Rurawhe Adrian: Social Housing Reform (Flexible Purchasing and Remedial Matters) Bill — In CommitteeText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeRurawhe Adrian: Social Housing Reform (Flexible Purchasing and Remedial Matters) Bill — In Committee[Sitting date: 21 May 2015. Volume:705;Page:3648. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]ADRIAN RURAWHE (Labour—Te Tai Hauāuru): Part 2 Subpart 1—Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 clause 18 Section 5 amended (Meaning of term supply) new subsection (6F) reads: “For the purposes of this Act the amount payable by the Crown or the agency under the Housing Restructuring and Tenancy Matters Act 1992 under a reimbursement agreement or a tailored agreement under that Act for the provision of accommodation in social housing is treated as consideration for the supply of accommodation in a dwelling by way of hire.” My issue with this particular amendment isthat first of all it refers to something in Part 1 of the Act. I rose to take a point of order on that. It is actually incorrect. In New Zealand Statutes 1992 Volume 2 No. 76 Part 1—which also is part of this in Part 2 of the bill. I am doing this because it is every member of Parliament’s obligation to make sure that even in legislation that you do not agree with it is correct because I do not want to see this—The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch): Just one moment. Did you want a point of order did you? Did you actually ask for a point of order?ADRIAN RURAWHE: In the first part of the debate I did yes.The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch): Oh OK sorry. This is not a point of order. OK.ADRIAN RURAWHE: In clause 4 of Part 1 of the bill section 2 is amended. It refers to: “reimbursement agreement means an agreement referred to in section 85(1)”. In this statute book there is no section 85(1). It carries on to say “section 98(1)”—there is no subsection (1) of section 98. There is a difference between alphabetic and numeric—there is a section 85(a) but no section 85(1).The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch): Come back to Part 2.ADRIAN RURAWHE: I will come back to Part 2. Again new section 5(6F) in clause 18 refers to those very matters—“a reimbursement agreement or a tailored agreement”. Those clauses in Part 1 give effect to this clause and this clause now is redundant. In effect what has been passed in Part 1 is also redundant. We will be seeing this come back maybe as part of a Statutes Amendment Bill to correct it. This is wrong and it is incumbent upon me to tell this Committee so. That is what we get when we rush legislation through this House. This is what we get when the members opposite sit in absolute silence and do not participate in the debate about this part here Part 2. We need to hear from both the Minister and members opposite—the Government—about how they are going to correct this. This legislation is about to be passed in the next maybe 2½ hours. So somehow between now and then we have to make sure that we do not add additional cost to the taxpayer and that we correct this to make it as good as it can be because to do nothing would mean cost to this nation and I do not think that is good enough. I do not think it is good enough.I will refer to another part of Part 2 in particular Subpart 2—Housing Corporation Act 1974 which amends section 3B. That is about the Minister receiving advice from the Housing New Zealand Corporation. I am certain that if this had gone through a robust considered process then we would not be in here talking about—Meka Whaitiri: Errors.ADRIAN RURAWHE:—errors within this bill.
