Wall LouisaLOUISA WALL (Labour—Manurewa): Tēnā koe e Te Māngai o Te Whare. Ngā mihi ki a koutou katoa. I am really proud to speak in this the third reading of the Care and Support Worker (Pay Equity) Settlement Bill. I want to take the opportunity to acknowledge the partners to this settlement agreement and I am going to read them out—I do not think we have fully acknowledged who you all are. The parties are Her Majesty the Queen in right of New Zealand acting by and through the Director-General of Health as funder of district health boards and employers; the Accident Compensation Corporation as funder of employers; the district health boards as funders of employers; and the employee representatives which are E tū Inc. the New Zealand Public Service Association Te Pūkenga Here Tikanga Mahi Inc. and the New Zealand Nurses Organisation Inc. representing employees in association with the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions Te Kauae Kaimahi Inc. as an interested party.I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Health Committee and also the Minister of Health and the officials and the House because we stand united in support of this piece of legislation. I was just looking on the E tū website and one of the posters I saw said that E tū was standing up for justice and that is what we are doing today. We are standing up for justice.Who are care and support workers? I actually think we should define that—this is the third reading. They are from the careers.govt.nz website our Kaiāwhina Tapuhi/Kaimahi Atiwhai" and what do they do? They provide "assistance support and care to people in a variety of health welfare and community settings and in their homes." That is the definition of the people who will benefit from the legislation that we will pass very shortly.I just want in this third reading to reinforce what I said in my speech in the Committee stage and that is that under the good-faith clause which is clause 10 in the collective agreement it is going to be incumbent on the Director-General of Health as the funder of the district health boards and on the Accident Compensation Corporation and on the district health boards which fund the employers that in no way should employees be detrimentally affected by this piece of legislation and that no hours should be lost. Again I want to reiterate that Jan Logie's amendment was really an insurance policy but it is actually already in here and if that happens it is a breach of this agreement. I want us as a House to note that and acknowledge it and to ensure that if hours are cut then the appropriate action will be taking place against the employers that are contracted by those parties to this agreement. That is why I decided to highlight it.I have actually decided that I am not going to take my full call. Again I want to acknowledge the 55000 women and men—although I must admit that in the Bupa Hayman care and rest home that I attended I did not see any male care and support workers. But I know that they are out there and so this is for everybody who works in the profession. I want to thank them and acknowledge them for the wonderful work that they do.Really for me I am going to leave the last words of my contribution to an amazing woman called Kristine Bartlett. I would like to quote her: "This is a huge victory not just for me but for the thousands of care workers—not just today but for many years to come." Kia ora tātou."
