Martin TraceyHon TRACEY MARTIN (NZ First): Kia ora. Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. I just rise to take a short contribution on this bill on behalf of New Zealand First. Can I acknowledge the last speaker Jacqui Dean and her contribution with regard to Business New Zealand I believe and Kirk Hope and a press release that was put out today. I would suggest—I know that the National Party is new to Opposition but there is actually a portal that you can go through where you can have a look at all the submissions that were placed on the record the last two times that this bill went to select committee. So I encourage the members and I particularly encourage the new members—because obviously some of the Ministers perhaps need to go back and have a look there. Now that they don't have staff to go and find things for them perhaps they would like to and have a look at some of the thousands upon thousands of submissions that were actually put through as they bemoan the fact that this Government will take action and that this Government refuses to waste taxpayers' money by for a third time going back through to a select committee process on a bill that had 99.6 percent support from the submitters that had the time and had made the effort to actually submit on it. But if the members would like to go and find those submissions I'm sure they'll be able to find whether Business New Zealand—I don't think it was under the leadership of Mr Hope—put in a submission. The other thing too that I would make a comment on is that it's lovely that the Opposition has offered to help the Government improve legislation by providing information for a possible Supplementary Order Paper at the committee of the whole House. Can I ask—it would be very interesting if the Opposition would like the next member that stands to explain if Ms Dowie's contribution is going to be so brilliant and improve this legislation so much—why did they not include it in June 2016 when they put through their parental leave legislation? Was Ms Dowie not able to contribute at that time? Was there some sort of barrier to Ms Dowie actually putting through those opportunities because that is the last time those Opposition members stood up—[Interruption] Whoa whoa! That got a nerve—that got a nerve. There we go. And if that upset them let's start with this—but I was told to be quick so I'll go for just one more. We've heard a lot from the Opposition members that they have no idea what this costs that there is no concept of finances etc. etc. It has been through select committee twice and had other people—had finances laid out in front of them. Perhaps they weren't looking perhaps they weren't reading perhaps they weren't listening—it wouldn't be the first time. But Mr Hudson Mr Brett Hudson—I went and did my homework. This is everything the National Party ever said on this the last two times it came through the House—right? So Mr Hudson said I would encourage them and New Zealanders to go to the Parliament website and read the advice that committee members received from the ministry" with regard to the finances. So please please can we put some sort of sense into this debate? If one's going to be a strong Opposition then you really need to do the research before you stand up and not have to get the Government to explain how this works. I commend the bill to the House. New Zealand First will support the bill."
