Scott AlastairALASTAIR SCOTT (National—Wairarapa): I will try to address the points that Mr O'Rourke made in the short time I have. For a start Mr O'Rourke area knowledge is no longer required because we have an app. There is Google Maps; there are lots of apps that will tell the holder of the smartphone exactly where they are in any country that is able to manage Google. I too have used Uber all around the world and I know exactly where I am at any time.The second point is signage. Why do we need to have the name of the driver on the side of the car when we have the information in our app when we know the name of the car is identified by its registration plate? I know exactly which car I am going into before the car even approaches me because the registration number is available to me on this app. So that provides me with a lot of security and a sense of understanding of the driver whom I am going to be driving with.Denis O'Rourke: What if you can't see?ALASTAIR SCOTT: I will get to that. I even know what other people think of this driver. Other people who have used this same driver have been able to rate and rank that driver so I can see if he is a 4.8 a 4.9 or a miserable 3.2. If he or she was a 3.2 I can decline that driver. So I have a choice as to which driver I am able to ride with.So just on that safety aspect I feel for one much safer in an Uber car than I do in a taxi and I have ordered Uber cars for my 18-year-old and 15-year-old daughters because I feel safe that they will be home. I can track her. I know exactly where she is when she gets in the car and when she gets home or whether she is going to some other destination—very secure in understanding where the person is and whom the person is with.The Braille aspect—again the application will tell the blind person what car is approaching and who the driver—Denis O'Rourke: How will they see that?ALASTAIR SCOTT: In the same way that the only information in Braille is the car and the car's ID—in the same way that the application can provide the same information. In fact a lot more information is available through the application through the app than just a number of letters that are available by Braille in its current form. So the information available in the application is far more than is currently available and so should give security and assurance to the passenger or to Mr O'Rourke when he enters into the car whether he is blind or not.As far as paying tax there has been talk about a billion dollar turnover but we get taxed on the profit of the business not on the turnover. And rest assured those drivers in the Uber cars in Wellington and Auckland are receiving income. They are receiving income; they would not do it for free and no doubt they would also be paying their fair share of tax as taxpayers in this country. When I pop out of the Uber I know I can get a GST receipt so again I know the GST is being paid to the Government and the income tax is being paid by the driver.To highlight again the Uber business or the business is only taxable on its taxable income—its profit in other words.Denis O'Rourke: Overseas?ALASTAIR SCOTT: It may even be a loss situation that a start-up company faces Mr O'Rourke and overseas owners just like New Zealand owners receive income from overseas. So too do offshore investors receive income from New Zealand.So I think I have covered all the points that—oh the airport point. The airport point is that Uber drivers are not able to pick up passengers from airports. The airports do not allow them and they fine them when they do come across them. The taxi drivers pay the fee because they have easy and quick access—and privileged access in fact—which is what they are paying for from the passengers who rock out from the airport immediately on to the passenger waiting queue. With that I commend this bill to the House.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): The next call is a split call. David Clendon—5 minutes.
