Jones Dail: Wine Bill — Second Reading Procedure In Committee Third Reading 
[Volume:612;Page:9491] 
DAIL JONES (NZ First) 
: 
 The speech we have just heard from the potential leader of the National Party was absolute rubbish. He showed absolutely no understanding of the wine industry at all. The thing about the wine industry is that if one label gets a bad name then our entire industry can get a bad name. No one in the wine industry would bag another competitor just for the sake of trying to bring him or her down. It will never happen intentionally because if one bags someone else one is shooting oneself in the foot. Our small niche wine industry works on the cooperation of all the winegrowers and winemakers in New Zealand working together which is why we have got such a harmonious piece of legislation. It is a pity the rest of the country cannot work together as well as the wine industry does. We have legislation here that the industry wholeheartedly supports. Is there any other legislation that has come before this Parliament since members returned for this session that has gone through so harmoniously? 
That was until we had a speech from Mr Gerry Brownlee the National member of Parliament for “Elam” who is trying very hard to make a leadership bid. He has shown he has absolutely no knowledge whatsoever of the wine industry. Obviously not much wine is grown in “Elam” although perhaps some is consumed by its member from time to time. 
Gerry Brownlee 
: I raise a point of order Madam Chairperson. It is not for me to tell you how to run the Committee but I take this opportunity to point out some matters relating to the Standing Orders. One is that a member is entitled to have the name of his or her seat correctly pronounced. I know that that member a connoisseur of the product we are discussing here has had a late dinner and might have a little trouble with his pronunciation. The seat is Ilam. Secondly it is most inappropriate for a member such as that to risk personal reflections for fear of the retribution that may soon come. 
DAIL JONES 
: I humbly apologise. The seat is Ilam. I stand corrected. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley) 
: Gerry Brownlee is correct: the pronunciation of his constituency should be correct. I am sure the member would want to pronounce it correctly. 
Rodney Hide 
: I raise a point of order Madam Chairperson. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley) 
: Is this a new point of order because I have ruled—[ 
Interruption 
] There will be silence during points of order. 
Rodney Hide 
: That is precisely my point of order if you would like to hear it. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley) 
: Is it a new point of order? 
Rodney Hide 
: Absolutely. It comes to my attention that you have made a ruling that there is to be no shouting out or interjections during points of order. When Mr Brownlee was taking his point of order Martin Gallagher sitting behind me was barracking on like a mad rabbit. As I got up to take my point of order Jill Pettis called out. If members from this side of the Committee do that we are thrown out but if one of your mates does it he or she can stay and the rules can be laughed at. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley) 
: The member has no right to make those insinuations. 
Rodney Hide 
: Of course I have. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley) 
: I tell Mr Hide that I am on my feet giving a ruling. There were several people saying things during those points of order. I will certainly warn people finally that there will be no discussion while points of order are being taken. 
Rodney Hide 
: I raise a point of order Madam Chairperson. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley) 
: No I have dealt with it. The member will be seated. If the member is dealing with the same point of order he will be seated. 
Rodney Hide 
: It is not. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley) 
: Is it a new point of order? 
Rodney Hide 
: It is a new point of order. Point one is that that was your third final warning. As I got up to take my point of order everyone heard Jill Pettis call out to me to sit down. After giving your third final warning you still did nothing. Why do you not act on what you say—“Final warning: Jill Pettis out.” 
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley) 
: I will give the ruling and I have said that there will be no discussion during points of order— 
Rodney Hide 
: She said it straight after you— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley) 
: While I am on my feet and I am speaking there will be silence—[ 
Interruption 
] Mr Hide that is the final warning. There will be silence when I am giving a ruling on a point of order and I say that to all members now. 
Gerry Brownlee 
: I raise a point of order Madam Chairperson. It is every member’s right to take a point of order but in so doing members need to be factually accurate and they need to refer to the Standing Orders. I am sorry to call attention to a quite serious mistake on the part of Mr Rodney Hide. He referred to a member Mr Martin Gallagher. Well everyone knows that he lost his seat in 1996.
