Henare PeeniPEENI HENARE (Labour—Tāmaki Makaurau): Tēnā koe Mr Assistant Speaker. There have been a lot of interesting points being made across the House in relation to this particular bill. I want to just pick up on one of the points made by my colleague Metiria Turei. It is too easy to limit our scope when you look at this bill to simply just garages. It is easy enough to look over the history of this particular Government and find many cases of landlords who have been caught renting out garages or substandard living arrangements to desperate people in a housing crisis. It is easy to find landlords who are doing that with garages but I take the point of my colleague and say actually and in particular in recent times boarding houses come under that. The substandard arrangements and living conditions in boarding houses is just not acceptable.This particular bill actually does not address that. In a quick look under Part 1 of this particular bill and I looked up under the original act is section 66(H)(2)(b) and all it asks is that the boarding house room be of a clean state—of a clean state. That is just not good enough when we look at recent reports about substandard boarding houses where rooms are covered in mould and where the infrastructure and the facilities in those boarding houses are just not up to scratch. Yet in the original legislation all it states is that the room has to be clean and that is just not good enough. So this bill does not go far enough in that respect but it does have some other good parts of it mentioned by my colleagues in this House around the meth testing and around other issues as I have already pointed out—landlords who during a housing crisis are exploiting families and desperate people who are looking for accommodation.We need only look into recent times as recent as March where a landlord in Manurewa—and my colleague Marama Davidson has mentioned this—was fined for renting out a substandard garage to a whānau who were desperate. The landlord was ordered to repay almost $16000. That was as recent as March but you can go back even further to 2013 where one particular landlord was found guilty of multiple offences—multiple offences—where they converted garages and substandard areas letting spaces in order to make profit. They rented 17 rooms out in fact to families who were desperate in a housing crisis and that is just not good enough. That is just not good enough.Sure this bill might head some way towards curbing that and towards making sure that it does not happen in the future and we will be supporting the bill to make sure that even more stories from families who are affected out there are actually brought forward to the select committee. We want to hear from housing groups. We want to hear from social housing agencies. We want to hear directly from families who have been affected by many of the changes.I want to pick up—just in the small time that I have left—on the point made by my good colleague Marama Davidson. She makes a very good point about those families who were evicted for in some cases accusations of involvement with P when that actually was not the case. The long-term stigma that is attached to those families who are trying to find a house during a housing crisis cannot be denied. It cannot be denied. Agencies and landlords look at a person's record when they go to hire out houses and under the unfair testing regime of this Government families have fallen victim to that and have been evicted. Sadly what that means for them is that the opportunity for them to get a house in the future is slim to none and that is just not good enough and that is not fair.This bill does not address this but what it will do is set a regime for testing that will actually be more effective than what has already been mentioned in this House. It is a waste of $30 million—$30 million. That is a heck of a lot of money to be wasted on a testing regime that did not work. So we do support this bill to the select committee stage. We do encourage everyone who is impacted by the amendments in this particular bill to come forward and make a submission to the select committee. Kia ora.
