SpeechCHRIS BAILLIE (ACT): I'm not going to labour" on this for too much longer—I don't like using that word—but thank you very much for everyone's contribution. It was anticipated if you listened to what I said at the start—I did say that people will argue for the status quo because of religious beliefs or a belief that workers' rights might be affected. The bill well and truly covers that so they won't be affected and I'll address that again shortly.Just to look at some of the last contributors: Jamie Strange he asked why not Christmas Day and Anzac Day and I quite agree. I did not think that society is ready for those two days unlike Kieran McAnulty of course who wanted to include Christmas Day and Anzac Day and open it right up in his bill which has now been withdrawn. I accept that there is family time; however if you work as has been said you get a day in lieu to take that day whenever you feel like it.Since 1990 since the shop trading hours—you mentioned that—since 1990 workers had three weeks' leave and that was it. Since then four weeks' leave 12 stat holidays two weeks' sick days and numerous other holidays that they're entitled to now. You're probably aware I'm not sure that Rome—the great city of Rome—has no restrictions on trading or the sale of alcohol for Easter—just a bit of trivia there.Glen Bennett—he mentioned 52 took the oath on the Bible; it was actually 52 took the affirmation and 71 took the Bible. I'm not sure where he got the thought that I wasn't sympathetic to him because I took the oath on the Bible as well no problem at all.Jan talked about as we expected: alcohol is bad—everything to do with alcohol is bad and everything to do with marijuana is good. So we won't go down that track.Liz Craig talked about stress and mindfulness without actually acknowledging that that is part of a business owner's remit now. They have to consider stress mindfulness and how workers are reacting and their mental health—everything. That didn't happen before.Vanushi Walters again talked about wellbeing and I quite agree quite agree but I must remind Vanushi of last week during the electoral reform bill when she said things should go to the select committee to be discussed. It just seems a little bit inconsistent.Emily Henderson protecting holidays—I think if my staff heard you refer to me as a Scrooge you'd have them to answer to because you obviously don't understand what employers and business owners actually have to do for their staff these days. One of my cleaners just recently said "What are Labour trying to do to us? Put us all on the dole?"Hansard is an interesting tool and I just had a quick look over some previous speeches. Grant Robertson during the 2013 marriage amendment bill—oh just carried on and on about personal choice that people should be able to choose for themselves. It just seems except for business owners and employees.There were lots of speeches from Labour members quite viciously attacking the Opposition for voting along the party lines and rubbishing the Opposition for not having an opinion of their own. Just a lot of inconsistencies.There's a lot of talk about business owners and people being forced—and it just really shows the utter naivety and/or ignorance about what employers actually have to go through. This bill would not make employees work—it is written there; it's quite clear. Really to me it just shows it's lucky Labour and Greens don't own businesses because they would be awful employers. Thank you Mr Speaker."
