Kuriger BarbaraBARBARA KURIGER (National—Taranaki - King Country): Thank you Madam Speaker. Thanks to the Minister who's really outlined much of the detail in this bill. I would say that the National caucus is happy to oblige on collaborative debate where the Government comes up with sensible solutions. So we find the changes in this bill particularly sensible. It is important for 1 April that this bill is being done under urgency; however I would ask the Minister to put some further urgency on transport projects because over the last 3½ years we have not seen under previous transport Ministers any urgency at all in this department.This bill really is enabling transport instruments. It will enable the Minister of Transport to allocate the maintenance of detailed requirements within legislation to a specified individual such as the relevant transport regulator. So the whole thing about this bill is to enable a quick response to change ensuring decision making is sitting at the right level modernising existing exemptions—lots of what seem like minor fixes but hopefully will help to speed up the system because we do know that we really do need some speeding up in transport.What I would actually ask in relation to this bill there are other bills that could be done that would help to speed up the transport process and I refer particularly to bills like the Resource Management Act (RMA). Without that we're not going to be ultimately able to speed up transport in a way that is acceptable to this country. I think about a project in my own local electorate—the Mount Messenger project. It was announced by Sir John Key when he was the Prime Minister in 2016. It was appropriated in the 2016 Budget. It has been supported by people from both sides of the House including previous local MP Minister Little. It's been supported by Minister Twyford in his time. It's been supported by the Prime Minister and just trying to get it through RMA processes—it's not that the Government is slowing this one down; it's actually the processes of the—Hon Michael Wood: It's the member's constituents!BARBARA KURIGER: Yeah. It's the Resource Management Act and the process that is undertaken around that. So while we're spending time today fixing up the small parts of transport I urge the Government to work with the National caucus when it comes to the Resource Management Act and see if we can get some sort of collaborative debate going on across the House because nothing is really being delivered in transport at the moment.I would also make another request in all of this: there's a lot of talk about public transport but 94 percent of personal travel in New Zealand occurs in private vehicles and there are some things we can do in cities around public transport but certainly in electorates like mine private transport is going to be a thing for a very long time to come. So we need the roads up kept maintained and in certain areas we need new builds of roads. So let's not let ideology get in the way because it's slowing down progress on key strategic infrastructure in transport.So at that point I'm going to leave it at that because I would like to get through this bill and let the Minister get on with his real job of building roads.
