Volume:689;Page:9766. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]CHRIS AUCHINVOLE (National): It is a pleasure to take over from Mr Denis O’Rourke. Although his speech to my ears was for the most part very positive and obviously coming from a good solid knowledge and experience base I am still not quite sure whether he is going to vote for the Land Transport Management Amendment Bill or against it. Let us hope that he is going to vote for it because this is a very important bill and one that will serve the country well.It is a disappointment to me to hear members on the other side speaking so negatively about such an important bill. I thought during the select committee process—and I am sure my colleagues think the same—that they were reasonably responsive they were open to argument they reasoned things quite well and there was a touch of collaboration there until we got back in the House. Then off Labour went with the Greens to satisfy its left-wing trade union base and sycophantic supporters and out the window went common sense reasoned argument and any suggestion of collaboration.Labour should be braver. It is a disappointment to me and it lets those members down. It is a disappointment to the voting public and to those who will be assisted by the passage of this bill and there are a lot of those. Fortunately we will pass this bill. I commend it to the House. Thank you.
Sabin Mike: Land Transport Management Amendment Bill — Second ReadingText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeSabin Mike: Land Transport Management Amendment Bill — Second Reading[Sitting date: 08 May 2013. Volume:689;Page:9764. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]MIKE SABIN (National—Northland): I am very pleased to take a call on this Land Transport Management Amendment Bill. It is just a shame that we could not beam the contribution from the previous member Gareth Hughes into the households of New Zealanders on the 6 o’clock news because by crikey would it do some fantastic things for the party vote for this party and put his party vote back where it belongs at about 0 percent. That contribution from that member matched by the Greens’ friends in the Labour Party shows exactly what those people think about what New Zealanders care about which is infrastructure to provide an economic platform and to provide productivity. This bill goes to the heart—it goes to the heart—of providing the freeways the highways and the byways into the economic engine of this country.Members from that party will wander up to Northland once a year to have their retreats. They have some fish and chips at the Mangonui fish and chip shop they snap a couple of photos they pontificate about the challenges of Northland they come back to this place and then say that the Pūhoi to Wellsford road of national significance is the first thing they will get rid of. They would not say that up there. They would not say that up there because they know what sort of reaction that would get. They do not understand that the importance of that road to the New Zealand economy is something that this party does understand and that is why that road of national significance is on track and will happen.When we had the whole of region economic summits in Northland and when we asked what the biggest issue is for Northland’s economic growth and prosperity what was it? It was State Highway 1—State Highway 1. The New Zealand Transport Agency said it would be a $35 million to $45 million addition to the Northland economy per year. That was back in 2011. I drilled into those figures a little bit further with our local economist: 15 percent of the Northland economy that is $1800 million per year travels down that road and by our improving that roading infrastructure it is not only about safety but also about empowering the Northland economy.This legislation goes to the heart of providing the synergy across national land transport planning and programming with the regions because there is a disconnect with what the regions are doing in many respects and getting synergy is about efficiency and understanding how this whole country works and the importance of the roading network in it. I wholeheartedly commend this bill to the House.

The reason you cannot speak to it is that I moved at the beginning that clauses 1 to 3 stand part. At that stage you had the opportunity to debate clauses 1 2 or 3. No one did and that is why we are now going through the votes.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon TAU HENARE (National): Just a very quick call—[Interruption] Sorry?Hon Ruth Dyson: Do a proper speech.Hon TAU HENARE: Well let us talk first of all about Phil Goff shall we? He talks about criminals and victims but he is the one who broke the law just the other week by releasing a coroner’s report that was suppressed. He gets up in this House and talks about all these horrible criminals but the fact of the matter is that he should get up in the House and apologise to the coroner for releasing a protected report. That is the issue here so he has got a cheek to get up in this House and talk about that.I think the best speech in this House was Andrew Little’s. Andrew Little put it succinctly—that is that this Prisoners’ and Victims’ Claims (Continuation and Reform) Amendment Bill is a good bill and he supports the bill not like Phil Goff who gets up and does this raving speech about the rich and the poor and the criminal and the victim and the “I’ve done this.” and “I’ve done that.” He rails against the bill but then he says: “But we’re going to support it.” What a speech for the ages! I support this bill. All it does is to make sure that the victims are looked after.

The purpose of this bill is to make the restriction on awards of compensation in the victims’ claim process in the principal 2005 Act permanent. The 2005 Act was due to expire at the end of June last year and an interim bill was introduced to cover a further year from 1 July 2012 to 30 June this year. This bill will now make the 2005 Act regime permanent. It is a balanced bill as we have heard before. It balances the rights of victims with the responsibilities of offenders. It is a good bill and I commend it to the House.

Volume:689;Page:9741. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon KATE WILKINSON (National—Waimakariri): Thank you for the opportunity to take a very short and succinct call to support the second reading of the Prisoners’ and Victims’ Claims (Continuation and Reform) Amendment Bill. Actually following on from Denis O’Rourke the New Zealand First speaker it was refreshing to see that he used the word “victim” far more than the Green speaker who did not Ibelieve use the word “victim” at all but seemed to concentrate mainly on the rights of prisoners.This is actually about having a fair and balanced system. It is just making the current regime permanent. It is putting victims at the heart of the justice system. It has stronger emphasis on victims not prisoners but it is a balance between the rights of offenders and the rights of victims. It is not removing the rights of offenders but it is putting victims at the heart of our justice system. They are the ones who have been harmed by the actions of the offenders and it is only right that we should have a justice system focusing on the rights of victims. This is a good bill. It is the right balance and I commend the bill to the House.

Volume:689;Page:9739. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]ALFRED NGARO (National): I stand a little concerned at that last speech by the member from the Green Party because what it is telling ordinary New Zealanders is that all we have heard over the last 5 minutes or so is about the rights of the prisoners and not about the rights of the victims. We all know that incarceration on its own is not enough to deal with the issues of recidivist offending. But what we do know in this Prisoners’ and Victims’ Claims (Continuation and Reform) Amendment Bill is that there needs to be a balance.If the previous speaker knew the intent of restorative justice it is about balancing the rights and the responsibilities of both the victims and the offenders and that is exactly what this bill is intending to do. It is taking responsibility for the things that have been offended. The previous speaker Mr Clendon talked about how many of us may not have been in prison. Well I have been in prison. I know that many of my colleagues have been there to see—Hon Phil Goff: What did you do?ALFRED NGARO: In prison to visit may I qualify that statement to visit—to visit. I actually was taking some pastoral care there. In helping to support I understand the issues of those who are in that situation.Hon Member: Go back.ALFRED NGARO: What this bill is trying to do—yes I will go back to the point that I want to make. I want also to commend Mr Little who said a lot about the balance in this bill. That is what this bill is intending to do. I commend this bill. It is taking a balance between the rights of the victims but also the responsibility of the offenders. That is what this bill is intending to do. I commend this bill. It is a good bill. I commend the chair of the Justice and Electoral Committee. It is a small bill but it is powerful. It is a little but it is a lot. Thank you. I commend this bill to the House.

Volume:689;Page:9836. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]TODD McCLAY (National—Rotorua): There are people in New Zealand living in hope now that that last speech has finished. We will get on very soon I am sure to the quiz that was announced but I think the number of people taking part in the quiz at this stage will be many fewer than at the beginning of the intervention.Can I just address one point from that last speech very briefly before I get into talking about what is a significant piece of legislation the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Amendment Bill. The last speaker in the debate the Hon David Cunliffe spoke of 200000 children in poverty in New Zealand. I do not want to debate around what that word “poverty” means but what I do want to say and what I want to recollect is that over 9 years of a Labour Government there were more than $20 billion worth of surpluses and at the end of that 9-year period there were the same number of children in poverty as there were at the very beginning. I just wanted to address that. I will put it aside because the House is harmoniously moving towards a short adjournment.Can I say again that this amendment bill is another significant step towards achieving clear and robust regulatory arrangements across our financial sector. Although the original Act of 2010 has proven to be effective it is not unexpected that some provisions have been identified as appropriate for reform and therefore this amendment bill does that.I did say this is a significant piece of legislation; therefore I want to reserve my substantive contribution until the second reading. But can I say to Minister Nikki Kaye that that was one of the more enlightening speeches I have heard on legislation that is likely to come to the Finance and Expenditure Committee. I want to thank her for her great knowledge in this area.

Volume:689;Page:9734. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]SCOTT SIMPSON (National—Coromandel): It is a pleasure to stand and take a brief call in support of this Prisoners’ and Victims’ Claims (Continuation and Reform) Amendment Bill in its second reading. At the outset I would like to acknowledge the support from the previous speaker Andrew Little on behalf of the Labour Party which is going to support this good piece of legislation. Of course the purpose of this bill is to make the restrictions on awards of compensation and the victims’ claims process in the principal Prisoners’ and Victims’ Claims Act 2005 permanent. As Andrew Little said it is—and I am sure he did not mean to make a pun—a confined solution to a confined problem and it is a good solution.Mr Little talked a little about the—I did not mean that. I did not mean that actually; it is early in the morning. Mr Little did say in his presentation that a review should have taken place. Well of course there is not much need for a review when a system and a piece of legislation are working very well. The Government I am very pleased to say is satisfied that this scheme is working well. The scheme represents our commitment to victims and the focus upon victims who are of course participants in our criminal justice system completely as a result of other people’s actions and not their own.This is a Government that I am part of and we are committed to ensuring that victims are supported and the scheme that we are supporting today achieves that endeavour. We make no apology at all for focusing our justice system on the rights of victims. It is right and appropriate that we should do that. As chairman of the Justice and Electoral Committee I was very pleased with the way the committee worked through our deliberations on this bill. The committee received seven submissions and recommended that the bill proceed without amendment. I speak in support of the bill. It is a good bill. I commend it to the House.

Volume:689;Page:9817. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]ANDREW WILLIAMS (NZ First): I will take a brief call on behalf of New Zealand First on the Trustee (Public Trust) Amendment Bill. We also will be supporting this bill. So it is being supported completely across the whole of the House which is a good thing. We have said in the past that New Zealand First will support good Government policy but oppose poor policy. In this case we believe this is good policy.The bill ties up and sorts out some loopholes to ensure that this taxpayer-supported entity the Public Trust is not exposed in any way. That is a good thing. It ensures that there are more safeguards to ensure that the public interest is put at the top of the list in terms of making sure that nothing untoward would happen to the Public Trust if something rebounded on it. This bill achieves that. It is only a very small technical bill. It is very much an administrative matter in that respect. It clarifies a situation and improves a situation that otherwise would have left the Public Trust perhaps exposed. In that respect New Zealand First will be supporting the bill.

Volume:689;Page:9819. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Dr JACKIE BLUE (National): I am very pleased to speak to the first reading of the Trustee (Public Trust) Amendment Bill. It is an interim bill and it amends the Trustee Act 1956. It closes a loophole as we have heard to ensure that the Public Trust does not bear the financial burden of wearing the costs of having to step in to replace trustees of failed finance companies. This is an urgent bill. We have heard that there are potentially 60 failed finance companies that are seeking to have the Public Trust appointed as the trustee of last resort. It is unacceptable that the taxpayer has to in effect pay the bill for that. It is a good bill. I commend it to the House. Thank you.Clare Curran: Mr Speaker—

Volume:689;Page:9723. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]MELISSA LEE (National): It is a great pleasure to rise to take a very short call to add my support for this bill the Criminal Procedure Legislation Bill at its second reading. The problem with the current criminal procedures over the past 20 years couldpossibly be summarised as being that we have had excessive delay complexity an outdated legislative framework and excessive costs. A lot of members have traversed these matters over the time of the debate of this bill. National believes—and many other members have actually mentioned this—that justice delayed is indeed justice denied. This bill will ensure that timely justice is delivered for victims witnesses defendants and the community. That can only be good.The system is clogged and needs to be fixed. These amendments will reduce delay in the District Courts and free up judge time. We expect shorter trials fewer adjournments and less delay overall. As someone who has actually been a victim who had to turn up to court to face the offenders in a court trial and who knows the frustrations and the stress that happen every time a court case has been delayed I am very pleased that this is actually happening because it can only reduce the stress for the victims. I commend this bill to the House.Bill read a second time.

As has been mentioned by everyone before this bill is housekeeping and it is good housekeeping and that is an important thing. It is an indication for us—and I think this has been said before—that we can talk about housekeeping as if it is a very simple thing that is not very important but actually if we do not do the housekeeping properly terrible things can happen. That is why it has been good to see this bill go through this process—some potentially awful consequences have been avoided.We have had the submission the one substantive submission from the Law Society which has enabled us to avoid the Government being able to define crime through regulation. I am sure all New Zealanders will be very thankful for that in the future. I wish all bills in this House had the same scrutiny and when things appear very simple or very urgent or very important to this Government I hope it will remember that this bill which looked so simple so technical and was just a piece of housekeeping actually held within it a small clause that could have had terrible consequences.Without that proper scrutiny this bill would have just passed and we would have had those terrible consequences in place. So I am very pleased to be able to commend this bill to the House with the good housekeeping having being done. Thank you.

This bill is another step in our commitment to a more effective and efficient justice system. It has been described several times as “minor and technical”. I would have to say as a previous lawyer that when those words are used it actually leads to more scrutiny and invites more attention rather than less. Having said that it is somewhat minor and technical but it is important.The most debated provision was in relation to the “Henry VIII” regulation-making clause. The Law Society made a very compelling argument. My colleague the Hon Lianne Dalziel has in her earlier speech well traversed the ramifications of “Henry VIII”clauses. I do not need to add any more to the debate than that. I merely say this is a good bill. It should be passed. I am pleased that it has got bipartisan apolitical support across the House and I support the bill.

Ngaro Alfred: Criminal Procedure Legislation Bill — Second Reading In CommitteeText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeNgaro Alfred: Criminal Procedure Legislation Bill — Second Reading In Committee[Sitting date: 08 May 2013. Volume:689;Page:9718. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]ALFRED NGARO (National): I rise and take a call on the Criminal Procedure Legislation Bill. The previous speaker Mr David Clendon talked about a smooth and effective system and that is exactly what this bill is actually intending to do. The bill makes minor technical amendments—11 in particular—so that the legislative intent is clarified the operational efficiency is enhanced and the predicted benefits are realised. That is exactly what we are doing and I agree with Mr Clendon in that regard.I want to briefly touch on two submissions—in fact there were only two submissions—on this bill. One was from the Law Society and one was from Dr Don Mathias. Clearly their submissions were in support and generally there were a number of just minor changes that people wanted to make but in particular there was general support for this bill because of what it is intending to do. The proposals build on the changes already under way to improve the criminal justice system including removing oral deposition hearings legal aid reforms victims of crimes initiatives and the roll-out of audio-visual links between courts and prisons.I also just want to comment on a couple of things that will be achieved including the changes made in the Supplementary Order Paper. The reforms contained in this bill have the potential to free up 10000 court sitting hours each year by delivering benefits that include 31200 fewer court events 300 to 500 fewer jury trials and 6 to 9-week reductions in the average time to complete a jury trial. This is a good bill. We think it has got great support right across the House. I commend this bill to the House.

Volume:689;Page:9787. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]SIMON O’CONNOR (National—Tāmaki): I am very pleased to take this call. Once again we see inconsistencies in thinking. We have heard from the member who just sat down Julie Anne Genter that we want more competition in the bus market but then of course hers is a party that has been arguing against competition when it comes to the electricity market. It is quite confusing. We also had an idea of democracy that really comes down to it being democratic only if the Green Party agrees with it.The Land Transport Management Amendment Bill is a good bill. It is ultimately about movement. As sort of an homage if you like to that aspect of movement I would like to move that this bill progress to the Committee stage.The question was put that the amendments recommended by the Transport and Industrial Relations Committee by majority be agreed to.

Volume:689;Page:9713. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]SCOTT SIMPSON (National—Coromandel): As chairman of the Justice and Electoral Committee it is a great pleasure to stand and speak in support of the second reading of this Criminal Procedure Legislation Bill. The bill as other speakers have indicated contains a number of technical amendments required to ensure that the legislative intent of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 is made clear and can be applied as intended. As Mr Little just mentioned in his presentation previously the support for this piece of legislation at the select committee was unanimous and I am delighted to report that the committee worked very well on its deliberations in regard to the bill.Tim Macindoe: Good committee.SCOTT SIMPSON: It is a good committee Mr Macindoe—a very good committee. I think it was a good example of how the select committee process can work to make for better legislation and I want to thank members for their cooperation and support during the discussions that we had. The bill contains these technical amendments to make for better operational efficiencies within our court system. We heard as others have mentioned a very compelling submission from the New Zealand Law Society in relation to its concerns about the so-called “Henry VIII” clause. It was a good result that that was removed from the draft of the bill and I think we have got now a position on this piece of legislation that is going to be acceptable across the House.The Government believes that justice delayed is justice denied. This bill will ensure that timely justice is delivered for victims witnesses defendants and our entire community. Currently our system is clogged and needs to be fixed and these amendments in this piece of legislation will remedy that. I commend the bill to the House. It is a good piece of legislation and I support it.

We live in times that are changing. We live in a modern world where there is increasing technology and increasing risk.This bill is a good bill.

This is a good bill. I commend it and endorse it to the House.
