Genter Julie AnneHon JULIE ANNE GENTER (Green—Rongotai): Tēnā koe Mr Chair. Thank you very much for the opportunity to make a contribution at this late point of the committee stage but I guess I would like to add my voice to the previous honourable member's contribution asking the question What are the provisions in place around the staff that are currently at the Productivity Commission?"I do just have to note the incredible irony but in fact it's so fitting that it was a previous ACT Party coalition agreement that set up the Productivity Commission back in the day when the ACT Party was more like a real libertarian party and cared about good governance instead of just representing billionaires. Back in the day they actually believed in the possibility of an independent institution like a commission for productivity. But the sad truth is that under the current leadership and direction of the ACT Party they aren't interested in things that would genuinely result in a more productive economy because the things that result in a more productive economy—CHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): Ms Genter this is a very narrow part of the bill. It is not the opportunity for a general debate comment. It is on the title and commencement. So at least if you're going to make those comments make some attempt to relate them to the title and commencement and then you may get some—Hon JULIE ANNE GENTER: Thank you very much Mr Chair for reminding me of that because as the Hon Duncan Webb was saying it is quite possible that the more appropriate title would be a title that was making note of the fact that the current ACT Party is more interested in creating more direct Government bureaucracy that they can control in an autocratic way rather than having an independent commission that's providing independent advice because they don't like that independent advice.I do want to note just as the Hon Duncan Webb did in his contribution on this part that the Productivity Commission under the John Key years actually did produce quite a lot of very useful and important research. Because I haven't had the opportunity to make a contribution in this debate I'll just put that out there now. I remember very well between 2011 and 2017 there were fantastic reports coming out from the Productivity Commission even though it was a John Key - led Government and Mr Seymour was involved in one of those Governments. But the Minister really should answer the very serious question about what provisions are being made for the people who will be unemployed as a result of this bill and this part at the end of the month that starts tomorrow. And we haven't heard that answer from the Minister.So as long as I have two minutes left in my contribution I would very much like to point out that overall this is a fitting move for someone who doesn't believe in having an independent Government institution at arm's length from Government Ministers to provide actual relevant economic evidence that would support improving productivity in New Zealand but rather create—CHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): Ms Genter the fact that you haven't contributed previously does not entitle you to actually make statements that are not pertinent to this very narrow part of the bill. So at least in the time left to you you may try to relate it to that particular part; otherwise I'll be asking you to sit down.Hon JULIE ANNE GENTER: Well again we could talk about how the title of the bill Mr Chair could be something like the "Expanding Government Bureaucracy for the Purposes of the ACT Party Bill" so that they can act on behalf of their 1 percent donors rather than actually doing something that would genuinely improve the productivity of this country. I think there are two points being made here. One is that the Minister has not risen to answer—and will not—the very relevant question put to him by two members now on this side of the Chamber. And the second point is simply that we could come up with a much more relevant title for this bill—one that points out the absolute hypocrisy of this fake libertarian Minister."
