Volume:700;Page:19786. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]RINO TIRIKATENE (Labour - Te Tai Tonga):Tēnā koe Mr Chair. It is a pleasure to stand in support of this bill the Kaikōura (Te Tai o Marokura) Marine Management Bill. I want to make just a brief contribution on behalf of my whanaungas in Ngāti Kuri of Kaikōura. I would just like to put this on the record for the Committee; it is a mihi from my whanaungas.Tēnā koutou katoa. E ngā kārangatanga maha tēnei mātou e hari ana ki te mihi atu ki a koutou i runga tonu nei i ngā āhuatanga o te tika me te pono o tēnei kaupapa manaaki taonga ā-whenua ā-wai māori ā-wai tai. He kaupapa nui whakaharahara te mahi ngātahi tēnei iwi me ngā iwi katoa e nohonoho nei ki tō mātou takiwā. Hoi anō i runga i te peha o tōku tūpuna nōki te kori kia kori mai hoki koe ka whakatau i te kaupapa. Ko Tapuwae-o-Uenuku kei runga hei tītīreia mō te iwi. Ko Waiau Toa kei raro i hono ai ki tōna hoa ki te hauraro ko Waiau Uha. Ko Te Tai o Marokura te moana i ū mai ai a Tūte urutira kia tau mai ki tō Hineroko whenua i raro i Te Whata Kai a Rokohouia.

Ko Ngāti Kuri te hapu Ko Ngāi Tahu te iwi.[It is with delight that I extend this acknowledgment to you all the many callings with regard to the appropriateness and validity of this proposal of caring treasured inland fresh and coastal waterways. It is indeed a significant and marvellous scheme to work in unison with this tribe and all the tribes settled here in our tribal territory. Therefore we acknowledge the saying that was uttered by my ancestor: “The move is mine so it is you who must move in my direction to settle it.” Tapuae-o-Uenuku is indeed above as a chiefly comb for the people. Waiau Toa is below joining up with his partner Waiau Uha further down. Te Tai o Marokura is the ocean that Tūteurutira crossed over and came ashore at the land of Hineroko beneath the lofty food-gathering cliffs of Rokohouia. His cargo was people the brave warriors of Tānemoehau which serves as a lineage to this world. It is for us now to protect and care for the rivers valleys hillocks ridges mountains and broad braided rivers upon the lands of Kaikōura. Takahanga is the marae Maru Kaitātea is the ancestral house Ngāti Kurī is the kinship group and Ngāi Tahu is the tribe.]The question was put that the amendment set out on Supplementary Order Paper 481 in the name of the Hon Dr Nick Smith to clause 5C(1) be agreed to.Amendment agreed to.Parts 1 and 2 clauses 1 and 2 and schedules 1AA to 3 and 5 to 7 as amended agreed to.Bill reported with amendment.Report adopted.

Volume:700;Page:19765. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]MARK MITCHELL (National - Rodney):I will take just a short call on the Crimes (Match-fixing) Amendment Bill a very good bill. The previous speaker spoke about Shaun Johnson. I just want to mention the fact that of course Shaun Johnson is an Ōrewa College old boy from my electorate. So I just wanted to highlight that fact. We are all very proud of him obviously.I also wanted to mention—I see the Hon Trevor Mallard is in the House—Anton Cooper and Sam Gaze because he is a cyclist himself. I was the first secretary of the Rotorua Mountain Bike Club. We built a lot of the technical tracks up in the Redwoods there. I want to acknowledge those guys because all of our athletes are doing a fantastic job obviously in being ambassadors and representatives at the Commonwealth Games. But actually these two young men have put in an outstanding performance to take the gold and the silver in what is a very difficult and demanding sport. I wanted to acknowledge them.This is a very important bill. We have seen what has been happening recently. It has obviously been highlighted with what has been going on in the cricket world. It is very important that we have integrity within our sport.Louisa Wall: I forgot to say: “Go the Crusaders!”.MARK MITCHELL: Yeah exactly. Louisa was just saying: “Go the Crusaders!”. I do not know whether I can join her in that sentiment being from Auckland but anyway. It is our last New Zealand team so of course we will get behind them and give it heaps. Give it heaps guys.This bill will clarify that match fixing is a form of deception under section 240 of the Crimes Act—the offence of obtaining a benefit or causing a loss by deception. I was just talking with my colleague Alfred Ngaro and I notice that Kris Faafoi is opposite. We are all members of the Parliamentary Rugby Team. We have just watched the Football World Cup. Half those falls that they take—we do not really know what they are about. [Interruption] I think this is a really important part of the bill. Like I said I will take a very short call. I am very happy to recommend this bill to the House. Thank you.

I have waited until as near to the end of the House as possible without interrupting anyone. Some of us on this side are a little offended by the lowering of dress standards by a member in the House and I wonder whether you could refer to Speaker’s ruling 16/2 the requirement for members to dress in business attire and 16/4 around the wearing of hats. [Interruption]The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): Order! A point of order has been raised. If we look at Speaker’s ruling 16/4 there is no rule prohibiting a member wearing a hat.

I do not have notes about her concerns but they were broadly about how Labour has politicised the amalgamation process in Hawke’s Bay.Su’a William Sio: Did the Deputy Mayor Mrs Fay White say to her that the amalgamation issue could very well lose the election for National in the seat of Napier?Hon PAULA BENNETT: She certainly did identify that she felt it was an issue in the Hawke’s Bay. I made the point to her that I felt that her anger with the process was actually stopping Hawke’s Bay from thinking about the bigger picture of what it is as a region and how it moves forward.Su’a William Sio: Is it not true that Mrs Fay White was trying to warn her and her Government that pursuing a forced amalgamation agenda for local government would lead to National losing the Napier seat to Labour’s Mr Stuart Nash?Mr SPEAKER: In as far as there is ministerial responsibility the Hon Paula Bennett.Hon PAULA BENNETT: I reject completely that there is any forced amalgamation for Hawke’s Bay.

Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]11.Dr JIAN YANG (National)to the Minister of Consumer Affairs: What changes have recently come into force that strengthen financial service provider registration?Hon CRAIG FOSS (Minister of Consumer Affairs):This month a range of new measures to strengthen the financial service provider registration and dispute resolutions regime came into effect. We have made improvements to the financial service provider registration rules and we have introduced new powers to allow the Financial Markets Authority to block the registration of financial service providers if needed. These registration changes help to protect New Zealand’s international reputation as one of the best and most trusted places to do business. These changes are part of the recently passed Credit Contracts and Financial Services Reform Bill which brings in tougher laws to target loan sharks and help consumers New Zealanders make more informed decisions.Dr Jian Yang: What other changes were made to consumer credit contract legislation to ensure more informed borrowers and more responsible lenders?Hon CRAIG FOSS: We have improved protections for borrowers and targeted unscrupulous lending practices by first requiring lenders to comply with lender responsibility principles and requiring more timely and complete disclosure of loan terms so that consumers have the information they need to make informed decisions and strengthening repossession rules including prohibiting some essential household items such as beds and heaters from being repossessed and boosting enforcement powers and penalties to crack down on those lenders who breach the law. These changes are good for consumers they protect New Zealanders and meet the objectives outlined in the National Government’s Business Growth Agenda.

This declaration provides the overarching framework for any Government support. This includes more funding for the Northland Rural Support Trust which plays a coordination and emotional support role for farmers and growers. The Inland Revenue Department is offering tax flexibility and the Ministry of Social Development is providing Enhanced Taskforce Green to help with the clean-up.Mike Sabin: What impacts has the storm had on the primary sector in Northland?Hon NATHAN GUY: The storm impacted around 80 percent of the Northland primary sector. With spring calving already under way and avocados close to harvest the storm could not have come at a worse time. However farmers and growers are extremely resilient and the majority are coping well. The Northland community assisted by local MP Mike Sabin has done a great job of pulling together and supporting one another as they move into the recovery phase.

Volume:700;Page:19514. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]5.MELISSA LEE (National)to the Minister for Social Development: What recent reports has she received about the Government’s Youth Service initiative?Hon PAULA BENNETT (Minister for Social Development):Youth Service which is about reaching out early to young people on or at risk of going on a benefit and engaging them in education or training is already producing great results. The latest evaluation report shows that four out of five young people enrolled in Youth Service are now in education or training and 63 percent of 16 and 17-year-olds on the youth payment achieved National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) credits in their first year on the Youth Service compared with just 24 percent of young people who were on the old independent youth benefit. Fourteen percent of those on the youth payment achieved NCEA level 2 compared with 5 percent before the Youth Service. Achieving NCEA level 2 of course makes someone far more likely to be able to support themselves and be financially independent.Melissa Lee: What evidence has she seen that the Youth Service is working to stop young people becoming dependent on the benefit in the long term?Hon PAULA BENNETT: It is early days but I am pleased that we are already seeing a drop in the number of young people on the youth payment who go on to a main benefit when they turn 18. Seventy percent of young people on the youth payment did not go on to a main benefit when they turned 18 in the year to March 2014. These are young people who have often come from very difficult backgrounds. Wrapping support around them early and ensuring that they are not on a lifetime of welfare is what our Youth Service is all about.

Volume:700;Page:19513. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]4.BRENDAN HORAN (Independent)to the Minister of Finance: Is he still of the view that a Hamilton to Tauranga route would have to be considered alongside three other projects?Hon BILL ENGLISH (Minister of Finance):If the member is referring to some comments I made in the Waikato I told the Waikato Times it was the Government’s approach to give long-term commitment to the regions so they have the security of knowing that there is an infrastructure plan in place and that there is long-term funding to match those plans not just empty promises. I commented that we are doing a large building programme in Christchurch; Wellington will see Transmission Gully; in Auckland the largest project the Waterview Connection is well under way; and the Waikato Expressway is well under way. I also said that once we get through that programme which is some years away looking out to the mid-2020s is when you would get a debate about other large projects. I told the newspaper there is no detailed planning about that yet but it is good that people are thinking ahead.Brendan Horan: Why should anyone believe National Party talk of plans when 6 long years ago John Key promised to four-lane the Tauranga central link—3 short kilometres—and not one dollar has been spent to do that work?Hon BILL ENGLISH: I cannot comment in detail on that particular short piece of road but I must say as a regular and recent visitor to Tauranga that the scope of new road building in Tauranga is such that you start wondering whether it does not exceed the growth in traffic. Because of the lobbying of local members and because of some robust analysis there has been extensive expenditure in Tauranga. I am sure that if there is anything else there that warrants serious consideration it will get it through the New Zealand Transport Agency process.Brendan Horan: Has his Government not taken the people of Tauranga for granted for long enough and will he advise the Prime Minister to apologise to the people of Tauranga tomorrow for this Government’s failure to fulfil an election promise made 6 long years ago?Hon BILL ENGLISH: My colleague advises me that we said we would do it after the four roads of national significance were completed—four of them—and we are on track for that. I have noticed in Tauranga though that when the current member was elected energetic advocacy for Tauranga rose significantly. It had already been much improved after Bob was elected after the previous member and with Simon Bridges’ election it has improved even more and that accounts for the very substantial investment that is going on in Tauranga now. But for years before that the advocacy was pretty hopeless and not much money was spent there.

I take a very brief call to congratulate all of those involved with the Tūhoe Claims Settlement Bill and the Te Urewera Bill on all the work that has gone into it. I would like to acknowledge the chair of our Māori Affairs Committee Tau Henare for his amazing work and also my colleagues on the select committee. But most important I acknowledge all of those who have carried the great task that it has been for Tūhoe to reach this junction in our history. Over a hundred years of oppression having land confiscated—imagine what could have happened what Tūhoe could have done if that oppression had never taken place. Imagine where Tūhoe would be today. The key now is for Tūhoe leaders parents and whānau to demonstrate attributes that the children of Tūhoe will aspire to.I must mention Te Wharehou o Tūhoe in Tāneatua the living building and the magnificence and the promise that that building represents to Tūhoe and to the children of Tūhoe. This is an opportunity for Tūhoe to move ahead of mainstream New Zealand in teaching in digital literacies and in planned pathways for our children. I say “our children” because my children are Tūhoe. The opportunity is there and I look forward to the ensuing years to see the magnificent future that can evolve with deep-minded people with the correct intentions. So I salute Tūhoe for the battle that has been fought for the time that is yet to come and I honour all of those people who have passed before us to get to this point where we are today. Thank you. Kia ora.
