Tirikatene RinoRINO TIRIKATENE (Labour—Te Tai Tonga): Tēnā koe Mr Assistant Speaker. I am very pleased to speak in support of this bill at its third reading. As the Māori electorate member for Hurunui Kaikōura Marlborough and Wellington it gives me great pleasure to tautoko this bill. I do not intend to traverse all of the details but I would like to just add my thanks to Minister Brownlee the Local Government and Environment Committee and the officials who have been working tirelessly these past few weeks to draft up and tease out all the issues within this legislation. This is the third in the trifecta of bills that we are doing to address the issues raised by the Kaikōura earthquake. So I do acknowledge them for their work especially this week and in particular the Government members who while working on the bill had to deal with their own earth-shattering news but stayed focused. They stayed focused on the task this week and they were able to come up with a well-examined bill which has some very useful amendments.This bill is temporary. It is tailored and it is tightly defined. We are talking about override powers so we would expect those constraints to be put in place. I believe that the select committee has done a very good job to put those parameters in place with this piece of legislation.Like I said it does cover a broad geographic area. I am particularly pleased because one point I raised at the first reading was the issue around a single iwi representative on the review panel. I noted the difficulties given the actual number of iwi that are involved in the affected areas from the North Island right through to the South Island. I am pleased that the committee has taken that on board and made the requirement less prescriptive so that it is actually just ensuring that there is one representative on that review committee who is familiar with tikanga Māori and mātauranga Māori. I believe that is a sensible way of dealing with those sensitive issues that may arise when a Minister is proposing an Order in Council so I do commend the committee for coming up with that very constructive amendment.Just to conclude tomorrow morning at 5 a.m. there are some buses leaving Christchurch. Those buses will be taking back whānau who have been evacuated by the earthquake. Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu is putting on those buses to take those whānau back home. I believe from my discussions with the whānau that they are very proud of the way that Parliament as a whole has responded. They are very grateful for what we are doing here as a Parliament to pass this legislation because this directly impacts those people. But I think that their jumping on that bus tomorrow morning is a sign that the recovery is under way. It is a positive sign for Kaikōura and for the hapū as well that those families have had a bit of rest and respite and now are up to making the trip back home to start the work that will need to be done to get their lives back to normal back home in Kaikōura.That is what this legislation is all about. We want to see those affected communities back in business again up and running again and this legislation is an important part of all of the suite of legislation that will be needed to do the work that is required. It is not going to happen overnight. It will be a day-by-day thing and it probably will stretch into some months even years before all of the work is completed. But this is a really important first step and I am very proud to be a member in this House when we have worked so collaboratively in a cross-party sense to work on all these pieces of legislation over the past 2 weeks. Yes I am very proud and I am looking forward to seeing those works continue and to those families getting their lives back together back in Kaikōura so that we can see that thriving community up and running and back in business once again. Without further ado I will commend this bill to the House. Kia ora.
