Goudie Sandra: Policing (Involvement in Local Authority Elections) Amendment Bill — First Reading Second Reading In Committee Third Reading 
[Sitting date: 22 June 2010. Volume:664;Page:12040. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
SANDRA GOUDIE (National—Coromandel) 
: 
 I am delighted to speak on the Policing (Involvement in Local Authority Elections) Amendment Bill. The objective of this bill is to remove the restrictions in the Policing Act to enable all police employees to stand for local council elections without being placed on leave. If elected they would not need to vacate their position as a police employee. This bill will ensure that police employees are not treated any differently from other State servants who are not prevented by legislation from standing for election and serving on local authorities. 
In response to some of the comments that have been made regardless of whether someone is a police officer a shopkeeper or a Government employee in another capacity if that person is not doing a good job as an elected representative of his or her community then the community will not elect that person next time. That is the discipline for anybody standing for council and it is no less so for someone who is employed as a police officer who stands for council. If the community feels that that person is just not working then that person will not be re-elected to the council but will be left in the police employee position. That is the way of elections for local authorities. It is that simple and I do not think it needs expedited examination as the previous speaker Clayton Cosgrove suggested. I think the legislation is too simple to waste the time of the House on when it can go through the House simply and easily. The bill just corrects one of those anomalies that we often come across in the course of looking at legislation. 
I am delighted to commend this bill to the House and to watch it proceed through its stages.

MELISSA LEE (National) 
: 
 It is a pleasure to rise to speak to the Policing (Involvement in Local Authority Elections) Amendment Bill. I will begin by declaring a certain fact: I like the police. I tremendously respect our men and women in blue for three reasons. Firstly I was involved with the Asian advisory to the Auckland police. Secondly I was a victim of a crime and the police came to the aid of me and my family. Thirdly I love the Minister of Police and she does a tremendous job. 
But aside from those reasons one needs certain standards to be a police officer —there are standards. One needs to be a good citizen over 18 years of age upon graduation from the police college community-minded fit healthy and bright enough to pass a range of assessments. I suppose police officers also need to be patient because they are involved in highly charged emotionally charged situations when they are arresting people. They must have excellent communication skills and they have to be loyal committed and have high levels of integrity. In their role they influence the lives of many people. So being able to make tough judgment calls as well as establishing strong personal relationships with the community networks that they have and confidence in the wider community is integral to the job they do. As well as responding to crime police officers have to look at the bigger picture. Solving crime is about not just answering the question as to who did it but also why. This requires an ability to understand the community that they serve and more important the ability to identify and examine the problem that leads to crime. 
Surely the skills that police officers possess are excellent skills for someone standing for a local authority. It seems ridiculous to me that at the moment police officers are unable to stand. Removing these restrictions can lead only to a better partnership between the police and local authorities. Furthermore a more ridiculous thing is that some police officers are able to do it yet some are not depending on when they became local authority members. I support this bill and I commend it to the House.

DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East) 
: 
 I am speaking in respect of the Civil Aviation (Cape Town Convention and Other Matters) Amendment Bill. Most members of the House have exercised the debate on this bill very fully today and it looks as though there is full support across the House and that is good to see. 
The bill amends domestic legislation and some company insolvency and statutory management legislation to enable New Zealand to take part in the convention known as the Cape Town Convention and associated protocols in respect of basic aircraft equipment—basically the Aircraft Protocol and the Cape Town Convention. Those two important documents then become part of our legislative framework in New Zealand. 
The bill amends the powers in the Civil Aviation Act in relation to the making of civil aviation rules. New Zealand’s use of the Cape Town Convention and the Aircraft Protocol will support an international legal regime regarding security interests in aircraft and potentially enable most aircraft operators to secure savings in funding and transaction costs in future aircraft acquisitions. 
This bill is important. It gives us some consistency with other countries and with international obligations. It enables some flexibility in terms of civil aviation rule-making to strike a balance between our international and domestic requirements so that we are more responsive to changes that may occur in the aviation sector. All parties look as though they are supporting the legislation so we thank them for their support and for the way that this bill has gone through the House today. I commend this bill to the House.

Hon STEVEN JOYCE (Minister of Transport) 
: 
 I move  
That the Civil Aviation (Cape Town Convention and Other Matters) Amendment Bill be now read a third time 
. In the first reading of this bill I advised that by accession to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment New Zealand will become part of an international system to protect commercial security interests in mobile aircraft equipment. Some 34 States and the European Union have already ratified or acceded to the convention and 31 States and the European Union to the protocol so it is clear there is global support for the regime. Likewise the New Zealand aviation sector and the financial sector have supported accession. It is worth repeating that the estimated financial savings over the next 6 years to the aviation industry including to Air New Zealand could range from $18 million for savings in export credit guarantees to a figure as high as $325 million in reduced financial charges. The benefits will continue into the foreseeable future. 
The Government is pleased to be able finally to bring these opportunities to the aviation industry. I appreciate the support given to this bill across the House and therefore to the Government’s intention to accede to the Cape Town Convention and the Aircraft Protocol by members on both sides of the House. Similarly members’ support of the amendments the bill makes to streamline the rule-making process will ensure that our rules do not lag behind developments in the aviation sector. I commend this bill to the House.

Hon STEVEN JOYCE (Minister of Transport) 
: 
 I thank Opposition members for their fulsome analysis of this Civil Aviation (Cape Town Convention and Other Matters) Bill. I think it is very important that it be analysed fully. I will offer a couple of matters in response. Firstly the declarations that were the subject of one of Darien Fenton’s requests are contained in the national interest analysis. They are all laid out there for the member and I refer her to them. 
In regard to—working alphabetically is I think the best way—clause 6— 
Hon Darren Hughes 
: That’s not alphabetically; that’s numerically. 
Hon STEVEN JOYCE 
: No clause 6 begins with “c”. The clauses are all alphabetical and they all begin with “c”. Therefore I can put them in whatever order I wish for that member. 
Hon Darren Hughes 
: He’s the Government’s numbers man! 
Hon STEVEN JOYCE 
: Clause 6—alphabetically and subsequently numerically—amends section 33 “Matters to be taken into account in making rules” of the Civil Aviation Act. It aligns section 33(2) with new section 34A and it states that the Minister is to consider those matters when recommending rule-making action to the Governor-General. 
Clause 7 concerns the procedures for making rules and the whole point of this exercise is to streamline and simplify the rule-making process. It provides some flexibility in terms of the notification requirements. Obviously that still has to be appropriate to the rule-making procedure. 
One of the issues we have in civil aviation is the very long time that it takes to make rules and we are trying to simplify the process and speed it up. In fact civil aviation is unlike other industries. The civil aviation industry in the general rules is looking to make civil aviation rules faster to match the International Civil Aviation Organization requirements. 
Clause 8—which Darren Hughes was concerned about with regard to the Governor-General and his unfettered and outrageous powers; I am paraphrasing the member a little bit—refers to the Governor-General making rules on the recommendation of the Minister. The Governor-General does not wander out and make rules on a daily basis to suit the Governor-General. 
Finally clause 12 does give the convention primacy over the relevant New Zealand law. The convention is consistent with and additional to the relevant New Zealand law. That is the point of clause 12. I think that covers most if not all of the matters raised by members opposite. 
The question was put that the amendments set out on Supplementary Order Paper 145 in the name of the Hon Steven Joyce be agreed to. 
Amendments agreed to. 
Parts 1 and 2 schedules 1 and 2 and clauses 1 to 3 as amended agreed to. 
Bill reported with amendment. 
Report adopted.

DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East) 
: 
 In the second reading of this Civil Aviation (Cape Town Convention and Other Matters) Amendment Bill I think we have strayed a little way off the track of what the bill is about but I think that shows the context—that everybody is fairly much in agreement and that there is not a great deal of debate about it. It is something that needs to be done and needs to be done quickly so that New Zealanders and the industry have the Cape Town Convention as a reality in the way that they do business in this area. 
The nature of this bill has been pretty well exposed by members as have some of the policy drivers behind it. We have also heard about some of the bill’s background such as the naming of the type of aircraft involved and what advantages this legislation hold. Some of those advantages are basically so that the security interests can be registered. We can have security as an investor in those kinds of instruments and we know that it will be internationally competitive. They will apply when one’s plane is travelling from country to country and when it is based in New Zealand. 
I think that it is important when we look at this bill to note that we rely heavily on the aviation industry as a trading country and a tourism destination but also as a manufacturing exporter. In Hamilton we have some very big manufacturing exporters of aviation products especially Pacific Aerospace Corporation which manufactures a lot of planes that are sold around the world. I am sure that those in the New Zealand aviation industry will be very comforted to know that the Government is working hard for them by delivering rules and regulations that will assist them in their work rather than having the rules and regulations that they have had in the past that have been detrimental to them carrying out their business. We look forward to this bill going through its further stages in the House and we thank the other parties for their support so far.

DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East) 
: 
 In following on from previous speakers in respect of the Civil Aviation (Cape Town Convention and Other Matters) Amendment Bill I say that everybody will be pretty much in unanimous agreement that when it comes to our transport sector—especially aviation which is such an international part of the transport sector—we want to have uniform rules that are consistent with other countries so that those who provide those services know they have some security. This bill will give security to those who hold financial security interests in the cross-border transactions involving planes and suchlike. It is an important thing for our international competitiveness for our international connections and for our international transport linkages. 
The fine Transport and Industrial Relations Committee with members from both sides of the House will take an active interest in this bill and make sure that everything is well advanced through this House. We want this process to be successful for all parties involved and for the country so we get those transport issues sorted in order to give security to everybody who will be needing it in the future for their investments. Thank you.

12. 
Dr KENNEDY GRAHAM (Green) 
 to the  
Minister of Foreign Affairs 
: Is the Government committed to ratifying promptly the amendment to the Rome Statute reflecting the resolution adopted by the States parties to the International Criminal Court at their review conference in Kampala on 11 June 2010 incorporating aggression as a justiciable crime? 
Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON (Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs) 
: 
 The Government supports the resolution adopted by the review conference. The aggression amendment itself provides that the court’s exercise of jurisdiction over the crime of aggression is subject to a decision to be taken by the States parties some time after 1 January 2017. The Government does not intend to ratify the amendment until after that decision has been taken. 
Dr Kennedy Graham 
: Is the Minister aware that the fact that the crime will not become justiciable until after that decision in January 2017 in no way precludes any of the Governments that participated in the adoption by consensus 2 weeks ago from ratifying it quickly before 2017? 
Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON 
: Yes I am aware of that. The Government wants to be sure that the court which is a very new institution is ready to assume the additional burden of the jurisdiction of the crime of aggression before it supports the activation of that jurisdiction. 
Dr Kennedy Graham 
: When that time comes will such adoption of aggression as a crime leave unaffected the primary responsibility of the Security Council for peace and security including determining that an act is an act of aggression or the right of veto held by the five permanent members? 
Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON 
: Yes I imagine so although the member is aware of the consensus that was reached on the way in which the jurisdiction is to be exercised. 
Dr Kennedy Graham 
: I seek the leave of the House to table the resolution adopted at Kampala—Resolution RC/Res.6 adopted on 11 June by the review conference. 
Mr SPEAKER 
: Leave is sought to table that document. Is there any objection? There is no objection. 
Document by leave laid on the Table of the House. 
Hon Maryan Street 
: Does the Government intend to encourage countries particularly Asian and Pacific countries that are currently not signatories to sign and ratify the Rome Statute and the amendment on crimes of aggression; if not why not? 
Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON 
: I have no direct knowledge of the matter the member has raised although I will say that the New Zealand Government is very pleased that consensus has been reached. Between now and 2017 I think it would make sense to tell other countries about it.

Hon LIANNE DALZIEL (Labour—Christchurch East) 
: 
 Not that I am used to having the last word on these matters but I thought I would refer the Committee to the fact that the Government released the discussion document on the Securities Act review yesterday. I am told it is 200 pages long. It seeks views on which financial products are to be regulated and how; tailoring of disclosure requirements to better suit a retail investor audience; improving governance of managed funds which are a key product for retail investors; and possible additional powers for the new financial markets authority. Submissions close on 20 August. I commend the Government for the release at last of the Securities Act review. I appreciate the Minister for Ethnic Affairs taking the time to respond to those questions; I think we are better informed and I think those who have raised concerns will now have some comfort that they have been addressed by the Government. 
The question was put that the amendments set out on Supplementary Order Paper 146 in the name of the Hon Simon Power be agreed to. 
Amendments agreed to. 
Parts 1 and 2 schedule and clauses 1 and 2 as amended agreed to. 
The Committee divided the bill into the Financial Advisers Amendment Bill (No 2) and the Financial Service Providers (Registration and Dispute Resolution) Amendment Bill pursuant to Supplementary Order Paper147. 
Bill reported with amendment.

Hon NATHAN GUY (Associate Minister of Transport) 
 on behalf of the  
Minister of Transport 
: I move  
That the Civil Aviation (Cape Town Convention and Other Matters) Amendment Bill be now read a first time. 
 On 24 March 2010 the Minister of Transport Steven Joyce announced that the Government had decided to accede to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment commonly known as the Cape Town Convention and to the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment commonly called the Aircraft Protocol. 
By taking this treaty action New Zealand will become part of an international system to protect commercial security interests in mobile aircraft equipment. Because mobile equipment such as aircraft move from one country to another international investors in or lessors of such equipment have historically had to rely on different national laws to protect their investments. Consequently financiers seek a premium on their lending as a hedge against the legal risks involved. 
The convention creates a set of international rules governing security interests in mobile equipment including an international securities register. The Aircraft Protocol modifies and supplements the convention to meet the particular needs of those involved in cross-border transactions applying to “aircraft objects” which include airframes aircraft engines and helicopters. The protocol provides the creditor with additional remedies including the deregistration and export of an aircraft. It also establishes a special insolvency regime in relation to aircraft objects to strengthen the creditor’s position against the debtor or the insolvency administrator. It is estimated that the financial savings over the next six years to the aviation industry including Air New Zealand could range from $18 million for savings in export credit guarantees to as much as a whopping $325 million in reduced finance charges. And of course the benefits will continue into the foreseeable future. 
Amendments to domestic legislation are necessary to ensure that it aligns with the Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol when they come into force in New Zealand. The bill amends the Civil Aviation Act 1990 to give the convention and the protocol the force of law in New Zealand to ensure that these instruments prevail over inconsistent domestic law and to require the Director of Civil Aviation to deregister an aircraft when required to do so by a creditor in accordance with the new processes set out in the Aircraft Protocol. The bill also amends several other Acts.

CHESTER BORROWS (National—Whanganui) 
: 
 I am very pleased to see that the Labour Party has been a little circumspect on the decision that it made some time ago and is now listening to Councillor Filipaina and the submissions that he has made. It is a shame that despite his politics in the past those members were not listening quite as well as they could have been and they did not take the opportunity to vote for a sterling amendment—that being the submitted Supplementary Order Paper 213 which would have allowed police officers to continue in that role at the time. However it is great that those members have now come to that position. 
It is interesting to note around the House the number of members who just from my knowledge have connections with the police. Of course we have the Minister of Police here who is the wife of a former policeman. We have the daughter of a policeman sitting over there—Jacinda Ardern—and a former Minister of Police the Hon George Hawkins also sitting there. We have the sister of two policemen sitting over here—Rahui Katene from the Maori Party. 
I think it is great to be able to acknowledge that people within the police bring a lot to the table just as each of us individually as members of Parliament brings something of our experience to the table in this House which contributes to a discussion and brings a different take on life. This is also the case in respect of the council table. The policemen who serve on local authorities around the country are up and about at 2 o’clock in the morning and they see the responsibilities of local people and the issues that they have to discuss around that council table. They have a different view from other people who quite rightly bring other experience to that table. 
I am pleased to see that we pretty much have across-the-board support for the Policing (Involvement in Local Authority Elections) Amendment Bill. I have never ever in my short time in Parliament seen the Greens support one pro-police bit of legislation in this House and I am sure as hell not surprised that they are not supporting this bill. But I am pleased that the rest of us are. Thank you.

CHESTER BORROWS (National—Whanganui) 
: 
 It is always gratifying to hear one’s words come back to one. I believe that I was the person in the first reading of this debate who told my friend who has just resumed his seat that yes the victims of sexual abuse and child abuse need to be supported and it has to come out of the taxpayers’ pocket. We do not care what bucket it comes from. That is a firm priority. 
But the point I want to make in respect of this bill is that it seeks to put victims at the heart of the justice system. I believe that victims are at the heart of the justice system but what we need to recognise as a community and as a civilised society is that some of the victims at the centre of the justice system are there as complainants as victims of crime and as witnesses and other victims of crime are in the court system as offenders. When we talk about abuse and when we talk particularly about sexual abuse and violence those victims can go on to become offenders. It is very very easy for some of our lobbying groups within this country to regard everyone as a victim up to a certain stage and as soon as their victimisation is shown in their own offending behaviour automatically all sympathy is chopped off. They become labelled as offenders and that is it. They are due absolutely no regard whatsoever and that is wrong. It is uncivilised to treat people in that way. 
This bill recognises that if people who are in prison and who have grievances against the prison system—whereas those grievances may well be upheld and may be compensated in some way—owe outstanding debt to society or to their own victims directly as the result of their own behaviour then they will not be able to access any financial compensation but they will still get regard in other ways in terms of redressing the wrongs that have been made against them. 
I am pleased to see that we have support from the other side of the House. I acknowledge that it was Labour when in Government that started the work on this bill. We look forward to the upcoming legislation that will replace it. But before I sit down I reiterate that if we are going to call ourselves a civilised society we need to recognise that the vast majority of people in our prison cells at the moment have been offended against in heinous ways and their resulting behaviour is to be expected. We need to show some understanding of that and treat them accordingly in the way they deserve to be treated.

Points of Order 
Holidays (Football World Cup) Amendment Bill—Copies for Members 
Hon TREVOR MALLARD (Labour—Hutt South) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I seek your indulgence in order to inform members that I have placed in their bill box a copy of the Holidays (Football World Cup) Amendment Bill. It is not my intention to proceed with it for another 24 hours in order to give people an opportunity to give feedback. Currently the bill would grant a public holiday on Friday contingent on the All Whites winning. 
Hon GERRY BROWNLEE (Leader of the House) 
: 
 How on earth was that a point of order? 
Mr SPEAKER 
: I have to confess that I am not sure but the member got away with it.

SANDRA GOUDIE (National—Coromandel) 
 to the  
Minister of Corrections 
: What progress is the Government making on its commitment to increase the number of prisoners receiving drug and alcohol treatment? 
Hon JUDITH COLLINS (Minister of Corrections) 
: 
 I am very pleased to report that tomorrow I will be officially opening the first of three new drug treatment units in our country’s prisons. The new unit at the Otago Corrections Facility shows that we are delivering on our promise to double the number of prisoners receiving drug and alcohol treatment from 500 to 1000. Two further units at the Wanganui and Auckland prisons will be completed by 2011. They will bring the number of drug treatment units up to nine. 
Sandra Goudie 
: Why is the Government committed to increasing the availability of drug and alcohol treatment places? 
Hon JUDITH COLLINS 
: The Department of Corrections is now managing an all-time high muster of 8746 prisoners in addition to more than 45000 offenders serving community-based sentences and orders. We know that drugs and alcohol are major drivers of crime in New Zealand and that two-thirds of our prisoners enter jail with drug and alcohol problems. Breaking the cycle of drug and alcohol offending is crucial if we want to reduce the number of people behind bars.

Civil Aviation (Cape Town Convention and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 
First Reading 
Hon NATHAN GUY (Associate Minister of Transport) 
 on behalf of the  
Minister of Transport 
: I move  
That the Civil Aviation (Cape Town Convention and Other Matters) Amendment Bill be now read a first time. 
 On 24 March 2010 the Minister of Transport Steven Joyce announced that the Government had decided to accede to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment commonly known as the Cape Town Convention and to the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment commonly called the Aircraft Protocol. 
By taking this treaty action New Zealand will become part of an international system to protect commercial security interests in mobile aircraft equipment. Because mobile equipment such as aircraft move from one country to another international investors in or lessors of such equipment have historically had to rely on different national laws to protect their investments. Consequently financiers seek a premium on their lending as a hedge against the legal risks involved. 
The convention creates a set of international rules governing security interests in mobile equipment including an international securities register. The Aircraft Protocol modifies and supplements the convention to meet the particular needs of those involved in cross-border transactions applying to “aircraft objects” which include airframes aircraft engines and helicopters. The protocol provides the creditor with additional remedies including the deregistration and export of an aircraft. It also establishes a special insolvency regime in relation to aircraft objects to strengthen the creditor’s position against the debtor or the insolvency administrator. It is estimated that the financial savings over the next six years to the aviation industry including Air New Zealand could range from $18 million for savings in export credit guarantees to as much as a whopping $325 million in reduced finance charges. And of course the benefits will continue into the foreseeable future. 
Amendments to domestic legislation are necessary to ensure that it aligns with the Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol when they come into force in New Zealand. The bill amends the Civil Aviation Act 1990 to give the convention and the protocol the force of law in New Zealand to ensure that these instruments prevail over inconsistent domestic law and to require the Director of Civil Aviation to deregister an aircraft when required to do so by a creditor in accordance with the new processes set out in the Aircraft Protocol. The bill also amends several other Acts. 
Debate interrupted. 
Sitting suspended from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

[Sitting date: 22 June 2010. Volume:664;Page:12086. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
CHESTER BORROWS (National—Whanganui) 
: 
 It is good to come to the third reading of the Prisoners’ and Victims’ Claims (Expiry and Application Dates) Amendment Bill and to see it progress. I was pleased to hear the member who has just resumed his seat the Hon Clayton Cosgrove say that there is not a lot of politics in the bill; I thought he actually beat quite a bit of politics out of it. 
I am pleased that the bill will progress through the House tonight and that people will be in a better situation as a result of it. I am disappointed that it is only interim legislation until another bill comes in to fix the problem on a permanent basis. I am very sorry that although the Prisoners’ and Victims’ Claims Act 2005 could have been fixed before 2008 it was not. It is one of this Government’s priorities to deal with it. This bill is one of a number of very worthy bills that address the range of issues affecting victims offenders and their behaviours in our communities. 
I look forward to the bill being passed and I commend it to the House.

 E nga mana e nga reo e nga rangatira ma tena koutou tena koutou tena koutou katoa. 
Sitting suspended from 6 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. 
Dr CAM CALDER 
: I acknowledge the work done by my colleague Te Ururoa Flavell on the Public Works (Offer Back of and Compensation for Acquired Land) Amendment Bill. I have had the privilege of sitting on the Local Government and Environment Committee which heard submissions on this bill under the exemplary chairmanship of Mr Auchinvole. We heard many submissions from airports ports and public utilities. It became apparent that there were many possible complications and unintended consequences of the bill which is the reason that National is opposing it. 
Some of these concerns and complications follow; my colleague Te Ururoa Flavell has himself acknowledged them in the select committee. These were unintended and became more obvious as the complexity of the legislation and the situation became apparent from the many submitters. The bill in its present form creates too many complications to be workable. It would require strict definitions of “original owner” “descendant” and “original public work” to name a few. These definitions could be in conflict with other legislation and interpretation could be difficult. It would probably require every Crown agency local authority State-owned enterprise and Crown research institute to make an assessment of all land they hold to see whether it may be affected which of course would be a very costly and time-consuming exercise. It is more efficient and cost-effective to use land already in Crown ownership or local authority ownership for new public works rather than acquiring more public land. 
I do not wish to speak at length on this bill. I acknowledge my colleague’s work on this but National will not be supporting it. Thank you.
