Volume:690;Page:10233. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]JONATHAN YOUNG (National—New Plymouth): The previous speaker Moana Mackey talked a lot about reputation and about people looking foolish and things like that. Let me tell you that I would have liked to see a particular bill go to a select committee; it was called the Appropriation (Parliamentary Expenditure Validation) Bill which passed under urgency in 2 days. It was to cover off $800000 of spending that the previous Labour Government did on the pledge card. That lady was there and she voted for it. So all of this talk about reputation and looking like an idiot—come on! The pot is called black.Coming back to this bill the Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 Amendment Bill and what—Moana Mackey: Is that the best you’ve got?Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga: Confess. Confess.JONATHAN YOUNG: Come on! Come on! No no no—hey hey hey. Obviously the member over there has had a brain fade and cannot remember about—[Interruption]The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): Order! Order! Order! I do want to hear what the member is saying so please quieten it down.JONATHAN YOUNG: Thank you. I was saying that the member obviously has a brain fade and cannot remember what is happening. This bill touches on some important aspects of the Crown Minerals Amendment Act. One of the particular areas that I want to raise is this area regarding iwi engagement. During the select committee process this was very important. It was raised by a number of submitters and is something that New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals is taking extremely seriously. We believe that in going forward in terms of petroleum exploration and mining iwi engagement is a very important part of that process.We know in Taranaki that the companies that operate there have developed very good relationships with iwi and this is setting a model for other parts of the country. We know that these aspects of inclusion in our society—Andrew Little: How are the residents of Tikorangi feeling?JONATHAN YOUNG: I would like to just remind Mr Little—thank you very much for your assistance in pronunciation—about a couple of your comments around Taranaki just last week. I think you really need to understand that crude is not carried across Mount Messenger as you stated. So if you do not mind that is a reminder about some of those accuracies in terms of your knowledge of Taranaki. That is good to know. By the way the 30 metres of bridge that we are fixing up there is actually 5.3 kilometres of road as well.Andrew Little: There’s another 100 kilometres to go Jonathan. That’s the problem.JONATHAN YOUNG: Well we are always working on that let me tell you. We have to say that part of the answer—Hon Chris Tremain: Does that member know where Taranaki is?JONATHAN YOUNG: I do not think so. I do not think he does. Part of making this country prosperous and positive is legislation like this and we are pleased and proud to make sure that every “t” is crossed and “i” is dotted. Thank you.
