Williams PotoPOTO WILLIAMS (Labour—Christchurch East): Look I just want to take perhaps a short call on this because I do want to reinforce the argument I have been running all evening on this bill on whether we have actually got this bill right whether we have taken the opportunity to really craft the most appropriate and effective amendment that we can. I look at the departmental disclosure statement and see that there have been various people—I think this is the right departmental disclosure statement; is that right? Is that the same? Yes it is OK. So the Department of Corrections has been consulted and supports the draft of the bill but the following other agencies have been consulted on the draft bill: the Ministry of Justice Treasury Accident Compensation Corporation Crown Law Ministry of Education etc. etc. There is a whole list of agencies and organisations that have been consulted on the draft of the bill. Then I also see the proposed amendment in the name of the Minister replacing October" with "October 2016" in clause 7 which inserts new clause 1(2)(b) of Schedule 1. So even though this bill has been given some thorough scrutiny because we have come back to amend a couple of clauses even today at 5.34 p.m. we find another error. So Minister I would like to know whether you are completely satisfied that that this is the last error that you will find or whether we actually should take the time to scrutinise this properly—Clare Curran: Send it to a select committee.POTO WILLIAMS: Yes and as my colleague says perhaps we should send it to a select committee and actually do what we should do which is look at this piece of legislation to make sure we actually get it completely right.We have been arguing this point since we started this process earlier this afternoon and I am starting to be a little uncomfortable about what else we might uncover or we may pass this piece of legislation—in fact we probably will within the next hour or so. Unless we take the time to make sure that we get this absolutely right we will be committing yet another session of Parliament to correct an amendment on an amendment.So how many amendments do we have to make until we get this absolutely right? I cannot stress enough that the community—the public of New Zealand—wants us to get this absolutely right. We support this legislation but we want to make sure that the legislation is sound because of the impact it has on our children and the impact that it will have on the public of New Zealand's trust and confidence in the House of Parliament to actually write appropriate legislation. So Minister I would welcome your view on this. You have been very generous in providing answers to questions as we have gone through this process—and that is rightly so because obviously there are other matters that need to be corrected as we have been examining this legislation. I do want to thank you for providing this proposed amendment to the amendment—Sue Moroney: Ha ha! Amendment to the amendment.POTO WILLIAMS: Yes I know. This is a very serious matter. We could laugh about this—but this is very serious—that we cannot even get the date right when the two primary reasons that we are coming here are to ensure that we include the right people on the register and that it is retrospective to the correct date which is October 2016. So thank you for the amendment that you are proposing Minister. I would hope that this is the last change that we have to make but I am on behalf of the people of New Zealand starting to lose a bit of confidence that we have actually got it right. Thank you very much."
