Brown Peter: Dog Control Amendment Bill (No 2) — First Reading 
Brown Peter: Dog Control Amendment Bill (No 2) — First Reading 
[Volume:644;Page:13902] 
PETER BROWN (Deputy Leader—NZ First) 
: 
 I listened with interest to the member Nick Smith. He took his full call and I am none the wiser about whether he will support the Dog Control Amendment Bill (No 2). I am absolutely clueless as to what he is going to do. He went all round the bushes and back again and could not even tell the House whether he will support the bill. 
Martin Gallagher 
: He doesn’t know. 
PETER BROWN 
: He does not know. I would not mind betting that National will support it. I think it will support the bill. National members are totally negative but they will support it. 
Gerry Brownlee 
: Pay the money back to the taxpayer. 
PETER BROWN 
: There he is. There is old Gerry Brownlee. He is awake after his night on the town. He is awake.  
The Dog Control Amendment Bill (No 2) is a very simple bill. It is very straightforward. It does not attempt to replace the Dog Control Act 1996 at all. It is not designed to do that. It simply amends that Act to address I suggest to the members over there if they read it two key areas. One it poses a “Duty of territorial authorities to adopt policy on dogs”—I am reading that; it is a heading to clause 4. And two clause 5 inserts a new section 33E headed “Effect of classification as menacing dog”. A dog that can be determined as a menacing dog has to be neutered if not immediately then in due course. In the fullness of time that will reduce considerably the number of menacing dogs; if not down to zero it will reduce them considerably over time. 
Gerry Brownlee 
: How? 
PETER BROWN 
: If the member cannot work that out then he should not be here.  
This is a very simple bill. It is obvious the public has some concern about menacing dogs out there. I think it is very straightforward. New Zealand First will support it going to select committee. Thank you.

[Volume:644;Page:13900] 
MARTIN GALLAGHER (Labour—Hamilton West) 
: 
 The previous speaker very much reminded me of the notion of the glass being half full or half empty. That member always sees a glass that is half empty. Are those members supporting the bill or not supporting it in its first reading and referral to the select committee? After that speech I have to say I do not know. How about that member for once in her political life on behalf of the people of Coromandel being a little bit positive? The people of Coromandel want a positive member. Just for once in that member’s life could she be a little bit positive?  
She knows as we all do that dog safety is achieved through good law that is kept under review in the light of experience good enforcement by local authorities community support for local enforcement and responsible dog ownership. As that member knows in her heart of hearts there is no one magic solution or magic bullet for the myriad of issues surrounding responsible dog management and dog control. That member may find that it would be very very good for her health if she was positive. As it is the Christmas season and all that it would be really good for that member just once in her life to say there are good things in this legislation.  
Let us get down at the select committee and get through the bill. That is positive leadership. Without further ado I commend this bill because I am a positive member and I wish the members of the select committee well in their consideration of this bill. 
Gerry Brownlee 
: Bye bye! 
MARTIN GALLAGHER 
: I say bye bye to that member and to those members’ negativism.

Barker Rick: Dog Control Amendment Bill (No 2) — First Reading 
[Volume:644;Page:13898] 
Hon RICK BARKER (Minister of Internal Affairs) 
 on behalf of the  
Minister of Local Government 
: I move  
That the Dog Control Amendment Bill (No 2) be now read a first time 
. I intend to move at the appropriate time that the bill be referred to the Local Government and Environment Committee for consideration. 
Ensuring safety around dogs depends on a combination of four principles: good law effective enforcement by local councils community support for the councils’ work and responsible dog ownership. Good law alone is not enough to stop dog attacks and this law and the principles it embodies need to be supported by the community. 
The Government has made a number of changes to the dog control law and is looking to outlaw further lists of dogs in the future. In short though this bill requires councils to include in their dog policies any additional matters that are specified in regulations. 
The bill changes the way in which the law deals with menacing dogs. It requires a mandatory neutering of dogs that are classified as menacing on the basis of their belonging to a breed or being a type of dog listed in schedule 4 of the Act. The bill simplifies the process for adding further breeds and types of dogs to that schedule. 
The bill continues the Government’s work of keeping dog laws under review and constantly improving them for the security of our communities. This bill is part of that ongoing process and I therefore commend it to the House.

[Volume:644;Page:13895] 
MARTIN GALLAGHER (Labour—Hamilton West) 
: 
 I want to take a brief call on the Affordable Housing: Enabling Territorial Authorities Bill. I certainly want to commend the Minister for her excellent introductory speech. I also take this opportunity to observe that even in Hamilton in the Waikato the issue of affordable housing is very important. I want to make a couple of brief observations.  
To those people who say that all we need to do is create more greenfield sites and that it is purely an issue of supply and demand I ask them to have a look at Hamilton. The city has grown literally by about one-third or more in the last decade or two with new greenfield sites. Have we had affordable housing sections in those new greenfield sites? No absolutely not! So obviously legislation is going to be required to have some impact in order to create those affordable housing projects.  
The other week the Minister visited Habitat for Humanity in the Waikato and met Mr John Gallagher the chairman and also Pete North. It was a fantastic meeting and I have to say I was exceptionally impressed as was the Minister with the wonderful work that Habitat is doing. I am hoping as a result of this bill that that will be one of the organisations that will be a partner in this context. We visited one of the residents of a Habitat property who is moving to own her own property and she said: This is not just about the bricks and the mortar—the structure—it is about having a home and a house that realises our dreams and aspirations and lets us get on with our life journey.” 
That was a very very fantastic day. As the member for Hamilton West I give credit to that organisation. [

Benson-Pope David: Affordable Housing: Enabling Territorial Authorities Bill — First Reading 
[Volume:644;Page:13884] 
DAVID BENSON-POPE (Labour—Dunedin South) 
: 
 I am pleased to take a brief call in support of the Affordable Housing: Enabling Territorial Authorities Bill. Before I begin I observe that we have just heard a most extraordinary contribution from a member of a previous Government that gave us leaky homes and of course the Resource Management Act; but those discussions I will keep for another day. 
I am pleased to speak in support of this legislation. I refer Mr Heatley and his colleagues to the bill’s title. This is another example of a pattern of behaviour that Labour has demonstrated since 1999—of working with local government to achieve solutions that it is happy with. The solutions that happen in each area will be determined by local communities not by people who rely on the free hand of the market to mess up most things. 
I compliment my colleague the Hon Maryan Street on the introduction of the bill. It meets and will begin to address some of the challenges that this Government and this community face. The first challenge in the wider housing area was the assault by the previous Government on the State housing stock. The community has not forgotten that members opposite who are bleating right now tried to cover with a most unsuccessful smokescreen the fact that National sold over 13000 State houses. The other pattern of behaviour that has contributed to some of the difficulties that we all acknowledge in our community in this area right now is the interesting and extraordinary behaviour of the banking and non-banking financial sector. Clearly people who have not been required to put equity into loans have unfortunately exposed themselves more than prudent investors would have done in terms of the housing market. 
As the Minister said earlier this bill is one part of a palette of initiatives that will address those challenges. First of all we have the work that the Housing New Zealand Corporation is doing right now in our communities in terms of replacing reconfiguring and restoring our housing stock; secondly we have the initiative around the Welcome Home Loan scheme; and thirdly we have the very very great success of KiwiSaver enrolments. Members will be aware that we were expecting KiwiSaver enrolments to be at 300000 at this point. Well they are already at 316000 so the end-of-year target has been well exceeded. That will be very good news for a large number of New Zealanders when it comes to moving into their own affordable housing. This involves work with local government in order to enable what is appropriate for its communities. 
As the Minister said in her first reading speech this bill is one of a number of tools that will lead to further productive collaboration with local communities and it will help New Zealanders to build their communities in the shape in which they want them to be built. I am pleased to commend the bill to the House.

: 
 After that supercilious and patronising speech I will just place it on the record that the Government and I as an individual member of Parliament for Auckland Central think that this Waka Umanga (Maori Corporations) Bill is a very good bill. The bill gives options for Maori who as business groups have been ignored and often sneered at by members opposite. I endorse the work of this Minister and I look forward to this bill being well debated and well discussed at the select committee by Maori and by other New Zealanders. It is a good bill and I commend it to the House.

Hansard 
 and the television footage will show that no party vote was called; everyone in the House was in favour of that and what the National Party opposed was to do with the Maori Affairs Committee meeting outside Standing Orders on the sitting days because the Maori Affairs Committee is not the busiest one in Parliament. I want to make the point that the error occurred as a result of human error and the Clerk is aware of that. I want to put that on record. 
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Ann Hartley)

Hon DARREN HUGHES (Deputy Leader of the House) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I am just a bit confused about your ruling. Are you saying that if Opposition members debate the wrong part and cannot get themselves organised to debate the right question before the Committee you will then allow them to continue making speeches until they finally get their act together and debate the right part? 
Gerry Brownlee 
: Don’t question the Chair you pompous dick! 
Hon DARREN HUGHES 
: The member complained a moment ago about being interrupted and Mr Chairperson you almost threw a member out of the Chamber for that. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Clem Simich) 
: We will not deal with that one in that way either. I think we all understand—one two and that is it. There will be no more noise during a point of order. 
Hon DARREN HUGHES 
: Is the position now that it is possible to speak to the wrong part— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Clem Simich) 
: No. 
Hon DARREN HUGHES 
: —then when the closure is sought for the Chair to rule that members can keep on talking until they get to the right one? 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Clem Simich) 
: Funnily enough it is possible to do anything but whoever is in the Chair is the sole judge of whether points being raised or debate being had is relevant and whether it should continue. I do not need any reasons for doing that. But I have heard sufficient argument in the points of order to convince me that it would not be a bad idea to hear further speakers on new Part 2B. That is why I am calling Chris Tremain.

Dr the Hon LOCKWOOD SMITH (National—Rodney) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I would like to draw to your attention that the specific questions I was asking the Minister related to the issues outlined in proposed Part 2B in respect of CPI adjustment. If you check Part 2B you will see there a number of clauses that are proposed to be indexed. I was asking the Minister why given that under her clause 117A which had been passed she had agreed to certain clauses being indexed she was refusing to address the other financial amounts specified in the various clauses detailed in clause 117D of Part 2B on my colleague’s Supplementary Order Paper. On that issue we have had no answer and I believe that we deserve some answers on why those quanta are not CPI adjusted. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Clem Simich) 
: I do not disagree with you Dr Smith and that is why I am allowing further debate on the part. Given the issues raised in the points of order I am sure the next contributor will discuss indexation.

GERRY BROWNLEE (National—Ilam) 
: 
 The Hon Annette King tries to put across in a plausible way the argument that the Opposition got it wrong. Everyone in the country knows that this bill is a mess and it will come as no surprise to anybody to learn that somehow we were supposed to have been debating new Subpart 9 while we were working through Part 2. This is the sort of shifty tricky stuff that the Government has done throughout this debate. 
The reality is that the smiling Deputy Leader of the House knows that there was some understanding about how long this bill would be debated for. Labour of course has brought out the jackboots and kicked that agreement to one side and is now surprised that the Opposition wants to discuss factual matters that relate to Mr Simpson’s—sorry Mr Finlayson’s—Supplementary Order Paper 166. [

Hon ANNETTE KING (Minister of Justice) 
: 
 I have been following the debate closely and Christopher Finlayson raised serious issues but I have to say that members of the Opposition have been debating my amendment to add Subpart 9 which has already been passed. They should have discussed that when we were debating Part 2. They have got it wrong; they have not debated the part they are supposed to debate. It is obvious they have not done any homework on this part and I do not think we can take seriously their wish to continue debating it.

GERRY BROWNLEE (National—Ilam) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. Just out of interest for the benefit of you and other members of the Committee you mentioned that we might go to Part 3. If I have a quick look at Part 3 I see just off the top of my head about 30 clauses in it. When we dive into the bill we see that Part 3 “Miscellaneous” deals with general provisions penalties etc. It has a lot of numbers in it a lot of dates and a lot of other small procedural things—references etc—in it. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Clem Simich) 
: Is the member trying to explain to the Committee and to me that more discussion on Part 2B is necessary? 
GERRY BROWNLEE 
: Yes I am. We can either have a full discussion on this part—which the Government of course does not want; I accept that—or have the same sort of truncated discussion on Part 3 then spend 5 or 6 hours voting on various amendments that it would be opportune for us to make. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Clem Simich)
