Hon MARYAN STREET (Labour) 
: 
 I move  
That this House note that the global illicit trade in arms contributes to unlawful armed violence violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law and hampers socio-economic development; recognise the need for those consequences to be addressed by a legally binding United Nations Arms Trade Treaty with robust and comprehensive scope criteria and implementation provisions; and reaffirm the commitment of New Zealand to the negotiation of such a treaty in July this year

[Sitting date: 27 June 2012. Volume:681;Page:3463. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
Hon TAU HENARE (National) 
: 
 Kia ora Mr Speaker. Let us go back a couple of years to 2005 when the Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade Committee decided— 
Brendan Horan 
: That’s 7 years. 
Hon TAU HENARE 
: Oh it is just a couple—it is a couple. The chair John Hayes who spoke in the debate earlier on is absolutely right. I just want to say that if you have a look at Phil Twyford’s bill the Depleted Uranium (Prohibition) Bill it is basically three lines that have been stolen from the minority report. Sometimes we have very in-depth minority reports. But the minority report in 2005 was three lines long. So did Phil Twyford do his homework? Of course he did. He went to the select committee picked up the report and cut and pasted three lines. And the three lines in that report said to ban the manufacture the use the storage the supply and the transit of armour and munitions. That is all it said. That was the minority report. So this is nothing but a flight of fancy to get the guy in the news. 
All of the scientific evidence says and even the International Atomic Energy Agency says—and I will read it out. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported in 2003 that “Based on credible scientific evidence there is no proven link between DU exposure and increases in human cancers or other significant health or environmental impacts.” It is actually time to look at the real things in front of this country and not some sort of Fabian fantasy that is going on inside that small head of Mr Phil Twyford. 
Hon Simon Bridges 
: That sounds like a movie Shane Jones would watch! 
Hon TAU HENARE 
: Yes well it could have been. There is no reason for us to go down this path.

Bakshi Kanwaljit Singh: Fair Trading (Soliciting on Behalf of Charities) Amendment Bill — Third Reading 
[Sitting date: 27 June 2012. Volume:681;Page:3443. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
KANWALJIT SINGH BAKSHI (National) 
: 
 Sat sri akaal Mr Speaker. I thank you for the opportunity to speak in the third reading of the Fair Trading (Soliciting on Behalf of Charities) Amendment Bill. During the first and second readings of this bill I shared my concerns which I am sure are the concerns put forward by many ordinary New Zealanders each time they make a donation. The concern is about how much of the money we donate as generously as New Zealanders do to the charity actually gets utilised for the purpose that we donate it. 
Other speakers in the House including me have shared statistics that advise of 23000 registered charities in New Zealand with billions of dollars flowing in in the form of donations for charitable purposes. These concerns which most New Zealanders share are not based on anything; these are based on some good investigative journalism. The media has on a number of occasions reported that charitable organisations end up paying a significant portion of their donation to the organisations or individuals engaged by these charities to generate donations. 
Not just the media but the Commerce Commission in its research too found that individuals sought greater clarity and transparency in the amount of money that was collected by those on behalf of the charities. We all know that services that we engage must be paid for. However one must acknowledge that when it comes to collecting donations good-hearted people who donate have every right to know where and how much of their money is going. 
The Fair Trading Act seeks to bring transparency to the system. This critical legislation seeks to address the process of raising funds using a third party on behalf of the charitable organisations. The legislation covers the activities of the third party such as how much money was collected and how much money then was handed over to the charity so that it can be spent on a worthy cause. Basically this bill seeks complete disclosure of activities by the third parties that are engaged in charities. 
The legislation is not about regulating the charities or charitable organisations. These are covered under the Charities Act. It is reasonably easy for anyone to undertake an audit or examination of the financial statements of the charity if fund-raising and the subsequent spending was taken by the charity. The legislation’s focus is clarity in the terms of transparency and disclosure from the third party undertaking donations collection on behalf of the charities. 
Before I conclude I would like to congratulate my colleague Michael Woodhouse on taking over this bill from the Hon Amy Adams. I commend this bill to the House.

: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I am not asking you to rule on it now but I think a related point and something that could cause confusion was raised by my colleague the senior Opposition whip—that is doubt has now been cast as to the presence of members in the precincts. We have now had some evidence of that. There is a question for the National Party whips: not only do they have the proxies but are they exercising more proxies than they are entitled to?

MAGGIE BARRY (National—North Shore) 
: 
 I rise to support the Shop Trading Hours Act Repeal (Waitaki Easter Trading) Amendment Bill. It is a very narrow bill. It is confined to Wanaka. Queenstown has these rules and regulations; why should Wanaka not? For those on the other side of the House who do not even know where it is I would point out it is a tourism destination. Dr Prasad has taken sanctimony to a whole new level. We are—[ 
Interruption 
] For list MPs he does—for list MPs who do not understand what it is like to actually serve an electorate and represent its interests. Jacqui Dean has actually done an excellent job. I agree with Ms Street that it is a dog’s breakfast. 
This piece of legislation is an excellent amendment. I totally support it. It is a narrow bill. I think that Dr Prasad lives in a secular State of his own creation and is an extremely sanctimonious person. I completely disagree with him and as a list MP he should get a grip. I entirely support Jacqui Dean as she fights so hard for her electorate and for an excellent amendment. Thank you.

ANDREW WILLIAMS (NZ First) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. Last evening in this House at the conclusion of the party vote on the third reading of the mixed-ownership model legislation I raised a point of order under Standing Order 141 seeking a personal vote on the legislation. This was ruled out by Deputy Speaker Eric Roy. Standing Order 141 states that a member can ask for a personal vote if the party vote is very close and it could make a material difference. The 61 to 60 party vote could not have been any closer. A personal vote may well have made a material difference to the result in this House as this House had not heard from some members and it had also not heard from some parties. I would seek guidance from you as to what can trigger Standing Order 141 and I ask what written advice you have as to when this Standing Order may be applied.

[Sitting date: 27 June 2012. Volume:681;Page:3490. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
DENIS O’ROURKE (NZ First) 
: 
 New Zealand First supports the Holidays (Full Recognition of Waitangi Day and ANZAC Day) Amendment Bill. I wish on behalf of New Zealand First MPs to make these five points although given the time I probably will not be able to make all of them tonight. 
First of all when the tradition of celebrating Waitangi Day and Anzac Day by holiday was first begun Saturdays and Sundays were much less days of work for people. These days however very large numbers of people do work on both Saturdays and Sundays simply because they have to these days if they are going to make a living. Saturdays and Sundays for those people are not holidays and they tend to be the same as any other day of the week. So when Anzac Day or Waitangi Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday these people get no holiday at all because there is no Mondayisation of those holidays as we know. This is quite simply unfair to people who always work on weekends and that can be corrected only by having a substitute holiday on the following Monday. 
I would have to say having listened to speakers from the other side of the House that National’s attitude to this issue is quite simply just mean—just mean. I believe National members should seriously reconsider this whole issue because that is the way huge numbers of people in this country are going to see them for this particular attitude. 
Secondly there needs to be an opportunity for people who work on Saturdays and Sundays to actually observe Anzac Day and Waitangi Day on the following Monday in their own way. Obviously if they have to work on a Saturday or Sunday and Anzac Day or Waitangi Day falls on one of those days then they have no opportunity at all in real terms to actually observe those very special days. 
Debate interrupted.

Mr SPEAKER 
: The member raises a perfectly fair point that in the transfer of questions between Ministers it is important to try to make sure the text is adjusted accordingly. My office does endeavour to try to do that correctly and every now and then as the member points out right now it is arguable that has not been achieved with this question. I apologise to the member for that but I think the question does have to be asked the way it is now. But every care will be taken in the future to try to make sure that does not happen.

[Sitting date: 27 June 2012. Volume:681;Page:3475. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
LOUISE UPSTON (National—Taupo) 
: 
 I am pleased to support my colleague Jacqui Dean in the efforts to get this Shop Trading Hours Act Repeal (Waitaki Easter Trading) Amendment Bill to the Commerce Committee. I want to be very clear about my reasons for doing so and bring some perspective back to this particular bill. Jacqui Dean as the hard-working member for Waitaki is talking about this bill so that retailers in the Waitaki electorate—this is a small geographic area—are able to open on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. As the member has stated it will be amended so that it refers just to Easter Sunday. 
The purpose of doing this is that this area is recognised as an area for tourism. In November 1989 an exemption to the Shop Trading Hours Act 1977 allowed retailers in Taupo to open on Sundays from 10 till 3 in recognition of it being an area of tourism activity. So I appreciate the arguments that have been put forward by the Labour member so far but I want to just bring it back to remind the House that this bill is not suggesting this change for everyone and it is not suggesting it for all in every area. It is a contained geographic area and one that has a specific function and purpose in terms of its appeal around tourism. As a very proud member representing a tourism-driven electorate I do not believe we should deny those retailers the opportunity or choice should they wish to trade on Easter Sunday for a period of 5 hours to do so. 
I just wish to remind the House that this is a constrained bill. It is a small area the focus is tourism and I would really like to encourage the members in the House to consider their conscience and allow this bill to be considered in a select committee from that perspective given that it is a narrow and constrained area. Thank you.

CHRIS HIPKINS (Senior Whip—Labour) 
: 
 Mr Speaker. 
Mr SPEAKER 
: I will hear the senior Opposition whip briefly. 
CHRIS HIPKINS 
: I will be very brief Mr Speaker. Mr Brownlee’s comments are quite correct in that for a whip to cast a full complement of party votes on behalf of their party they must have 75 percent of their members present within the parliamentary complex and the only way that that can be tested is by way of a personal vote. There are very few instances where that has been tried and the most recent time—and the only time in the duration of this Parliament—was an unexpected conscience vote on a gambling bill that was held recently. In that case of the National Party members 20 of them were absent and did not come to the Chamber to vote so that more than 25 percent of their members were not present for that vote. So I do not think it is unreasonable where there is a case where it is a one-vote majority for that to be able to be tested.

: It is absolutely a point of order. It is a point of order before we go into Committee because it was discussed at the Business Committee that the process would be to seek the leave of the House to incorporate at this point the amendments in the Minister’s name to the bill. 
Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER 
: As I said earlier that is not actually a point that the Speaker rules on. If there have been some considerations in the Business Committee or other places but the Minister wishes to go into Committee to have the amendments considered then that is the prerogative of the Minister. And at this stage I have no other instruction before me. So I declare the House in Committee for the consideration of the Appropriation (2011/12 Supplementary Estimates) Bill.

Hon PAREKURA HOROMIA (Labour—Ikaroa-Rawhiti) 
: 
 I seek to move a non-debatable motion relating to the passing of Major Hone Hikitia Te Rangi Waititi QSO JP. 
Mr SPEAKER 
: Is there any objection to that course of action being followed? There is none. 
Hon PAREKURA HOROMIA 
: Ka whakatau ahau 
 Kia arongia e te Whare tenei arakua rere atu a Hone Hikitia Te Rangi Waititi QSO tetahi o nga tino pakeke o tatou te rangatira morehu o Te Ropu Maori e 28 a ngauhia ana o tatou ngakau puta noa te motu e tenei ngaronga tangi ana hoki 
. 
[ 
I move  
That the House note that Hone Hikitia Te Rangi Waititi QSO one of our great elders an esteemed survivor of the 28th Maori Battalion has passed on and that Maoridom throughout the nation feel this loss and grieve as well.] 
Major John Waititi was the last surviving company commander of the 28th Maori Battalion in C Company. He fought in World War II and was well respected and loved by his company. He was a humble man with strong leadership characteristics. He went to Te Aute College from 1935 to 1938. While over in Italy he was wounded three times. From there the company moved on to fight in North Africa and Italy. Major Waititi said the comradeship of C Company was cemented on the battlefield of about a dozen battlefields from Olympus Pass to Cassino: “You develop this closeness because you realise if it wasn’t for your mates then you might have lost your own life. They were there to cover me. I covered them. These things are set aside as being sacred to us particularly those relating to the men who died.” 
Following Major Hone Waititi’s return to New Zealand he was elected president of the Maori Battalion. He and his first wife Mataku Allison farmed at Te Waiti. Much later in life he married his current wife Judy Clifford-Waititi and they have two children Kahurangi and Haimoana. 
Major John Waititi looked after his men when they returned creating employment opportunities and doing what he could to support them to return to life back in New Zealand. I had the privilege of attending his 90th birthday. He was a rare breed and a special man. He will be sorely missed by all Maoridom and New Zealanders generally. He has returned to his ancestral marae of Kauaetangohia in Cape Runaway where he will lie in state until Thursday. 
Motion agreed to.

DARIEN FENTON (Labour) 
: 
 I rise to take a call on the financial review of the Retirement Commissioner. It is a very interesting report from the Social Services Committee particularly given the debates that we have in front of us right now around superannuation and the issues that face our country in terms of how we are going to be able to afford superannuation for future generations. It is very disappointing that we have not been able to reach any sort of agreement on this issue.

[Sitting date: 26 June 2012. Volume:681;Page:3340. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
Hon ANNE TOLLEY (Minister of Police) 
: 
 I want to take a short call just to address a couple of points that the previous speaker Te Ururoa Flavell made particularly in relation to the Independent Police Conduct Authority and the Operation Eight report. I want to preface it by saying as a relatively new Minister of Police and having received only one report from the authority that the quality of that report was outstanding. I think the authority should be commended for the very thorough work that it does do in reporting on some of these major events in a way that the general public can follow pretty carefully through what has happened. Of course the report that I am referring to is the report into the accidental shooting of an innocent bystander when the police were pursuing an armed offender in Auckland. 
If I come back to Operation Eight the member himself made the point that the previous Minister of Police commented on the delay in the report from the Independent Police Conduct Authority until the court case was completed. Well it might be 5 years down the track but we are still awaiting the finalisation of that court case. We are still awaiting appeals. So in the interests of justice as much as all of us would like to have that Independent Police Conduct Authority report finished and have the report out in the public we do have to await the finality of the justice system. 
In the meantime I commend the Commissioner of Police for his meetings with Tuhoe. The point he has made is the fact that the operation was not against Tuhoe; in fact the operation took place right across the country against a wide array of people. But no doubt the people of Tuhoe await with the most interest the report from the Independent Police Conduct Authority—as we all do. Once the court case has been completed I have no doubt that that report will be forthcoming very promptly. 
So I would just like to finish by saying that I think we are very well served by the Independent Police Conduct Authority and of course we have a new head of that authority in Judge Carruthers. I am sure that the very high standard that has been set will continue under its new leadership.
