 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. Could I just check with you for the vote cast before the vote we have just dealt with what the voting tally of the Maori Party was as there is some understanding that five votes were cast but I understood that they were casting only four votes today. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Rick Barker)

Hon DARREN HUGHES

TE URUROA FLAVELL (Maori Party—Waiariki) 
: 
 Kia ora tatou katoa. I will respond to some of the issues that have been put before the Committee this afternoon. I happily sat and listened to some of the comments. The first thing I would like to do is thank Shane Jones for issuing a press release on behalf of the Maori Party this afternoon. Unfortunately he got his facts wrong. 
Hon Shane Jones 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I want this Committee to know that I have not been releasing press releases. Hone Harawira has been doing that himself. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: That is not a point of order; that is a debating point. 
Hon Rodney Hide 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I think it is important not to show that there is any confusion about this process. It is morning. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: I understand the comments at this hour of the debate. 
TE URUROA FLAVELL 
: I confirm that the Maori Party will stay with its stand and that there is no discussion on the part of the national council in respect of the Climate Change Response (Moderated Emissions Trading) Amendment Bill today. The second thing I will say is that I have found some of the comments made today a little bit sad in the sense that Mr Hide all of a sudden has a view about the Treaty that has been raised by the Maori Party for the last 4 to 5 years on the issue of its principles. In fact I spoke about them last night so I will not go back and reiterate those comments. They concerned cases from the Court of Appeal and the Waitangi Tribunal which are there for anyone to read. They are a good starting point in respect of how to move forward. 
The third thing I want to say is that the Maori leadership group has been hung out in the public forum as being a select few. I am not going to debate that; suffice it to say I was at Hopuhopu when a large number of the tribes came together to provide a working party to give a view in respect of the emissions trading scheme. I cannot remember whether Mr Jones was present but they put forward a view and they represent for better or for worse a large number of people. The fourth point I want to make is that getting lessons from the Labour Party about Maori Party members going back to speak to their leadership is I think a little bit rich. Members should bear in mind that about 3 or 4 years ago there was a particular bill before the House and a large number of people made their views clear in terms of what they thought of it at that time. Did some people listen to that? No they did not—they did not actually. So we have that to think about.

Hon DARREN HUGHES (Labour) 
: 
 I seek leave to table this document which states: “to avoid taking decisions and approaches that lead to division and disharmony within the organisation;” The document is the Maori Party constitution. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There is objection.

Hon Dr NICK SMITH (Minister for Climate Change Issues) 
: 
 I really enjoyed that contribution from Chris Hipkins. It was a truly remarkable contribution given the news release that he put out on Sunday where he said that he had had a rush of constituents to his office concerned about— 
Hon David Cunliffe 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. It is certainly a convention in this House if not binding under the Standing Orders that the Minister in the chair in the Committee stage of a debate is there to serve the Committee by responding to the questions that it poses on the policy in the bill. It seems to me to be at odds with that convention that the Minister has launched into an attack on a member of this House about a press release from the previous week on an arguably unrelated aspect of business. I ask you to restrain the Minister and bring him back within the normal conventions— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: The Minister in the chair was responding to an issue raised by the member and I am prepared to hear the argument at this stage. 
Hon Dr NICK SMITH 
: A key part of the amendments we are making to the emissions trading scheme is to prevent a 10 percent increase in the price of power on 1 January and to put in place on 1 July next year a lesser increase while having a responsible climate change policy. I challenge Mr Hipkins to say how he can challenge the Maori Party about integrity when on Sunday he said: “I’m going to Parliament this week to do all I can to fight power-price hikes.” and then his own colleague tabled a Supplementary Order Paper to reverse changes in those amendments which would put power prices up. I say to Mr Hipkins that he is an embarrassment to his electorate and to himself if he is going to run those sorts of lines and then challenge the Maori Party about impacts on low-income earners. 
The advice is absolutely consistent. The changes the Maori Party is supporting will result in the lesser cost of $165 per year on every single New Zealand household. That is absolutely consistent in the advice. The real question for Mr Hipkins is whether he will support the Maori Party and the National Party in reducing that price impact. The very first issue that the Maori Party put on the table in its negotiations was the same issue that Chris Hipkins raised: lower impact costs on households. So I simply say to Mr Hipkins that he should be supporting the Maori Party and he should be thanking it for helping not only Maori but all families in reducing the impact of the emissions trading scheme on those households by $165 per year. If he is true to his word he will be voting with the Maori Party and National for these very sensible amendments.

Hon Dr NICK SMITH (Minister for Climate Change Issues) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I seek leave because I do have great respect for Mr Parker and he has a number of amendments and considerable knowledge in this area for him just on this occasion to have the second continuous call so he can speak to his amendments. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: Leave is sought for that purpose. This is a one-off. Is anyone opposed to that course of action? No one is opposed.

Hon DAVID PARKER (Labour) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. The underlying Standing Order says that members are entitled to up to four calls per part. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I do not really need any assistance. What happened yesterday was that leave was taken. Any member could have objected to that leave. It was quite specific. I read it out twice yesterday and members I thought had some understanding of it. I will read the portion to the member again so that we understand it: “The direction of the House allows members to have unlimited calls of 5 minutes each but not more than two consecutive speeches on each part of any provision.” That is quite clear. We have ruled on that and there is acceptance of it.

Hon DAVID PARKER (Labour) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. My understanding of the agreement is that members were entitled to consecutive calls and that there is no restriction on the number of occasions that could occur. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: Your understanding is incorrect. We had a clear ruling on this yesterday. Members get consecutive calls on one occasion per part. The member had his yesterday. We are still on Part 1.

The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: The next call will go to the Hon David Parker but let me make some observations at this point in an attempt to assist the Committee. Firstly in respect of where the call goes by convention if a member has had a call or two calls and someone else has not had a call the call normally goes to the person who has not spoken. I see affirming glances and assurances from members in the Chamber. That is the process. If a party wants a member to have a second call when someone else is seeking the call for the first time that becomes a matter for the party’s whip. It is not for me to rule on that convention because I would give the call to someone who has not taken a call. That is the first thing. Secondly Part 1 is very big and contains the substance of the bill but the debate seems to have developed into a general debate on climate change. It would be very helpful to the Chair and to everybody else if members could reference their speeches to the clauses of this large bill so that we might make some progress. The member indicating to me should not do that; I am just saying where we are going. No one particularly is being accused; I am making a general statement.

[Sitting date: 24 November 2009. Volume:659;Page:7970. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Rick Barker) 
: No I do not need any comment. This is a well-worn path; we have been here on many occasions. I say to members that I am very tolerant of these things. If people want to shift around the Chamber and sit closer down this end of the Chamber because it intensifies the debate I think that is a good thing. Interjections are part and parcel of a robust debate in the Committee stage and both sides have interjected quite robustly. I think it adds to the flow of the debate to have interjections backwards and forwards. I could certainly hear all of the comments being made by the speaker when Mr Quinn was interjecting. The member speaking had the advantage of the microphone. I did not find the interjecting particularly disruptive. 
I also say to the member who raised the point of order that a point of order needs to be raised at the time. It cannot be retrospective. If at the time the member feels that interjecting is disruptive the member must raise the point of order then and there. Once time has flowed the point of order has gone; it cannot be retrospective. 
But I took the member’s point that we should be careful about interjections and make sure the debate can be heard. I am sure Mr Quinn will take cognisance of that as will those who have made the loud robust comments that I have heard from my left-hand side as well—the many and several and I will not name them all.

Hon PETE HODGSON (Labour—Dunedin North) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I did not raise the point at the time because I did not want to interrupt the flow of the debate but a member in the Chamber Mr Paul Quinn has maintained a running commentary of interjection which is I think disruptive. It is also contrary to the Standing Orders for a person to shift his seat in order to interject. I suggest that if Mr Quinn wishes to continue to scream his lungs out he is returned to a seat over there from now on. 
Paul Quinn 
: Mr Chairperson—
