Bishop Chris; Tisch LindsayCHRIS BISHOP (National): Well it was a scary night 2 weeks ago on Sunday. I was doing some emails about 3 past 12 when a shuddering like I have never really felt before came through our house in Pētone and I will freely admit to being pretty frightened. As a Wellingtonian growing up a born and bred guy from the Hutt and living in Wellington for all but 3 of my 33 years you do get used to earthquakes and you get used to the small jolts and the shudders and you sort of ride them out. But this was like something no one has ever felt before and I guess I have a new appreciation for the people of Christchurch for all their hardship in the 2010 and 2011 quakes. It was a sort of roiling thunderous cacophony of noise and sound at our place and it was a pretty frightening experience. We have been affected out in the Hutt. One of the by-products of the earthquake has been the Queensgate shopping complex—the Event Cinemas there and the carpark underneath have been pretty badly affected and as members will know are having to be pretty urgently demolished. Of course the surrounding shops particularly New World and the Angus Inn next door are within the cordon and have been evacuated and people are not allowed to be in there or work in there because of the potential danger that if another quake strikes that building will fall down. It is being demolished reasonably quickly probably sometime before Christmas. My office actually is just literally right outside the cordon and the house is probably about 60 metres as the crow flies from a couple of those stores—from the Angus Inn and from New World. So I have I guess you would say an acute appreciation of some of the issues that are happening. It is great to see the Government's support package being extended to the Hutt Valley and I want to place that on the record for the House. It is extended to the Hutt Valley and to Wellington as well. I know my colleagues Paul Foster-Bell and Brett Hudson are very appreciative of that as well—as I know Grant Robertson is and Labour colleagues across the House.That is the other point I would make—that this is really Parliament at its best I think. We have already heard the fulsome tributes from Mr Mitchell to the Acting Minister of Civil Defence Gerry Brownlee and the wider Government team for the spirit of collegiality and camaraderie that pervades this issue that we are dealing with and the bills that have been placed before the House—and that is great to see. It is great to see that MPs can put aside party political differences and probably members of the public would argue that we should put aside party political differences on more occasions than just dealing with earthquake recovery legislation or in this case civil defence emergency management legislation and they would probably be right. But it is good that on this really important issue we can put aside those politics.This is a very simple bill. Members opposite and on this side of the House have canvassed its simple provisions. It is a sensible piece of legislation and I do not have anything much more to add than to endorse the comments of my colleagues so far from both sides of the House actually and endorse this bill to the House.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): The Hon David Parker—5 minutes.
