant increase from 2018 when only 3 percent of households received paper forms in the same period. The final numbers will be confirmed after the dress rehearsal. Look more than double the number of census collectors will be available at census time. There were 1800 in 2018 and there'll be up to 4000 for Census 2023. There'll be more assistance to complete census forms: help at the doorstep or crossing the doorstep to provide assistance. These are all measures that have been taken in response to the challenges of the 2018 census.In respect of section 36 the member has asked what measures have been taken around prohibition of market power and I'm sure this will be raised by members opposite as well. I do want to thank the committee for its support of the legislation recently passed which strengthened section 36 of the Commerce Act and the strengthened legislation will give the Commerce Commission better tools to take cases where it observes behaviour that may appear to be anti-competitive and it will also more likely deter anti-competitive behaviour in the market. It has been very difficult to enforce section 36. Historically I note that the Commerce Commission has taken five cases only since the legislation was introduced in 1986 and only two of them had been successful and the last of these cases concerned conduct in the early 2000s. So it's been felt that really that legislation has not had the teeth that was necessary to effectively enforce competition or to dissuade anti-competitive conduct and the reforms align with the prohibition in Australia the equivalent prohibition and uses a test that already operates in other parts of the Commerce Act. I'm expecting the Commerce Commission to provide appropriate guidance around it too. So look I think I'll leave that there and I'll invite contributions from the Opposition.
