Eagle PaulPAUL EAGLE (Labour—Rongotai): Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker. Look I was in a really positive mood until about three minutes ago. There's just so much here to discuss but first of all can I thank the Governance and Administration Committee—remember the kūmara doesn't talk about its own sweetness but as I'm a member of the committee I'll have to just talk a little bit about it. Well done to Governance and Administration but can I just reiterate the words of Minister Nash who spoke about the hard work that Minister Martin did in shepherding this piece of work through Cabinet.Hon Kris Faafoi: Hard-working Minister.PAUL EAGLE: Hard-working Minister. Look it's short and sharp and I think he's summed it up really well.I didn't know much about the restructure until the self-appointed fire officer for the Wairarapa none other than the Commander McAnulty" took me through some of the ins and outs of the outstanding piece of work here. It's so outstanding because it's so simple and that's what's being spoken about in the House this afternoon. For an organisation that has been serving Kiwis for 150 years and intends to do that for another 150-plus this is the right structure to move it forward.I was fortunate enough that when this came through it was the international volunteer firefighters' day not long after and I managed to visit the two fire stations within the electorate and two on the border and what I saw there was a whole lot of men and women who were absolutely literally pumping to serve and to educate—more than fight fires these days I found out. It's a little different to the role that some of them may have come into in the service or in Fire and Emergency New Zealand when they first started but now a big education component forms part of their role.The one aspect I'd like to talk about more is the exemption around those public museums art galleries and whare taonga because that's quite crucial. The example that Minister Nash used previously was around Te Papa and that lit my ears up to say "So what would the impact be?" For them it would have seen their levy go from $3 million to $4.5 million—that's a 50 percent increase. I'm really proud that with our creative capital arts hat on we were able to say "Look these are the sorts of things that will be exempt. These are the sorts of services that are important." But more than that these entities can't afford it and in the compromise there had obviously been some work undertaken to ensure that those entities were going to be exempted.I heard what the submitters said. They were certainly proud of the work that had been done. Can I just reinforce the previous speaker Brett Hudson before he got a little negative—but that's understandable on a Thursday afternoon. He was confused in what bill he was talking on.Kieran McAnulty: That's why he fell off his bike.PAUL EAGLE: He fell off the truck—the fire truck—maybe. Look they did come back with some slight amendments and some feedback on what had been proposed and that's made this all the better. Can I say this is really one of those bills that really shouldn't be here because it's just fixing something up but it is and it's going to do a great job. I commend this to the House. Kia ora."
