Davidson ReubenREUBEN DAVIDSON (Labour—Christchurch East): Thank you Madam Chair. It's good to have this opportunity to speak to an amendment which should have just landed on the Table which is an amendment to the title. It's on the basis of ensuring that there is as much honesty and integrity in the bill as possible. So that's about making sure that what's on the box matches what's in the box so to speak. Hon Rachel Brooking: Or the tin even.REUBEN DAVIDSON: Or the tin—the tin. Thank you. Hon Andrew Bayly: What on earth does that mean?REUBEN DAVIDSON: Thank you. I'm so pleased that a member across the Chamber has asked for me to provide a little more detail on what the term What's on the tin is the same as what's in the tin." means or as another member next to me has just asked "What's on the box is the same as what's in the box." I'm anticipating that this may take me more than five minutes but I'm fully prepared to take the time required—CHAIRPERSON (Maureen Pugh): Only if you get to the point.REUBEN DAVIDSON: —to explain. So just to finish the quick explanation "What's on the box or tin is the same as what's in the box or tin." essentially means it is what it says it is. So you don't open the box and find that it's not what was on the box that's in the box and you don't open the tin and find that it's not what's in the tin that was on the tin; you find that it is what it says it is.This brings me to my amendment—CHAIRPERSON (Maureen Pugh): Good.REUBEN DAVIDSON: —and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to explain the amendment further. Currently the title is the "Waste Minimisation (Waste Disposal Levy) Amendment Bill". My amendment suggests—and it's probably important to give a bit of background here around specifically what the bill is doing and addressing and around what these proposed amendments are aiming to do. That's broadening the scope of the activities of the bill so that the levies collected don't relate just to refuse and rubbish and those things that the bill had up till this point been intended for but in fact now shift to being able to mitigate or make good damage caused by other activities or events that have negative environmental impacts. When we start talking about that we're talking about chemical runoff and we're talking about mining and exploratory activities that might happen on land and the necessary—as we all know—steps that have to be taken once those kinds of activities are carried out to clean up the damage that's done. We also know that recently a bill that very much is in the tin—or in the box; the same as what's on the tin or on the box—is the Fast-track Approvals Bill. My suggestion is that if we're going to continue in that vein—if we're going to create bills and have bills moved through the House—and in this instance today at great speed despite my contribution right now—at great speed then I think that it's only appropriate for us to accept my amendment which is to change the title of the bill from the "Waste Minimisation (Waste Disposal Levy) Amendment Bill" to something a little more straightforward and a little more related to the other bill that it dovetails in so tidily behind and that would be to change it to the "Waste Minimisation (Last-track Levy) Amendment Bill" because this bill—Hon Member: What a load of rubbish—sit down. REUBEN DAVIDSON: —will effectively become the backstop. A member across the Chamber calls it a load of rubbish. That's a really relevant heckle to raise at this time because the load of rubbish that the member refers to won't be able to be addressed because the resource and the funds and the revenue that are generated through the initial bill are going to be tied up in other places doing other things to other damage that's caused by activity that's carried out through the fast-track bill. So by making this a sister bill—or a brother bill if you will; a fellow bill—to the fast-track bill we would do that by calling it the "Waste Minimisation (Last-track Levy) Amendment Bill" and I hope that the committee can support my amendment. Thank you very much."
