Bridges Simon: UrgencyText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeBridges Simon: Urgency[Sitting date: 25 November 2014. Volume:702;Page:780. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Deputy Leader of the House):I move That urgency be accorded the introduction and first reading of the Countering Terrorist Fighters Legislation Bill and its referral to a select committee. Urgency is requiredbecause of the urgency of the proposals contained in the bill. Following a narrow and tightly focused review of New Zealand’s settings in relation to foreign terrorist fighters the bill contains proposals that will strengthen the Government’s ability to deal with evolving threats. The legislation contains measures that can add to the safety and the security of New Zealand in the short term. It is the Government’s intention that this legislation be progressed before the House rises for Christmas so that we are in a stronger position to deal with the threats our agencies are seeing.

Volume:702;Page:760. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Mr SPEAKER: I have received letters from Dr Russel Norman the Rt Hon Winston Peters and Andrew Little seeking to debate under Standing Order 389 the report of the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security into the release of information by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service in July and August 2011. This is a particular case of recent occurrence—the inspector-general’s report was released today—and it does involve ministerial responsibility. Dr Norman’s application was received first. I therefore call on Dr Norman to move that the House take note of an urgent matter of public importance.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]11.JACQUI DEAN (National—Waitaki)to the Minister of Justice: What steps has she taken towards improving the trial and pre-trial experience for victims of sexual violence?Hon AMY ADAMS (Minister of Justice):Today I have asked the Law Commission to resume its work on improving the trial and pre-trial experience for victims in cases of sexual violence. Victims of sexual violence have already faced a brutal ordeal and we need to ensure that the court processes are as supportive of them as they can be. It is my expectation that this along with other work the Government has under way will make a meaningful contribution to improving the court experience of victims of sexual offending.Jacqui Dean: Is she considering as part of this work reversing the burden of proof in sexual violence cases?Hon AMY ADAMS: No I am not. It is important to strike the right balance between making the process easier for victims and protecting the right of defendants to face a fair trial. This Government recognises that the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial are fundamental parts of our criminal justice system protected under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act. To my mind reversing the burden of proof would be a step too far.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]10.METIRIA TUREI (Co-Leader—Green)to the Minister in charge of the NZ Security Intelligence Service: Does he have confidence in the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service?Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON (Minister in charge of the NZ Security Intelligence Service):Yes.Metiria Turei: Does the Minister consider it appropriate for the SIS director Rebecca Kitteridge to have made public statements in defence of the Prime Minister’s office during an election campaign and prior to the inspector-general’s investigation into the role of the Prime Minister’s office in releasing SIS information?Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON: That is a malignant description of what the director said. The director had made it clear soon after her appointment that after a 6-months settling-in period she would make a number of public statements. That she did. As I say the member’s characterisation of what Ms Kitteridge did is wrong and it is malignant.Metiria Turei: Given that two directors of the SIS have now interfered with a general election—Dr Tucker in 2011 and Ms Kitteridge in 2014—why would the New Zealand public have any confidence that the SIS will use its intended extended powers in the public interest as opposed to National’s party political purposes?Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON: If the previous question was malignant then that question was especially malignant. She does no service to her party or this place by asking filth like that. The director of the SIS is a highly professional woman who is doing a great job and is acting on the recommendations of the inspector-general in a very careful and professional manner.

Once finished in the first half of 2015 the $1.2 million of roading improvements at Panakou Hill and Wallace Hill on State Highway 35 north of Gisborne will help drivers keep themselves their passengers and fellow road users safe as they travel around their region.Jonathan Young: What commitments has the Government made as part of the accelerated regional roading package?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: Earlier this year the Government announced that it is investing $212 million from the Future Investment Fund in a package of 14 regionally important roads and State highway projects. The Government has committed up to $80 million to accelerate five critically important regional roading projects in Northland the East Coast Taranaki Canterbury and Otago. These projects are fully investigated and designed and address current safety resilience and productivity issues. Through the Government’s Accelerated Regional Roading Package we are ensuring that New Zealand’s regions which are a key driver of our economy have modern transport infrastructure.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]6.MELISSA LEE (National)to the Minister for Tertiary Education Skills and Employment: How is the Government encouraging more Kiwis to return home to provide skills for New Zealand businesses and contribute to economic growth?Hon STEVEN JOYCE (Minister for Tertiary Education Skills and Employment):In a number of ways. Over the weekend I attended the first of four job fairs we are holding in capital cities across Australia. The first job fair held in Perth saw some 1650 people the majority of whom were Kiwis turning up to talk to the 35 employers and business groups represented. The Perth fair along with one to be held in Sydney this coming weekend and fairs in Brisbane and Melbourne early next year are designed to encourage more Kiwis and indeed more skilled Australians to move here to help contribute to our growing New Zealand economy.Melissa Lee: What was the feedback from job seekers and employers at the job fair?Hon STEVEN JOYCE: What was evident for those attending the job fair is that they consider Australia and New Zealand to be a single job market. There was a lot of interest from people living and working in Perth and Western Australia about the positive performance of the New Zealand economy particularly from those who have been there a number of years. Understandably some of the desire to return to New Zealand stems from lifestyle or family reasons but what is clear is that it is the growth in the New Zealand economy and its employment rates that are now attracting people back. I understand that the employers present have brought back a significant number of CVs and lists of potential employees who will help with the 1200 or so vacancies advertised at the fair.Melissa Lee: What recent reports has he seen on migration?Hon STEVEN JOYCE: It is very interesting actually. Yesterday the international travel and migration statistics for October were released. They showed that last month for the first time since December 1993 there were more people arriving in New Zealand from Australia than were moving out to Australia from New Zealand—the first time since December 1993. It is not a massive number but it is a significant trend. To put that in some context between 2000 and 2005 alone there were 110000 net departures from New Zealand to Australia. So although it is true that there has been an increase in unemployment in Australia unemployment in New Zealand is now at its lowest level since March 2009. The New Zealand economy is growing strongly and more and more Kiwis want to be part of it here in New Zealand.

I would like to particularly focus on our kiwifruit exporters who will be relieved in only 6 years’ time of a 45 percent tariff that was driving them out of the market. It is worth about $20 million to them.

I want to acknowledge the tireless work of the negotiation teams particularly those of Ngāti Hauā especially to turn round a bill within 7 months. That is a record. I also want to thank the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations the Hon Chris Finlayson for his undying dedication to ensuring that all our claims will be settled within due course.I also want to acknowledge ngā hapū o Ngāti Hauā Ngāti Te Oro Ngāti Werewere Ngāti Waenganui Ngāti Te Rangitaupi and Ngāti Rangi Tawhaki because I have heard those hapū spoken of in this House today by only two of us and I just want to acknowledge you and acknowledge the work that you have done.This settlement claim provides redress in both financial and cultural form to the trustees of the Ngāti Hauā Iwi Trust. It represents good progress in the Waikato and Raukawa claims. As I said in my previous kōrero today is a day of celebration. It is the beginning of a prosperous future for ngā whānau o Ngāti Hauā.As I said in the start of my kōrero if you can turn round a bill like this in 7 months just imagine what you can do with the claims that you are receiving today. I think that you have great potential and I am really proud that my cousin married one of you. My cousin’s name was Taui Paku. He married a Marie Paku—I cannot remember her maiden name because back in the day I was brought up thinking that all Māori were Ngati Porou. When my cousin Taui passed he asked that he would go back to lie at the Ngāti Hauā marae where his wife is from and so we travelled there and he is buried alongside in your beautiful urupā just out of Cambridge. So I am very pleased that my cousin is in your arms being looked after by you.In closing I want to say thank you all for coming along today. I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I wish you safe journeys home and hopefully we will see you sometime into the future. I wholeheartedly commend this bill to the House.Bill read a third time.

Volume:702;Page:1295. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]BRETT HUDSON (National):It is indeed a privilege to stand and take this short call in the third reading of this bill. Allow me to acknowledge Ngāti Koroki Kahukura. With settlements such as these it is important and appropriate that they recognise the wrongs in the past of our country and that they seek to make right those wrongs. In doing so they also help to strengthen the partnership between the Crown and Māori. Settlements help iwi across the country unlock economic potential and boost regional and provincial productivity. It is important in addressing the wrongs that we provide that capability to iwi and it is completely in keeping with this Government’s priority to build a more competitive and productive economy. It is our wish and our hope that through this settlement and through the other settlements we have made Māori will be able to fully participate in that growing and more productive economy.I would also like to acknowledge the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations the Hon Christopher Finlayson along with all the iwi across New Zealand who have been willing and able to enter into settlement negotiations. It is his drive and his determination that has seen 48 deeds of settlement signed since November 2008 and an outlook that by 2017 all willing and able iwi should have deeds of settlement completed. It is indeed an honour to be a participant no matter how small in these proceedings. I think that by looking back acknowledging the wrongs of the past and seeking to put them right we actually clear the way to a better future for all New Zealand. I commend this bill to the House.

I want to say that I was very disappointed in the kōrero of our Green member because today whānau is a day of celebration for Ngāti Koroki Kahukura. Today is your day and we are here to celebrate with you not to dredge up and talk very unsavoury kōrero to you. I also want to say to you that in listening to our previous speaker the member Pita Paraone he is right. The pockets of the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations are only so big and I know that we all want it to be much bigger than it is but that is where it is. I think that the Minister and the iwi negotiators need to be congratulated because this has been a tough process for everybody—for absolutely everybody—but we have managed to get to this point the point of celebration.People start to talk in this House about drops in buckets but I can tell you that from a drop comes the rain and from the rain comes the moana and the awa. That is how I look at the claims settlement process. We started with a drop in 2012 with the first signing of this deed and we end today with the beautiful rain that spreads over all of you. That is the rain of your future. That will be the future of the mokopuna. It is what you do with it from here on out that makes the difference. I must say that I do support the Minister and the hard work that he has done for all the iwi of this country. He will continue to do that until every single Treaty settlement is settled in this House. That is the commitment of this Government and the commitment to everybody. So I say forget about the detractors. Close our ears. Let us look forward. Let us grow our iwi. Let us grow all iwi. We are the future. You are the future. When I look at the pēpi and I look at the hapū women who walk around our streets and our country that is our future. That is what we need to talk about. So I am very humbled to stand here today to support the Ngāti Koroki Kahukura Claims Settlement Bill.

Finlayson Christopher: Ngāti Hauā Claims Settlement Bill — In CommitteeText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeFinlayson Christopher: Ngāti Hauā Claims Settlement Bill — In Committee[Sitting date: 09 December 2014. Volume:702;Page:1275. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON (Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations):This is a very similar Supplementary Order Paper to the Supplementary Order Paper we have just dealt with in relation to the Ngāti Koroki Kahukura Claims Settlement Bill. It does a number of things. First it makes amendments that reflect the enactment of the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014. The second thing it does is remove provisions that provided for the possibility of an exchange of land which was contemplated when the bill was introduced and which related to an aspect of the cultural redress provided to the iwi. It was not thought it would be completed before the settlement date because the exchange has actually now been completed. So that solves that issue. Finally it updates the legal description of the cultural redress property described in the bill as a consequence of the exchange of land and some very recent survey work. So again like the other Supplementary Order Paper this Supplementary Order Paper is very technical and in the nature of a tidy-up.The question was put that the amendment set out on Supplementary Order Paper 38 in the name of the Hon Christopher Finlayson to Part 1 be agreed to.Amendment agreed to.Part 1 as amended agreed to.

Volume:702;Page:1274. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON (Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations):I just want to address briefly Supplementary Order Paper 37. As a consequence of the Historic Places Trust legislation being repealed earlier this year and replaced by the Heritage New Zealand legislation there are a couple of minor changes that will need to be made to the substantive legislation and that really is what this Supplementary Order Paper is about. Then there are some minor technical amendments to the bill and they are so minor I will not bother the Committee with them at this hour of the night. Thirdly as a result of recent survey work there are some minor changes to the legal descriptions of certain properties which are described in the bill.The question was put that the amendments set out on Supplementary Order Paper 37 in the name of the Hon Christopher Finlayson to Part 1 be agreed to.Amendments agreed to.Part 1 as amended agreed to.

Volume:702;Page:1273. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Dr JIAN YANG (National):I am very pleased to be the last speaker in the last reading of the legislation arising out of this particular bill the Countering Terrorist Fighters Legislation Bill. Perhaps I should summarise some main points. First of all I would say that this legislation is an effort to protect our national security and to fulfil our international obligations while at the same time trying to have safeguard measures. For that reason we have made a number of changes. Let me summarise a few of these changes. The previous speakers touched upon all sorts of changes. There are three or four major changes. First of all there is the sunset clause. As the previous speaker Jacinda Ardern has just mentioned the sunset clause will now expire on 1 April 2017 instead of 1 April 2018. Secondly visual surveillance is strictly limited to countering terrorism. Thirdly we say that the time of warrantless emergency surveillance is now shortened to 24 hours from 48 hours. These are efforts to make sure that we have safeguard measures there.Most important I would emphasise the other point that some other speakers have touched upon—that is the Muslim society. As a first-generation immigrant from an ethnic minority in New Zealand I fully appreciate the concerns of the Muslim society. A number of submitters mentioned this while at the hearings. New Zealand is an inclusive society. We all appreciate that and that is why we came to New Zealand. I was told recently that a local Muslim policeman opened a mosque in Taihape just for visitors and local community members. This is very important. We want to see such things happening more and more because we want to see a vibrant cultural society. New Zealand is doing well and we believe that this legislation itself will protect our national security and fulfil our international obligations but at the same time we will also make sure we treat our Muslim society very very fairly. I commend the bill to the House.

Volume:702;Page:1270. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]KANWALJIT SINGH BAKSHI (National):Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker for the opportunity to speak on the third reading of this legislation. Even though I am not on the Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade Committee I thought it was important for me to contribute in the third reading of this legislation. First of all I would like to congratulate the chair of this select committee Mark Mitchell on the hard work and the other members who contributed during the long hours of the select committee. I would also like to thank the officials for their work. It is really good to see quality legislation back in the House.I thought I would share some of the discussions I had with the Muslim community during the past few weeks. They have raised concerns about their family security. They did not talk about the legislation; they talked about the security of their families and the future of their families which are important to them. Here I would like to clarify the point raised by Ron Mark about whether David Bennett has worked with the Muslim community or not. I can vouch that I have visited the mosques in Hamilton on a number of occasions with the two hard-working MPs of Hamilton David Bennett and Tim Macindoe so I can assure that member that we are working with all communities of this country.While this legislation has been debated there have been a number of issues that have been raised. I would like to take this opportunity to say that the Muslim community should rest assured that they are living in a fair country. We have always welcomed the migrants coming into this country and we will continue to work. With these words I would like to conclude my speech and commend this legislation to the House.

Volume:702;Page:1263. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Dr SHANE RETI (National—Whangarei):Here in my last call I would just like to address a few questions around urgency. The question of urgency was raised many times during the Committee stage. The question was asked as to why the House was sitting under urgency on this legislation and I would like to summarise some points.First of all we have already mentioned UN Security Council Resolution 2178 and that was passed no more than a few months ago by the UN Security Council. It requires member States to act against foreign terrorist fighters. If the UN Security Council has seen the need for urgency to act so should we. I would like to read verbatim article 10 of that resolution: The Security Council “Stresses the urgent need to implement fully and immediately this resolution with respect to foreign terrorist fighters underscores the particular and urgent need to implement this resolution with respect to those foreign terrorist fighters who are associated with ISIL ANF and other cells affiliates splinter groups or derivatives of Al-Qaida” and it goes on. I make my point on the urgency that is conveyed in that clause.I think the second point is that the Cricket World Cup as has been commented on starts on 14 February next year 2015 and as an international fixture and focus our internal responsibilities and safety are paramount.The last thing I would like to comment on is the contextual urgency because the threat level in New Zealand has risen from “very low” to “low”. It is not a zero risk. The risk is possible but not expected. So let us put this in a context that we can understand that New Zealanders might understand. Last week I spoke to an earthquake expert at GNS Science and it turns out that the moment before the Canterbury earthquake—the moment before the Canterbury earthquake—the risk was “possible but not expected”. We need to live in a real world with all the challenges and benefits that that brings and with this bill we seek to work with New Zealanders to offer protection for New Zealanders at home for New Zealanders overseas and for the innocents abroad.In conclusion as a member of this committee we have heard evidence in private describing the terrorist risk to New Zealanders and I am persuaded that this legislation is essential that it is essential now and that it is fit for purpose and I commend it to the House.

The member will sit. I am just going to seek some advice. The member can make a personal statement on something that reflects on him but the member cannot revisit the ruling that I have made. Ron Mark—a personal statement.RON MARK: I just want to assure the House that as the only member of this House who has served an Arab leader in an Arab army as the only member of this House who has served in an Arab special force unit who has commanded Arab soldiers and who has been looked after by Arab soldiers I am not the sort of person who is blindly racist towards Middle Eastern Arab or Muslim people. I am the sort of person who has allowed Muslim soldiers to take charge of my children and protect them. That is all I wanted to say.
