Watts SimonSIMON WATTS (National—North Shore): Well thank you very much Madam Speaker. It was very difficult to listen to the last speaker Camilla Belich of what can only be described as virtue seeking in regards to the reality of what role we did when we were in Government which is ensuring that those people who wanted to work could work.In regards to this bill National will be opposing this bill. There's a couple of reasons why for that. But I want to start with something reasonably relevant and that is in regards to the elements that we do support within this aspect of the bill. These are the provisions to improve protection for workers against bullying and harassment freedom of association protections and setting clear standards for employment contracts. We do support those elements.However it is clear that this legislation will drive less flexibility in terms of our labour markets and will also in part strengthen the element and the power that the unions have. That is absolutely an issue for businesses across this country businesses across this country which are working day in day out to try and be productive and efficient under a huge burden of cost and regulation by a Labour Government that do not understand business—they would struggle to spell the word. That is the challenge that we have and the reality out there as we go round our communities in rural and provincial New Zealand in particular.This Government are out of touch. They do not understand what it means to run a business. They do not understand what it means in order to pay the bills. They do not understand around the issues in regards to protection around the worker elements in regards to dealing with the bullying and harassment that this element will cover. They are simply virtue seeking in terms of supporting the elements around the unionisation of this labour force. While important in regards to the overall context of supporting businesses we need to ensure that first and foremost we are supporting our business owners across this community and across this country to do what they need to do appropriately.So this bill is another example of more legislation and more regulation by a Government that seems to just like to ram through this type of stuff time and time again. The additional burden in which this will create additional cost and additional aspects in regards to this means only simply one thing for those businesses: more headache more stress when they should be focusing on how to make our country more productive and increase the economic growth.I think the reality of these amendments in terms of the film industry which I think is important to recognise is and has been and continues to be—less so probably in the last three years or so—a hugely successful sector across our country and an industry which brings into this country billions of dollars in revenue and creates tens of thousands of jobs. So the legislation that was put in place was to make sure that we are globally competitive in regards to this sector. It is a different sector in the way in which it operates because of the use of differing staffing models etc.But the reality is New Zealand is an absolutely excellent place for the film industry to make films to create that type of entertainment and New Zealand should be a gateway and a destination for these companies to be able to operate here. The challenge on the table once again is this Government who think they know better than all New Zealanders—and that's been coming through clearly in terms of where their narrative is at the moment—is that this type of legislation is going to make New Zealand less attractive in terms of a destination for this type of growth and industry. That will hit those provinces and those regions across this country probably harder than anywhere else. And that is a great shame in regards to this.But as we know no matter what we say this Government won't listen. They'll ram this through as they do because they know best—they know better than—Shanan Halbert: North Shore's a sunny place.SIMON WATTS: —hard-working Kiwis across this country. And I can hear the colleague from Northcote over there blurting out something but lacking detail as usual. But it is pretty clear that National will be opposing this bill and that's all we've got to say today.
