Barry MaggieHon MAGGIE BARRY (National—North Shore): May I commend the previous speaker Duncan Webb on the brevity of his contribution. The Ombudsmen (Protection of Name) Amendment Bill is a ghastly piece of work I'd have to say. It is a problem that doesn't need to be solved. It is an extraordinary waste of Parliament's time. I don't really want to talk about it for any length of time. We oppose the bill. I did note that the member had googled or Wikipedia'd ombudsman". It is indeed Swedish but my Google search had it defined as "a grievance person" to investigate complaints against Government agencies.I can't recall a time when the popular talkback and social media was flooded with horror stories of the word "ombudsman" being misapplied to inappropriate people all the time. Perhaps I'm not listening to the right talkback shows. At a time when we have some hugely challenging issues in New Zealand around mental health—we have the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary. There are any number of important pieces of legislation that we could be spending House time on and yet we have this piece of work.We know that there is no real problem. We know that the penalty for the improper use of the name "ombudsman" doesn't even change through this bill; it's just kind of raising a flag. I think it is in fact in my eight years in this place the most useless piece of legislation that I've come across.I note with some interest—Hon Member: Year of delivery. Hon MAGGIE BARRY: —the year of non-delivery—that this is only the fourth all-new bill to be introduced to this House in the justice space following on from the waka-jumping bill the Electoral (Integrity) Amendment Bill. When we look across the House we see a Government that is not doing very much at all. They're still building on our legislation the select committee workload has ground to a halt there's very little that we can do or need to do because this Government has just not generated any legislation. Working groups—now that's another story. Naturally there has been a proliferation of those none of them called "ombudsman". Anyway the select committee work that we will have to put into this on the Governance and Administration Committee which thankfully I don't sit on—sorry about that Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi; I'm sure it's chaired well and deals with a number of fantastic issues that are important but—Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi: We have to suffer for it. Hon MAGGIE BARRY: —actually—they have to what? Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi: We have to suffer for it. Hon MAGGIE BARRY: You have to suffer for it; the member will have to suffer for this. No doubt the member will take a call on this not-at-all-important issue a little bit later on. Rushing it through why would you do this? I would urge the Government to spend its time developing legislation that will improve the lot of the vulnerable that will make New Zealand a better place to live in will grow the economy grow the jobs do the things that matter to New Zealand. This piece of work will not matter a jot to anyone in New Zealand except perhaps a couple of Ombudsmen and they have full protection anyway. So I do not commend this bill to the House nor do I support it in any way and I hope that the Government get on with doing some substantial work one of these days. Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker."
