Lotu-Iiga Sam: State Sector Amendment Bill Public Finance Amendment Bill (No 2) Taxation (Livestock Valuation Assets Expenditure and Remedial Matters) Bill — Third ReadingText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeLotu-Iiga Sam: State Sector Amendment Bill Public Finance Amendment Bill (No 2) Taxation (Livestock Valuation Assets Expenditure and Remedial Matters) Bill — Third Reading[Sitting date: 10 July 2013. Volume:692;Page:11958. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]State Sector Amendment BillPublic Finance Amendment Bill (No 2)Peseta SAM LOTU-IIGA (National—Maungakiekie):It is a pleasure to take a short call on this the third reading of the Taxation (Livestock Valuation Assets Expenditure and Remedial Matters) Bill. I thank the Minister of Revenue the Hon Todd McClay for his work on this bill also the previous Minister the Hon Peter Dunne certainly for his hard work on this and also the Finance and Expenditure Committee members who worked on this bill to bring it back to the House. As you have heard and those around the country have heard it has got widespread support here in Parliament.So what is the purpose of the bill? It foreshadows Budget 2012 and the measures that we placed within that Budget—a well-received Budget a popular Budget out in our communities. It broadens the tax base. The changes will make the tax system fairer the economy stronger and contrary to my colleague across the House who just sat down David Parker it actually will provide jobs and opportunities going forward. I see a few young people up in the gallery here. To the young people of New Zealand this bill will actually create jobs for you in your futures going forward.Peseta SAM LOTU-IIGA: The bill introduces amendments to several inland revenue Acts and regulations. It includes supporting provisions as my colleagues have already mentioned to the livestock valuation rules which make elections to use the herd scheme generally irrevocable. That is popular in both rural and provincial New Zealand.But the measure that is popular in my electorate of Maungakiekie is around the amendments to make two specific commercial land - related lease payments—namely lease inducement payments and lease surrender payments—taxable and deductible. This again reinforces the purpose of the bill: to make it fairer and to improve business efficiency across our country. The bill also tightens the rules for deducting costs of assets such as holiday homes boats and aircraft that are used by the owner both privately and to earn income.I commend this bill to the House. It continues this Government’s focus on ensuring that everyone pays their fair share of tax and its focus on continuing to support jobs and opportunities in our economy. Thank you.

We believe in an integrated approach to current and future transport needs involving roads rail and public transport options.Denis O’Rourke: If the Government will not accept the need for alternatives to more road capacity to meet a greater proportion of future demand upon what basis does it expect to satisfy future demand?Hon GERRY BROWNLEE: It is a great pity that the member did not hear my answer. I will repeat it for him. The Government believes in an integrated approach to current and future transport needs involving roads motorways rail and public transport options.Denis O’Rourke: Does the Government accept its responsibility to take a leading role in the development and provision of sustainable urban transport alternatives to roading in all of the main centres in the same way as it does for motorways or does it expect local authorities to go it alone on this?Hon GERRY BROWNLEE: In the context of our understanding of New Zealand’s needs we do.Denis O’Rourke: Does the Government see a place for much greater use of light rail in the main cities in the foreseeable future other than just the—[Interruption ]Mr SPEAKER: Order! I am sorry to interrupt the member. Would the member please start again? I had difficulty hearing the question being asked.Denis O’Rourke: Does the Government see a place for much greater use of light rail in the main cities in the foreseeable future other than just the completion of the Auckland rail loop in order to provide an effective and affordable alternative to motorcars and motorways?Hon GERRY BROWNLEE: I think it is a very very open question as to whether or not light rail in other parts of New Zealand would be an affordable alternative. The answer at this point is that we do not believe so.Denis O’Rourke: In evaluating the long-term costs of passenger rail systems against more motorways will the Government include all of the real costs of motorways including externalities such as road accidents ACC costs air and water pollution parking and associated land costs; and for all those reasons does the Government accept the need to give higher funding priority to the alternatives?Hon GERRY BROWNLEE: In the last measured year New Zealanders travelled over 40 billion kilometres on the roads.

Volume:692;Page:11855. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]10.IAN McKELVIE (National—Rangitīkei)to theMinister of Corrections: What progress has the Government made on its target of reducing re-offending by 25 percent by 2017?Hon ANNE TOLLEY (Minister of Corrections):I am pleased to advise the House that Better Public Services results released this week show that reoffending rates are down 9 percent since June 2011. There are also more prisoners than ever before involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation employment training and education programmes. These results are very encouraging and show that the initiatives this Government is rolling out across the Department of Corrections are having a real impact on reoffending rates and are making our communities safer. To put these figures in perspective a 9 percent reduction in reoffending means there are over 1600 fewer offenders and 6600 fewer victims.Ian McKelvie: What further initiatives is the Government rolling out to improve offender rehabilitation?Hon ANNE TOLLEY: This Government is determined to deliver programmes that address the drivers of crime: addiction lack of employment skills and poor education. As part of the reducing reoffending programme every year we will be providing alcohol and drug treatment to 33100 additional offenders and numeracy and literacy training to an additional 1200 prisoners. To increase employment training the Government is establishing full working prisons at Auckland Women’s Prison Tongariro/Rangipō Prison and Rolleston Prison. As part of this initiative work is under way to construct a building yard at Rolleston Prison which will see prisoners repair 150 State houses from the red zone over the next 5 years. Prisoners will of course be provided with construction skills and qualifications that will help them find employment in the Christchurch rebuild on their release.Ian McKelvie: What is the Government doing to reduce the chances of a prisoner reoffending following their release from prison?Hon ANNE TOLLEY: Prisoners are at a high risk of returning to crime as soon as they are released from prison. Around 50 percent of prisoners are back in prison within 4 years. In addition to the increased rehabilitation that we are providing in prison Budget 2013 made $10 million available from the justice sector fund to establish thenew Out of Gate reintegration programme. This new nationwide post-release service will see prisoners supported as soon as they leave a facility. Up to 4000 prisoners serving a sentence of less than 2 years will be allocated a dedicated provider who will connect them to social services and help with accommodation employment and general living skills.

In the context of a photograph that is 5 years old which mine was in respect of a Government Minister promoting the opposite of what a Minister has just said was the Government’s position I would have thought it is in order for leave to be sought and to be put to the House. The House is free to reject it. But I do not understand there to be a prohibition on political documents; it is just a prohibition on documents that are readily available to members.

Let me say again that we have a very clear view against mining on Schedule 4 land”?Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Minister of Energy and Resources):Because the mining permit granted to the Broken Hills Gold Company does not allow mining on schedule 4 land.Catherine Delahunty: Why does Broken Hills Gold Company require access to 3 hectares of schedule 4 land split into two distinct areas separated by 150 metres in order to build the one additional mine exit that this permit requires?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: Unlike the member I do not have a mining fetish so it is difficult for me to claim expertise on these matters but as I understand it the reason is that a wider area is needed as they search for health and safety purposes to find where the egress will be then it would narrow down considerably.Catherine Delahunty: I seek leave to table a Parliamentary Library - prepared map that shows the two areas—Mr SPEAKER: Order! What is the source of the map?Catherine Delahunty: The Parliamentary Library prepared this for me. It shows the two areas unconnected of 3 hectares separated for one exit.Mr SPEAKER: The easiest way of resolving this matter is that I will put the leave. Leave is sought to table that particular information prepared by the Parliamentary Library. Is there any objection? There appears to be none.Document by leave laid on the Table of the House.Catherine Delahunty: Will the Minister clear up the ambiguity in the permit conditions by removing the word “and” in condition (b) that allows “mining underground and outside of Schedule 4” so that it explicitly states that only mining underground that is outside of schedule 4 will be allowed?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: I thank the member for her legal interpretative skills and help on that matter but the fact of the matter is that the permits are very clear. There is no mining on schedule 4 land.Catherine Delahunty: Will he rule out granting a mining permit over the schedule 4 areas for which Sea Group Holdings Ltd currently has a mineral prospecting permit andHawkeswood Civil Ltd holds a mineral exploration permit given that there are no nearby mines that require these health and safety upgrades?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: Off the top of my head I do not know a lot about the matters that the member refers to but our policy as she read out in the primary question is very clear: no mining on schedule 4 land.Catherine Delahunty: Will he now be assessing mining permits on schedule 4 land on a case-by-case basis and is this not an erosion of his unambiguous promise to New Zealanders that he will not allow mining on schedule 4?Hon SIMON BRIDGES: I think I have been very clear. Our policy is no mining on schedule 4 land.

The latest results show 89 percent of 8-month-olds have been fully immunised with their scheduled vaccinations protecting them from serious diseases such as whooping cough and hepatitis B and we are on track to achieve the 95 percent target.Shane Ardern: What other work to protect people from preventable diseases contributes to the Government’s Better Public Services targets?Hon TONY RYALL: Very early indications from the Government’s programme to reduce the incidence of rheumatic fever by two-thirds show a reduction in the incidence rate for acute rheumatic fever initial hospitalisations but this is only one set of data and so needs to be treated cautiously. For the second Budget in a row this Government has doubled its investment in the Rheumatic Fever Prevention Programme from $12 million to $24 million to $46 million in Budget 2013.

I will welcome it with open arms when it arrives at the Regulations Review Committee this year. Last year we looked at subordinate legislation bills and thought: “Is there a more pragmatic way for us to pull on the levers and the mechanics of the Parliament to ensure that what needs to be done here can be achieved?”. We have brought this forward a little bit. It is a necessary piece of legislation. I am happy to commend it to the House.

The only matter I would flag at this stage concerns Civil Aviation Authority charges. As a private pilot myself and a member of the Canterbury Aero Club I have been contacted by many of my fellow club members expressing concern about constant increases by the Civil Aviation Authority concerning its charges. So that is something that I will be having a close look at. But subject to that New Zealand First will be supporting the bill’s referral to the Regulations Review Committee at this stage.

I look forward to it coming before the Regulations ReviewCommittee where we will no doubt as Mr Lees-Galloway said have a significant debate about it. I also just wanted to remind Mr Cunliffe that offal is the best part of the sheep—the most tasty part by a mile. Thank you.

Volume:692;Page:12427. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Third ReadingIAIN LEES-GALLOWAY (Labour—Palmerston North):This will be just a very brief call like other members have taken. The Subordinate Legislation (Confirmation and Validation) Bill (No 2) is a technical bill. It is a fairly regular piece of legislation that goes through.I would simply like to take the opportunity to reflect on the fact that from the War Pensions Act 1954 the lump-sum payments and rates of pensions and allowances are validated and confirmed by this legislation but what—Hon David Cunliffe: Terrific.IAIN LEES-GALLOWAY: —which is a great thing and the people who receive war pensions will be very happy about that. They will be much happier when the Government finally gets on with the job of implementing legislation following the review of the War Pensions Act that was initiated by Labour and carried out by the LawCommission. That has been a long time coming. I know that veterans up and down the country will want to see that happen.I suspect that there will be a few private pilots as well who will be interested in the levies raised by the Civil Aviation Authority. The Regulations Review Committee may find that it has more public interest in that than it might have otherwise suspected. But otherwise like my colleagues I am very happy to see the passage of this legislation.

They say that making legislation is like making sausages—they taste good in the end but you do not want to see them being made. Occasionally what happens in Parliament is that lots of little bits and pieces of legislative offal get bundled up and sent to themincer in the Regulations Review Committee. That is basically what this bill is. It is the conveyor belt for the bits and pieces that the Regulations Review Committee has got to pore over look through the entrails of the legislative process and make sure that the sausages we make in the next little while are fit to eat. Thank you.

Volume:692;Page:12427. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Third ReadingKATRINA SHANKS (National):It is my pleasure to take a brief call on this Subordinate Legislation (Confirmation and Validation) Bill (No 2) this morning. As previous members have stated this is a bill that comes to the House every year. It validates and confirms subordinate legislation such as commodity levies and other orders. It comes to the Regulations Review Committee. The select committee basically writes to the Ministers and departments about the levies or the orders that are in place to see whether they are still to be confirmed. The Ministers and departments write back and acknowledge that they should be and then it gets reported back to the House. It is a fairly swift process but it is a very important process because if we do not have this legislation those orders or levies will lapse. I look forward to seeing it in the Regulations Review Committee. I commend this bill to the House.

It is one that is relatively simple. It is an annual bill. It goes off to the Regulations Review Committee. If there are particular orders in there that the committee wants to draw the House’s attention to it will. Otherwise there will be smooth passage.

Volume:692;Page:12426. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Third ReadingHon CHRIS TREMAIN (Minister of Internal Affairs)on behalf of theLeader of the House: I moveThat the Subordinate Legislation (Confirmation and Validation) Bill (No 2) be now read a first time. I nominate the Regulations Review Committee to consider the bill.This is a routine technical bill and it comes before the House every year. However it is a very important bill all the same. The bill confirms or validates items of subordinate legislation that must be confirmed or validated by Parliament. This is a requirement of the empowering Acts under which the various orders or regulations have been made. The role played by the House in confirming or validating the various items and the scrutiny provided by the Regulations Review Committee provide a layer of protectionin the regulation-making process. Should the House decide to withhold its approval for a particular regulation or order contained in the bill that regulation or order will lapse.In its report on the 2012 bill the Regulations Review Committee acknowledged that it is not reasonable or practicable to introduce subordinate legislation bills in the first half of the calendar year. However the committee also recommended that in order to allow time for scrutiny of the implementation of the policy the Government look at introducing these bills earlier in the year than has been usual—preferably on 1 August or as close to that date as possible. I am happy to report that the Government has introduced this year’s bill as soon as it was practicable.This bill covers a range of regulations—24 orders. I will not delay the House’s time in considering each of these regulations. They will be there in the regulation within the bill. I commend this bill to the House.

Kia ora engā mihii te iwi Raukawangā mihi nui ki a koutou. I will take a short call as I had not been expecting to speak in this first reading debate ofthe Raukawa Claims Settlement Bill but I want to extend greetings from the Government senior whip and member forTaupō Louise Upston who is a Government member of theMāori Affairs Committee and who very much regrets that she is unable to be here today to support this very important measure. As a fellow Waikato member of Parliament representing the western side of Kirikiriroa home of the stadium at which a magnificent back-to-back Super 15 title was secured by the mighty Chiefs last Saturday—and my colleagues would have been so disappointed if I had not got that in somewhere—I do want to acknowledge in all seriousness the losses that Raukawa suffered in the 19th century. In particular I acknowledge the goodwill of the iwi in their negotiations of this deed of settlement. They were not only losses of the 19th century but obviously losses subsequently to the present time. Kia ora and thank you all for that.Like my colleague the Hon Tau Henare I also pay tribute to the outstanding work of the Hon Christopher Finlayson Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations who will close this first reading debate shortly. I acknowledge his dedication and boundless energy in meeting the demands of this major portfolio. He is playing a major role in helping this nation to resolve deep and longstanding injustices and I admire his work immensely.My colleagues on all sides of this House have covered the major provisions of this bill and obviously the Minister will touch on more of them shortly. So I want to thank all members for their constructive contributions and for the unanimous support of members for this bill.This is an important and a historic day for Raukawa and for our country: mewhakanuia etātou [we should celebrate it ]. Kia ora.
