Lee MelissaMELISSA LEE (National): Thank you Madam Assistant Speaker. I'd like to commend the member who just took her seat the Hon Ruth Dyson. Doing 10 minutes on a very small and minor technical bill is actually a feat indeed. I'm obviously not going to take 10 minutes to filibuster because all parties are actually in agreement I think.I was sitting outside in the lobby just waiting and doing some other work and I actually heard Deborah Russell speaking earlier. I just want to respond to her before I actually get on with this bill. I think she said—she said quite a few things but I think there was one thing that she said that actually pricked my ears up. She was talking about how businesses don't like uncertainty. I think she actually said that Businesses don't like uncertainty". I think on this side there were a few chuckles and we have to actually agree that businesses don't like uncertainty. I definitely agree with that.The thing is that the oil and gas exploration industry in Taranaki got the message of certainty from this Government that they don't back the industry they don't back the region and they don't care about regional economic growth or development. The Government doesn't actually care about the 11000 jobs that it literally killed off with its announcement to decimate the economic future of Taranaki and the oil and gas exploration. [Interruption] I know I'm a little bit emotional because I thought "Hang on a minute. She makes sense. She's talking about businesses needing certainty." That's right; they do. But the kind of message that this Government sends is the wrong certainty that they're delivering for a region that they apparently care about.Back to the bill. I know I get a little bit excited. I got this synopsis from the library. It's a debate pack. This Crown Minerals Amendment Bill 2018 makes minor and technical clarification to the Crown Minerals Act of 1991. We should always do that. We need to update our legislation every so often. In terms of the kind of information that it gives me: it changes things like the duration of the permit the time frames of notifying the revocation of the permit the process relating to changes of control of permit participants permit classification. It just seems like they're talking about permits permits permits.But the thing that really sort of pricked my ear again was this whole issue of when the changes are not notified to the Minister that it actually has a monetary impact on the company. Up to $800000 when a Minister of Energy and Resources is actually not notified—I think that has to be a big deterrent for the companies to not break the rule.I know I'm speaking slightly longer than I was meant to and it actually reminded me of a recent event that happened in my birth country. On 27 April the two Koreas actually came together in a big summit—the first time the North Korean leader actually crossed the border and they came together. This particular segment actually reminded me: is there a way that we could put a monetary penalty on any of those two countries whether North Korea or South Korea if they break the spirit in which they came together in the peace process? And I wish Korea the best of luck.I commend the Minister. As the parties involved we are all in support so I commend the bill to the House and look forward to the submissions and the select committee."
