Boyack RachelRACHEL BOYACK (Labour—Nelson): Thank you Mr Chair. Thank you members for the questions and I'll take this call just to go through some of those questions and respond to them.I'll just respond first to the questions from the Hon Judith Collins regarding te reo Māori and the use of te reo Māori in documents. This has actually been quite an interesting discussion through the select committee process. Even in earlier readings some of my colleagues who've worked in the law in particular made comments I recall around the need for Māori at times to be written with plain language in mind. The bill is explicit that it refers to English within the documentation that's used. The comments I do want to make on this just for the committee of the whole House just for clarity is that there are often times when words come into everyday use from Māoridom that become used within documents—we think of words like mahi" like "kia ora". In Nelson we often say "Nelson Whakatū". These are the types of words and there are phrases—there are many examples that often are used within documents.There are often times within public sector agencies and other organisations where they will actually also translate that—it doesn't happen all the time. I'll note though that—for example with the weather there is often translation. So what was really clear for the Governance and Administration Committee is that that's actually something that we like to see. We want to encourage te reo Māori as an official language of New Zealand and we want to ensure that that is upheld within documentation but recognising that this is changing over time and that over a period of time more words like "mahi" for example become more widespread and more understood by society and people are more willing to accept those words within documents.Just to talk specifically around the use of the phrase "intended audience" the original writing of the bill had "intended reader". Through the select committee process one of the things we considered was that "intended reader" could be quite defined whereas what we want to do is ensure we're talking about the public generally or potentially groups of people within the public. And I just note comments from my colleague Naisi Chen—who was also a very helpful member of the select committee as we went through the bill—that there could be times where a document is intended for a particular group of people a particular ethnicity a particular age group a particular region where it might be necessary to ensure that we're thinking about that audience.On that point what the bill does—and we'll come to this when we come to Part 2 but I'll just foreshadow now that there is an important part in Part 2 around placing the obligation of setting those guidelines around plain language on the Public Service Commissioner and that actually the select committee's view was rather than rushing all of that detail into the bill into the legislation it should go into guidelines issued by the Public Service Commissioner rather than stipulating all of that in extreme detail across into the bill. We will come to that in a lot more detail in Part 2 of the debate and I'm very happy to engage at that point.Mr Brown also made some acknowledgment around software. Again I'll probably come to this a bit in Part 2 as well but just noting that for people who have accessibility needs there often is software that can be applied such as readers of PDFs—that's incredibly useful for people who have impaired vision and this is another matter where I've had constituents come to me directly around documents they've—Hon Michael Woodhouse: So why isn't that in the bill?RACHEL BOYACK: —received. And so—we have written that into that bill we'll get to that when we get to that point in Part 2 around accessibility. I recall that conversation that we had in select committee around accessibility—we put that in for that exact reason.Just noting as well around the type of documents that will be covered there are two essential components to this. One is around services that people have access to. As someone who lives in New Zealand there are services and benefits that people have access to and understanding what those are is really important. The other part is the obligations placed on people. Again those are essentially the two pieces. As a New Zealander as somebody who lives in New Zealand what are your obligations and what are the benefits and rights that you have. The bill seeks to ensure that that information is presented to the public in a way that can be understood to ensure people have access to the benefits that they're entitled to and that they comply with the requirements of them. Thank you."
