Belich CamillaCAMILLA BELICH (Labour): Thank you Mr Chair. I would like to also support the amendments of my colleague Rachel Boyack and also I have an amendment in my own name in relation to this part. My amendment really goes to the heart I think of the Government's justification for this bill which is essentially that we've had an election and the Government wants to implement their commitments from during the election.I think that that's an interesting proposal. I would also say that another option could be—if truly there is generally a feeling within New Zealand that this particular piece of legislation must be introduced—to adopt my amendment to the title and commencement clauses new clause 2. My amendment says that this Act comes into force the day after Royal assent following a public referendum in which 50 percent plus one—Hon Member: Are you going to pay for it?CAMILLA BELICH: —of New Zealand public votes in favour of the wording of this repeal bill.Hon Member: Waste some more money.CAMILLA BELICH: And it's interesting that people on the other side are bringing up who's going to pay for it because I think it's quite clear who is going to pay for the repeal of this bill and it's the vulnerable workers in New Zealand. So that is my amendment and I seek the Minister's comment and support for that amendment to truly guarantee and prove that there is a mandate for introduction.I would also support my colleague Rachel Boyack's amendment to the commencement clause clause 2 and the reason for that is: often in New Zealand we introduce legislation which takes time in order for the benefits of it to be obvious to people. It's regretful in this situation that we haven't had the opportunity to see a fair pay agreement in place. We think on our side of the House that there's a lot of evidence that they would be very successful and I in my next contribution will speak to some of the elements that were raised in the part that we voted on in the bill. I think that there are actually some benefits to employers and employees working together and looking towards a different way of working in New Zealand. We can look at the wages that we have now and the productivity we have and we can see that the status quo is not working.In terms of the title of the bill I and many of us on this side of the House are fundamentally opposed to this repeal bill and of its name—opposed to what that title suggests. We do not consider that the Fair Pay Agreements Act should be repealed for the arguments that we've raised in previous hearings only today and also in the arguments that we've raised in the committee of the whole House as well. So I would encourage the Minister to respond to that. I also wanted to support my colleague Rachel Boyack's amendment to the change of the title which I believe is more correct in the nature of the bill.I did have a technical question and it may be that this is not the part for it but I couldn't find the correct section of the bill as to where it's expressed so if you would indulge me until I can get an answer for that please. It could be that it is in the commencement and the title section. The explanatory note on the repeal bill states that the one area that won't be repealed is the Employment Court 2000 fair pay agreement amendment regulations in relation to the technical amendment to express the figures for [the] Employment Court fees in [a] GST-exclusive form". I couldn't locate in the section that I expected to find that in—and that may be my error—exactly where that was and I did look through the bill a number of times.I wonder if the Minister could point me to exactly where those retained amendments are. I can see it clearly in that section; I also saw it in the cover note so I do know it's obviously the intention to retain these particular regulations which I don't think are particularly controversial. But I wasn't able to speak to that in other parts of the bill. That could be my error that I haven't been able to see where that was.So those were the main things that I wanted to ask the Minister: does she agree with the amendments that myself and my colleague have put forward in relation to clarifying that there is a mandate to repeal this legislation and could she point me to the place in the legislation where those GST-exclusive amendments are included."
