Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety): I'm happy to answer a few of the questions that have been asked there. I think the question asked by Mr Goldsmith in respect of new clause 65B and the question asked by Mr O'Connor in respect of new clause 65A come together somewhat, and I think I can prov...
In terms of access, under clause 68(2), to the best of my knowledge and my judgment, I think that the provisions there are pretty comprehensive and cover likely scenarios where there might be an issue to be considered about the appropriateness of access. And I do note that, at the select committee process, there were n...

CHAIRPERSON (Hon Jacqui Dean): Members, we come now to our final debate, which is on clauses 1 and 2, the title and commencement.
Clauses 1 and 2 Title and Commencement
SIMON O'CONNOR (National—Tāmaki): If we have completed the coda, now we are at the epilogue, and like a good epilogue, it's not too long. So the question really is: should we be calling this Act the Screen Industry Workers Act 2020? Well, of course we can't, because now we're in 2022. But the fundamental question is: c...
And a little bit as I touched on in the coda on Part 5, this is a fast-moving industry. I understand that there's been a bit of debate about when this should come into force, but it is a question of why we're now waiting three months. I'm sure there are some who are thinking it should take much, much longer; there are ...
Hon PAUL GOLDSMITH (National): People who have been tuning in to this debate will probably come to the conclusion that we on this side of the Chamber don't support this bill. And we don't support this bill—fundamentally because it is taking a situation that's working pretty well, an industry that's working well; it's c...
It's now supposed to come in three months after it gets its Royal assent—most of the provisions of the bill—and I've asked the Minister a number of times and he has dodged and dived and not answered this question: has he received correspondence from people in the sector pleading with him to delay the introduction of th...
So my suggestion would be that he heeds the calls from within the industry, which he hasn't yet acknowledged, and give it a good year's delay. If he insists upon passing this bill—we don't think he should; I think he should take a lesson from his friend and colleague the Hon David Parker and do a big U-turn. We would s...
Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety): Briefly, in response to the previous member, Paul Goldsmith, I'd just say that not everyone has the same irrational, bent-out-of-shape hatred of unions and collective bargaining that that member and his colleagues do, let alone the very people who make up ...
