Brown SimeonSIMEON BROWN (National—Pakuranga): Thank you Madam Speaker. It's a pleasure to take a call on this first—no sorry second. No no. Today it's the third reading. I think it's the third reading—third reading—of the Self-contained—Hon Members: Are you sure?SIMEON BROWN: Well I hope. Well I'd like to ask the whip and the Chair. Is it the third reading? It is the third reading—the third reading of the Self-contained Motor Vehicles Legislation Bill. But I wonder whether the Minister actually moved the correct motion that this is the third reading of the Self-contained Motor Vehicles Legislation Bill.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Order! Order! Order! Just sticking to the actual third reading would be really helpful.SIMEON BROWN: Yes that's right. But thank goodness for legislative statements. Thank goodness for legislative statements because whilst the Minister was giving a very elaborate speech thank goodness we have a legislative statement which says everything that the Minister intended to say. But the National Party won't be supporting this piece of legislation because effectively what the Government is doing is ramming through its own ideological approach to how to deal with the problem which we do acknowledge needs addressing. But instead of working with very respectable and reputable organisations—like the New Zealand Motor Caravan Association (NZMCA) who already do a fantastic job self-regulating their tens of thousands of members across New Zealand to deal with the issue around campervans and toilets—they have instead decided that they know best and they're going to be putting in place an incredibly onerous regime which requires that all of these people who currently use portable toilets in their caravans will now need to go and get fixed toilets put in their caravans at great expense without having a flexible approach which achieves the same outcome. And so we want to achieve the same outcome but we want to do it with the least cost and burden on New Zealanders. That's what it comes to. We want our country to be beautiful. We want people to enjoy the freedom to be able to camp and we want them to do that in a clean and sustainable way but we want to do that in a way which imposes the least burden upon those New Zealanders who are enjoying this country.This Government decides to come along and wants to put in the highest costs they can on New Zealanders. And it's not just when it comes to toilets—which is the subject here—but taxes and showers and you name it. They want everyone to pay more and get less. And that is I think what sums up this Government's approach to every issue. It is to take the highest regulatory approach the worst regulatory approach to dealing with the issue rather than trying to take the least regulatory the least costly approach to dealing with these issues.And so the National Party—and I acknowledge Hon Todd McClay for the work that he's been doing on this bill advocating for the tens of thousands of members of caravan owners and tens of thousands of members of the New Zealand Motor Caravan Association who are good hard-working respectable people who want the best—who are environmentalists at heart—for this country and just wanted to get some flexibility put in place. But this Government voted that down.We also want to make sure that the NZMCA could support the Plumbers Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board with running a certification process. But no this Government knows best. They love regulation. Rather than working with the organisation which already has a relationship with the members who have the caravans they've decided to go and organise their own process. And then of course they're not willing to put in place proper review of this legislation because this Government thinks they know best and so want to rush this through.And so the National Party—we stand on the side of less regulation not more. We stand on the side of fewer regulations good regulation and achieving outcomes with the least regulatory approach. That's what the National Party believes in. Labour—they just want to impose costs and burdens on New Zealanders and that is unacceptable and it's appalling and that is why we need to change this Government on 14 October. Thank you very much.
