 I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. In the speaking list for the urgent debate the next call is set down as a 5-minute call for the Maori Party and I am aware that the Maori Party has not taken a call in the debate. I therefore seek leave for us to move on to the next call on the list which is a Labour call—a 10-minute call—and if the Maori Party chooses to take its call subsequently it can have its 5-minute call then.

 According to the order of debate set out when the urgent debate is called by the Labour Party the Maori Party would have its call at slot No. 5 and therefore that has already passed albeit that the order of calls remains at the Speaker’s discretion. So I do not think there is actually any need to seek leave for Labour to take its 10-minute call now.

: I am bound to give a 5-minute call for the next one because it has not taken place. So leave has been sought. Is there anyone opposed to that course of action? It appears not. Leave is granted.

Mr SPEAKER 
: I have received a letter from Grant Robertson seeking to debate under Standing Order 386 the release by the ACC of private details of ACC clients. The release is a particular case of recent occurrence for which there is ministerial responsibility. The requirement of recent occurrence refers to when the member became aware of the matter rather than when it actually occurred. Given the nature of the matter I consider it important enough to warrant the immediate attention of the House by way of urgent debate. I therefore call on Ross Robertson— 
Grant Robertson 
: Grant Robertson. Withdraw and apologise! 
Mr SPEAKER 
: I withdraw and apologise. I therefore call on Mr Grant Robertson to move that the House take note of a matter of urgent public importance.

JAMI-LEE ROSS (National—Botany) 
 to the  
Associate Minister of Transport 
: What is the Government doing to raise awareness about upcoming changes to the give way rules? 
Hon CHRIS TREMAIN (Associate Minister of Transport) 
: 
 The Government is investing $1.2 million in an intensive public awareness campaign including leaflets television and radio ads web resources published articles and media releases. The New Zealand Transport Agency resources have been available since February for councils police the Automobile Association driving instructors and other key organisations to ensure a consistency of message. It is very important that drivers take extra care at intersections once the give-way rules change on 25 March. 
Jami-Lee Ross 
: How many people have been reached by the public awareness campaign? 
Hon CHRIS TREMAIN 
: The public information campaign was launched on 15 March and will run for 17 days. It is estimated that TV ads will reach 90 to 95 percent of road users at least once and 80 to 85 percent of road users at least three times and that print radio and website advertising will reach at least 70 percent of road users. 
Jami-Lee Ross 
: What messages are being promoted by the campaign? 
Hon CHRIS TREMAIN 
: That is an excellent question. The advertising focuses on highlighting the date of the change and provides a simple overview of the new rules with the following key messages. At cross-intersections— 
Hon Trevor Mallard 
: Who wrote this rubbish? 
Hon CHRIS TREMAIN 
: You might want to listen to this Trevor so you do not get yourself into trouble. At cross-intersections if you are turning right give way. The second rule is at T-intersections “The top of the T goes before me.” Simple stuff Trev; even you should be able to understand that.

COLIN KING (National—Kaikoura) 
 to the  
Minister for Economic Development 
: What actions is the Government taking to drive business growth in New Zealand? 
Hon STEVEN JOYCE (Minister for Economic Development) 
: 
 For New Zealand to succeed and grow more strongly we need more and bigger companies that can successfully compete around the world. That is why the Government is focusing its actions across a number of inputs into businesses to help those businesses to become more competitive. For example in the innovation area the Government is investing significantly larger sums in science and research to help develop New Zealand’s knowledge base and is building an ultra-fast broadband network to change the way companies do business. In the export markets area the Government is working very hard to negotiate free-trade agreements to open up further new markets for exporters. It has set up a new agency to market international education on the country’s behalf and it is running a series of ministerial trade missions to help companies take their products to new markets. 
Colin King 
: What action is the Government taking to accelerate implementation of the business growth agenda? 
Hon STEVEN JOYCE 
: The Government is taking many actions including as it announced last week bringing various Government agencies closer together to assist in advancing our business growth agenda more quickly. Currently for example we have a number of smaller agencies spread across Government dealing with the issues faced by business. By merging a number of these agencies together into the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment we will achieve better coordination and better quality advice and give businesses one agency to talk to. By merging together this new agency will give the Government a greater ability to deal with important cross-agency problems such as innovation developing skilled workforces and lifting productivity and competitiveness.

TIM MACINDOE (National—Hamilton West) 
 to the  
Minister for Social Development 
: How will the current welfare reforms support the Government’s better public services programme? 
Hon PAULA BENNETT (Minister for Social Development) 
: 
 One of the 10 Better Public Services result areas is reducing long-term welfare dependency. The Government believes the investment we are making in welfare reforms will reduce welfare dependency by moving to a future liability model; changing how we support people into work and when we support people into work and work with different groups; making major changes to welfare system settings; and creating a new organisational structure to deliver these reforms. 
Tim Macindoe 
: What other result areas will welfare reforms contribute towards? 
Hon PAULA BENNETT 
: We expect welfare reforms will also contribute towards supporting vulnerable children by reducing child assaults and increasing participation in early childhood education; boosting skills and employment by helping to increase the proportion of 18-year-olds with a National Certificate of Education Achievement level 2 qualification or similar; and ensuring New Zealanders can complete their transactions with the Government easily in a digital environment by using an advanced version of our current payment card. 
Tim Macindoe 
: Has the payment card already led to efficiencies in the payment of benefits and other assistance? 
Hon PAULA BENNETT 
: Yes. Since November 2009 we have saved taxpayers $6.4 million in those 2 years by putting special-needs grants for food on to payment cards. This is from a combination of staff time administration costs and Crown savings. In addition it has also made it easier for retailers has given us better data on that spend has been more convenient for users meaning less time spent at Work and Income New Zealand and has freed up staff by saving up to 8 minutes per transaction. 
Jacinda Ardern 
: Can she assure the House that her Government’s value-for-money or public services programme will not lead to the closure or what she might call mergers of any Work and Income offices? 
Hon PAULA BENNETT 
: As the member would know we have picked up the Community Link programme which her own Government started and we have actually merged a whole lot more services into Community Link over the last 4 years anyway. We have seen the Inland Revenue Department housing and budgeting services the Salvation Army in some cases and different organisations actually merging into the same building as it is. It happened under her Government; it is happening under this one.

Hon JOHN BANKS (Leader—ACT) 
: 
 The ACT Party extends its heartfelt condolences to the people of Tonga following the sad death of their monarch King George Tupou V. King Tupou was a flag-bearer for democratic change and a loyal servant of his people. During my time as Mayor of Auckland I got to know the Tongan community very well. More than 50000 Tongan people live in New Zealand and they have made an immense contribution to our economy and to our culture. They are proud people proud of their nation and its heritage. We witnessed did we not the extent of their patriotism last year at the time of the Rugby World Cup. King Tupou was a proud Tongan and the Tongan people were proud of their King. The Tongan community will be grieving at this time and we want them to know that they are not alone.

[Sitting date: 20 March 2012. Volume:678;Page:1054. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First) 
: 
 King Siaosi Tupou was an unusually interesting and fascinating man frequently criticised by the outside media for his so-called foibles and extravagances despite such behaviour being common in other societies and yet being so subserviently admired. In short he came in for much criticism that was based in most cases on a feeling of superiority to the Tongan people and to him. 
But he was an exceptional man in the context of history for within 2 months of his predecessor’s death in 2006 Nuku’alofa was ablaze with riots. Eight Tongans lost their lives and many shops were ransacked. That was ascribed to the dawdling pace of democratic reform in Tonga. But the King delayed his coronation instead going for a mutual rebuilding which saw his cousin leading a commission for reform to Australia then to New Zealand and then on in the end to the United States to consult with the Tongan people about constitutional change. And tragically even then for the Tongan people his cousin was killed in a car accident in the United States. 
The fact is that the King gave up much of his monarchical power—a legacy that is far more important than most leaders will ever leave their country. So our condolences go out to his people and our best wishes go to his successor.

Hon PETER DUNNE (Leader—United Future) 
: 
 On behalf of United Future I want to join with other members who have spoken to express our condolences and sympathy to the Tongan royal family and to the people of Tonga throughout the world on the sudden unexpected death of King George Tupou V. 
His Majesty joins a great line of Tongan monarchs who have been revered by their people for the way in which they have served the interests of their country. In this he is no different from his late father or his much-beloved grandmother Queen Salote. But there was much more to King George Tupou than the idiosyncrasies of style and his personal eccentricities might have suggested. This was a man who within a short period of time of becoming his nation’s King instituted the most profound constitutional changes in his country’s history. Although at the time of his accession there were some who might have sneered at this rather strange-looking person who was assuming high office and fretted about the implications for his country His Majesty quickly proved them wrong and quickly proved that he could adapt to the circumstances confronting Tonga and work for the interests of his people. I think that is why within such a comparatively short period as the monarch he brought about such deep affection and such love from his people. He will be sorely missed. 
Tonga faces many challenges ahead. We wish his successor the same good fortune in his role but I am sure all New Zealanders would not only say to the people of Tonga today “We stand with you in your sorrow.” but also say “We stand by you as you seek to take your nation forward under the new leadership.” May the memory of King George Tupou V linger long and may he rest in peace. 
Motion agreed to.

METIRIA TUREI (Co-Leader—Green) 
: 
 The Green Party joins other MPs in this House in extending our condolences at this sad time to the people of Tonga both in the islands and here in Aotearoa and particularly to his whanau—the Queen Mother the King’s sister the Crown prince and the rest of the royal family—who are deeply saddened by this loss. It is a real tragedy for Tonga that it has lost its second monarch in the space of just 6 years so this is a very hard time for it. 
The King led a very interesting and unusual life and I think it is important to acknowledge and celebrate that as well. He will be remembered for guiding his country and supporting his country through a critical period of constitutional change ending 165 years of feudal rule and for his great passion for modern technologies. As a former pupil of King’s College in Auckland I think that he will be remembered by the Tongan community but also by all New Zealanders and those who knew him best for his colourful personality. Whether it was his taste for wearing a monocle and a top hat or for driving around Tonga in a black London taxi these were all parts of his character that led him to be so deeply loved by his people and they were parts of him I am sure that his community will celebrate even as they mourn his tragic and too early loss. The rugby-mad monarch he made an impression on the people who loved him. The sun of Tonga has set. May the prayers of the Tongan community be heard. Kia ora.

: 
 I will join with the Government and all the members of the House in conveying the sympathies and condolences of the Labour Party to the royal family and the people of Tonga on the death of King George Tupou V. He died aged just 63. It is a loss that I know is felt keenly right across the Pacific—obviously in Tonga and also by all those Tongans living in New Zealand as well. His legacy will be a proud and democratic Tonga. It is a legacy that has set his country on a new course. That is a legacy that any leader would be proud to lay claim to. His emphatic response to the scenes of anger that he was confronted with early in his reign will not be forgotten by history. He will be remembered as a leader who listened to his people. We have only to pick up a newspaper to see what a rare quality that can be sometimes in leaders right around the world. He must have been proud to witness Tonga’s first democratic elections in November 2010. 
The connection between our two countries—between New Zealand and Tonga—is very close and the close relationship between the King and the people here is exemplified by the fact that he had his early education here in New Zealand. It was also on display just a few months ago during the Rugby World Cup 2011. It was a game that involved Tonga that brought the tournament alive that first day. It was in a sense the King’s legacy that that closeness was in fact seen there on the rugby field. 
The King’s legacy I think is in some ways unfinished. It is a process a reform in progress that the next generation of leaders will have to pick up and continue. But today is a day to acknowledge the contribution of a leader to his country and to his people. Our thoughts and our prayers are with the people of Tonga in Tonga in New Zealand and around the world today.

Wagner Nicky: Questions for Oral Answer — Questions to Ministers

5. 
NICKY WAGNER (National—Christchurch Central) 
 to the  
Minister of Local Government 
: What steps is the Government taking to address the average national 7% per annum rate increase and the quadrupling of local government debt from $2 billion to $8 billion since the major reforms of 2002? 
Hon Dr NICK SMITH (Minister of Local Government) 
: 
 Yesterday the Prime Minister announced an eight-point programme of local government reform. This includes refocusing the purpose for councils introducing fiscal responsibility requirements stronger governance provisions and a streamlined process for council reorganisation. It includes a comprehensive work programme on the compliance costs for local government on infrastructure on development levies and on local regulations with important work being done by the Productivity Commission and also from the Auditor-General. I am confident that these better local government reforms will help slow the escalating rates bill that we have seen since 2002. 
Nicky Wagner 
: What response has the Minister received to the Better Local Government reform package from key sectors like Local Government New Zealand Business New Zealand Property Council New Zealand Federated Farmers or mayors councils or chief executives? 
Hon Dr NICK SMITH 
: The President of Local Government New Zealand Lawrence Yule says that the councils are broadly supportive of these proposals. Business New Zealand welcomes the reforms; it said that they were overdue and would be overwhelmingly positively received by business. Property Council New Zealand applauded the reforms and the overhaul of local government law and Federated Farmers said that these changes could not come soon enough. I have also received numerous positive responses from individual mayors and councils. Although there is a broad and diverse view across the sector the vast bulk of them realise that the sector needs to change with changing times. 
Nicky Wagner 
: What is the substantive change intended by the new purpose clause of the local government legislation and how does it differ from the 2002 and previous 1974 Act? 
Hon Dr NICK SMITH 
: The new clause makes plain that the role of councils is to provide that good quality infrastructure local public services and local regulatory roles at the least possible cost to households and businesses. Councils will have wide discretion within these in determining what infrastructure and public services are appropriate for their community. However it is not nearly as broad and open ended as the 2002 Act that let councils buy farms in Australia and let them run schools or hospitals or any number of services. I want to emphasise though that we are not intending to return to the quite prescriptive 1974 Act; our approach is balanced common-sense and provides the right framework for our councils to play their important role.

Browning Steffan: Search and Surveillance Bill — In Committee 
[Sitting date: 20 March 2012. Volume:678;Page:1120. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
STEFFAN BROWNING (Green) 
: 
 This bill the Search and Surveillance Bill has outrageous powers and many parts of it if it is to go ahead need to be withdrawn. I notice one of the Government members suggested that protesters would not be caught up in this bill. We have just had very very recently Lucy Lawless up the top of a ship and she has been charged with burglary. She would have been eligible under this bill to come totally under it in terms of search and surveillance. So would members of this House who have had something to do with Greenpeace in the past; so would members who have had something to do with her family her friends. They would all be open to the powers of this bill. 
It is good to see that false applications of this bill would be penalised. However failing to comply with an examination order or a production order as in clauses 165 and 166 would give an individual up to 1 year’s imprisonment and would give a body corporate—which I would imagine would be Greenpeace—something like a $40000 fine. If they did not give the password or whatever for their computers there would be potentially 3 months’ imprisonment if they were not compliant with that. 
This bill does go right down. We are talking about media here quite often but what about the non-governmental organisations which actually do hold this Government this Parliament to account on a continuous basis? The outrageous search powers also go to persons called in to assist whoever that might be. Does that also go to businesses such as Thompson and Clark Investigations Ltd the private investigators that Solid Energy and others would use on people like Greenpeace Lucy Lawless and other protesters? 
This bill needs to be biffed. It goes far too far. We have seen how the terrorism legislation was attempted to be used. This bill comes in to try to do the surveillance that was illegal. The Green Party can only oppose this bill when powers such as this go right into the core organisations and community organisations that try to keep this country free and democratic and that also look after the environment. So the Green Party will continue to oppose this bill as it stands.

Borrows Chester: Search and Surveillance Bill — In Committee 
[Sitting date: 20 March 2012. Volume:678;Page:1103. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
Hon CHESTER BORROWS (Associate Minister of Justice) 
: 
 Just in response to the points that have been made it is pertinent to note that where the genesis of this provision came from was the fact that technology had moved faster than the law had. So law enforcement agencies were able to draw on new abilities that were given by new technologies and they were using those in investigations where it was questionable as to whether or not there was the ability to do so. 
In response to the query raised in respect of declaratory orders the point has been made that they are advisory and I understand the point that the member has made. It is up to the courts to determine the impact of the  
Hamed  
decision in respect of that declaratory judgment and then in subsequent matters as they are raised before them case by case. 
As the member Charles Chauvel noted the declaratory order regime was recast from the residual warrant regime by the Justice and Electoral Committee when it considered the bill. I should note that declaratory orders do not give the police or any other enforcement officers new powers. However and I will come back to this in a moment the regime futureproofs the bill by enabling enforcement agencies to undertake investigation of a crime in the modern era while keeping pace with technological advancement which is a provision that has not been available in the past. 
Declaratory orders will be made ex parte—in other words as with application for warrants on the papers and without notice to another party—and there will be no adversarial process. The only respondent in a case involving declaratory orders would be the person against whom the proposed device or technique or procedure was going to be used. So by giving them the opportunity to speak obviously the police or the courts would be forewarning them of the interest and so would be stymying the whole need for the application for the declaratory judgment. 
As noted by the member declaratory orders are advisory in nature and can be made by either a District Court judge or a High Court judge. However they are persuasive. It is inappropriate that declaratory orders should be binding as at a later date a court will have the benefits of all the facts and the context in relation to the actual use of the device as used at an earlier stage. That is the point that was made by the honourable member Charles Chauvel. The declaratory order is around a hypothetical matter but the later subsequent court case will be about actual facts for which the courts will have to make their own decision albeit in light of the declaratory judgment made on the earlier application.
