House of Representatives of New Zealand


Monday, 20 October 2014

The Fifty-first Parliament opened at 11.00 am on Monday, 20 October 2014 in the City of Wellington pursuant to a Proclamation, dated 8 October 2014, issued by His Excellency the Governor-General.

1 Commission for opening of Parliament

Mr David Baguley, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, announced the arrival of Her Majesty’s Commissioners. The Bar was raised and the Commissioners took their places at the head of the Table.

The Right Honourable Dame Sian Elias, Dame Grand Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, Chief Justice of New Zealand, the Chief Commissioner, said—

Members of the House of Representatives:

His Excellency the Governor-General not thinking fit to be present here this day in person, has been pleased, in relation to the opening of the Fifty First Parliament of New Zealand, to cause Letters Patent to be passed under the Seal of New Zealand, constituting us,

The Right Honourable Dame Sian Elias, Dame Grand Companion of The New Zealand Order of Merit, Chief Justice of New Zealand,

The Honourable Ellen Dolour France, President of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand, and

The Honourable Helen Diana Winkelmann, Chief High Court Judge of New Zealand

to be Her Majesty’s Commissioners to do all things in Her Majesty’s name necessary to be performed at the opening of this Parliament. This will more fully appear by the Letters Patent themselves which must now be read.

The Letters Patent were then read by the Clerk of the House of Representatives as follows:

JERRY MATEPARAE

Elizabeth The Second, by the Grace of God Queen of New Zealand and Her Other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith:

JOHN KEY

The Proclamation summoning Parliament was then read by the Chief Commissioner as follows:

JERRY MATEPARAE, Governor-General

A PROCLAMATION

Whereas, by Proclamation published on 14 August 2014, the Parliament of New Zealand was summoned to meet on 20 November 2014:

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General, and issued under the Seal of New Zealand, on 8 October 2014.

JOHN KEY, Prime Minister

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!


The Chief Commissioner then said—Members of the House of Representatives:

We have it in command from His Excellency the Governor-General to inform you that on 21 October 2014 at 10.30 am, His Excellency the Governor-General will declare to you in person the cause of his summoning this Parliament to meet.

But since it is necessary that a Speaker of the House of Representatives be first chosen, His Excellency requests that you, members of Parliament, now proceed to choose one of your members to fill that high and important office, and that having chosen that person, you present that person at 1.45 pm, today, 20 October 2014 at Government House at Wellington for His Excellency’s confirmation.

The Commissioners then withdrew.

A Commission from His Excellency the Governor-General to the Clerk of the House of Representatives, authorising her to administer the oath or affirmation required by law to be taken or made by members of the House was read as follows:

Prayers

1 Confirmation of election of Speaker

The Speaker reported that, accompanied by members, he had waited upon His Excellency the Governor-General at Parliament House yesterday, when he addressed His Excellency as follows:

May it please Your Excellency—

In obedience to Your Excellency’s request, the House of Representatives, in the exercise of its undoubted rights and privileges, has proceeded to the election of a Speaker, and, as the subject of its choice, I now present myself to you and submit myself for Your Excellency’s confirmation.

To which His Excellency replied as follows:Mr Speaker, it is with much pleasure that I approve the choice by the House of Representatives of you as its Speaker.

I congratulate you on your election to this distinguished office, marking as it does the appreciation of the House of Representatives of your impartiality and ability.

The Speaker reported further that he also addressed His Excellency as follows:I humbly thank Your Excellency for your confirmation of the choice by the House of Representatives of me to be its Speaker.

I have now, on behalf of the House, to lay claim to all its privileges, and especially to freedom of speech in debate, to free access to Your Excellency whenever occasion may require it, and to the most favourable construction being put on all its proceedings.

To which His Excellency replied as follows:Mr Speaker, I confirm all the rights and privileges of the House of Representatives which have ever been granted. I assure you that the House of Representatives shall always have ready access to me, and that I will at all times place the most favourable construction upon its proceedings.

The Speaker then expressed his desire to repeat his respectful acknowledgment to the House of the high honour it has done him in electing him to be its Speaker.

4 Death of former member

The Speaker informed the House of the death on 5 August 2014 of David Murray Hereora.

The Speaker expressed on behalf of the House the sense of loss sustained and sympathy with the relatives of the late former member, and members stood and observed a period of silence as a mark of respect to his memory.

5 Mihi

Hon Nanaia Mahuta, as a senior Māori member, gave a mihi.

6 Summons to attend His Excellency

Mr David Baguley, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, was admitted and delivered the following message from His Excellency the Governor-General:

Mr Speaker

His Excellency the Governor-General requests the immediate attendance of this honourable House in the Legislative Council Chamber.

Accordingly, the Speaker with the House went to attend His Excellency.

7 His Excellency’s speech

The House being returned, the Speaker reported that, when the House attended His Excellency the Governor-General this day in the Legislative Council Chamber, His Excellency was pleased to make a Speech, the text of which was handed to him by His Excellency.

He laid it on the Table and it states:Honourable Members of the House of Representatives.

E nga Mema Honore o te Whare Paremata o Aotearoa, tenei aku mihi mahana ki a koutou, tena koutou katoa.

Following the General Election, a National-led Government has been formed with a majority in the House on confidence and supply.

Confidence and supply agreements have been signed between the National Party and, respectively, the ACT Party and the United Future Party. A Relationship Accord and confidence and supply agreement has been signed with the Māori Party. These agreements will enable the Government to operate in an effective, stable and inclusive manner.

Honourable Members, the Government has a comprehensive policy agenda and a substantial legislative programme that it will put before the House in the forthcoming session.

The Government is focused on returning to surplus and its long-term fiscal objective remains to reduce net core Crown debt to 20 per cent of GDP by 2020. Around $1 billion of the operating allowance in each Budget will be used to increase spending, with the remainder set aside for tax reductions and further debt repayment, depending on economic and fiscal conditions at the time.

ACC levies will be reduced in 2015, and more reductions are expected from 2016, as the three levy accounts are now fully funded.


The Government’s plan to build a more productive and competitive economy, supporting more jobs and higher incomes, is set out in the Business Growth Agenda. This contains around 350 individual initiatives. These initiatives will be progressed, and more will be added, in this term of Parliament.

The Government will continue to pursue high-quality trade agreements, including negotiations with Korea and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, while ensuring that New Zealand’s best interests are always served. More investment will be made in New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, to expand the number of businesses it works with and increase its international footprint.

The Government will continue to provide the environment and incentives to increase business-led research and development, with a goal of raising this to 1 per cent of GDP by 2018. More funding will be provided for the R&D grant programme. The Government will also establish a Food Safety Science and Research Centre, as well as four additional Centres of Research Excellence, with one of the Centres focused on Maori research.

The Government will progress legislation to increase flexibility and fairness in the labour market, extend flexible working arrangements and improve collective bargaining. The enforcement of New Zealand’s minimum employment standards will be strengthened, and paid parental leave extended from 14 weeks to 18 weeks by 2016. Legislation to improve health and safety at work will be progressed.

The Government will complete the implementation of the Financial Markets Conduct Act, and will progress legislation to strengthen competition laws, and improve the accounting and audit industries.

The overhaul of Inland Revenue’s business systems and information technology will continue, which among other things will make tax compliance faster and easier for businesses.

Net migration to Australia has dropped considerably and the unemployment rate in New Zealand is lower than that across the Tasman. The Government will arrange job fairs for New Zealand employers in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, to recruit skilled expatriate New Zealanders to return home and work in areas where there are shortages.

Job fairs will complement the Government’s skills training programme here in New Zealand, which involves strengthening and improving foundation learning, vocational training and tertiary education. Additional investment will be made this term in training more engineers, creating 2,000 more places in Maori and Pasifika Trades Training, and launching three ICT Graduate Schools.

The Government will continue its programme of investment in modern infrastructure.

In this term of Parliament, a number of projects in the Roads of National Significance programme will be completed, including the Waterview Tunnel, the Tauranga Eastern Link and the Mackays to Peka Peka route north of Wellington. The Government will progress the remainder of the Roads of National Significance programme, together with a package of state highway projects in Auckland and across the regions. New funding will be allocated for urban cycleways.

The Ultra-Fast Broadband programme will be extended to reach 80 per cent of New Zealanders. In addition, $150 million will be set aside to improve mobile coverage and broadband connectivity in rural and remote areas.

Honourable Members, the Government believes that balanced and sensible management of our natural resources can meet environmental responsibilities while creating economic opportunities.

The Government will continue to encourage petroleum and mineral exploration while adhering to strong environmental and safety provisions. This approach includes investment in new data acquisition projects such as aeromagnetic surveys and petroleum basin analysis.

Investment in regional water infrastructure will continue, to help these projects get underway. New water storage and irrigation projects can make land more productive and boost exports, while at the same time providing positive environmental outcomes.


The Government is committed to improving water quality and the way fresh water is managed. Water reform will continue through advancing the recommendations of the Land and Water Forum. The Government will also introduce a requirement for dairy cattle to be excluded from waterways by 1 July 2017. Coupled with this, the Government has set aside $100 million to voluntarily buy and retire areas of selected farmland next to important waterways to create an environmental buffer.

Legislation will be introduced to amend the Resource Management Act to provide more certainty, timeliness and cost-effectiveness around resource allocation decisions. The Environmental Reporting Bill will also be progressed.

The Government will introduce legislation to improve the responsible use, management and conservation of New Zealand’s ocean environment. This legislation will allow for a wider range of marine protected areas, including recreational fishing parks in the Hauraki Gulf and Marlborough Sounds.

The Government will work with international partners to put in place a comprehensive new global agreement on climate change by the end of 2015. It will also continue to participate in international research programmes, with particular emphasis on the Global Research Alliance on agricultural greenhouse gases. The Government will invest additional funding to encourage and support new forest planting, and will continue to focus on managing New Zealand’s emissions.

Honourable Members, the Government will continue to deliver high-quality public services. It will remain focused on getting results, seeking new and better ways to deliver public services, and continuing to contain and reduce costs.

The Government has 10 priority goals and targets in the areas of long-term welfare dependency, supporting vulnerable children, boosting skills and employment, reducing crime and improving interaction with government. Good progress is being made on these targets, and two of them – in the areas of crime reduction and educational achievement – will be made more challenging.

The Government is committed to helping more people get off a benefit and into work. It will work to reduce the number of people receiving a benefit and reduce the lifetime costs of the welfare system. Legislation will be introduced to extend the Youth Service approach to 19-year-old sole parents, and to many other 18- and 19-year-old beneficiaries who need more support, or who are at risk of long-term welfare dependence.

As agreed with the Māori Party, ongoing investment will be made in Whānau Ora. The Government will continue to have a focus on poverty, especially child poverty, and will coordinate cross-government activity in this area through the Ministerial Committee on Poverty.

The Government will also have a focus on housing in this Parliamentary term.

More special housing areas will be created – and therefore more new housing developed – as a result of Housing Accords signed between the Government and local councils. Changes to the Resource Management Act will assist housing supply in the longer term.

The new KiwiSaver HomeStart Grant will be introduced next year to double the support a first home buyer can get if they are buying or building a new home, which will encourage the supply of more affordable new housing. House price limits around the country will be increased. Legislation will also be introduced to allow first home buyers to withdraw their KiwiSaver member tax credit to put towards a deposit. The Government’s extended home insulation scheme will make another 46,000 low-income households warmer and healthier.

The Government will continue working to ensure that vulnerable New Zealanders have access to good quality housing, whether those houses are owned by Housing New Zealand or by community housing providers. The Government sees community housing providers playing a greater role in the provision of social housing over this term of Parliament.


The Government will extend free doctors’ visits and prescriptions to children under 13. More will be invested in lifting the number of elective surgical procedures, particularly hip and knee operations, and in creating new, primary care multi-disciplinary teams to help people in pain from bone, muscle and joint conditions.

A new cancer treatment target will be introduced, for 90 per cent of patients to receive their first cancer treatment within 62 days of being referred by their GP. And the Government will invest extra funding to allow hospices to expand their care and services across the wider health system.

As agreed with the United Future Party, the implementation of the National Medicines Strategy will continue, including the enhanced role of pharmacists in medicines management and primary care.

The Government will extend the Enabling Good Lives approach so that disabled people have more choices, controls and flexibility over support and funding in their everyday lives.

The Government will this term implement its initiative to raise teaching quality and school leadership to deliver a better education to every student. This will keep the best teachers in the classroom, and establish new teaching and leadership roles to spread best practice across communities of schools.

The Government will also provide more in-class support to special needs students, by funding up to 800,000 more teacher aide hours each year. More funding will be supplied to support deaf and hearing-impaired children, and a contestable fund will be established for schools to establish or enhance Asian language programmes.

The Government will continue its work to lift participation rates in early childhood education, with a target of 98 per cent of new entrants in school having previously attended an early childhood centre. The Government also has a target of 85 per cent of 18-year-olds achieving a minimum of NCEA Level 2. Significant investment will be made in new schools and classrooms, including major projects in Auckland and Christchurch.

As agreed with the ACT Party, the Government will further develop the model, and expand the trial, of Partnership Schools to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students.

The Government will continue to focus on crime prevention. The crime rate is at a 35-year low, and violent crime, youth crime and re-offending are all declining. Across law and order agencies, a stronger response will be developed to prevent family violence, including a focus on gangs and gang lifestyles. The Government will progress legislation to address cyber-bullying, organised crime and online child abuse. It will progress the Parole Amendment Bill, introduce a Public Protection Order Bill, and intends to progress reform of the Privacy Act.

Every publicly managed prison will be made a working prison by 2017, so prisoners can take part in a 40-hour week of rehabilitation and reintegration activities. Specialist after-care will be delivered for those released or paroled prisoners who have undertaken a drug treatment programme while in prison.

Honourable Members, the Government recognises that Māori face unique opportunities and challenges in maximising their economic potential. This is reflected in the creation of a new ministerial portfolio of Maori Development. Reforms to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act will be progressed, so Maori land can be governed effectively and profitably for all its owners. The Government will also continue to resolve outstanding Treaty of Waitangi settlements, and intends for all willing iwi to have deeds of settlement by 2017.

Starting next year, New Zealand will take its place on the United Nations Security Council for a two-year term. This will be a challenging time for the Security Council and New Zealand is determined to make a positive contribution and in particular to represent the perspective of small states.

The Government is committed to a strong security and intelligence community which operates within a clear legal framework and with the security of New Zealanders at its heart.


Under legislation passed last year, a review of the intelligence and security agencies, their legislation, and their oversight, will commence by 30 June 2015.

The Government has already commenced work on a review of settings in relation to foreign terrorist fighters taking part in, or returning from, conflict zones. The rapid rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant poses international, regional and local risks which the Government will respond to in a responsible way.

As has been well-signalled, the Government will put a possible change of New Zealand’s flag to a public vote this term. There will be no presumption of change, but there will be a very open process which will welcome and encourage full public input and debate.

Honourable Members, the Government is continuing to stand beside the people of Canterbury as good progress is made on the earthquake rebuild. The rebuild will continue to occupy a great deal of Government attention in this term of Parliament. Big strides will be made this term on anchor projects and horizontal infrastructure. Next year, the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority will be brought into the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, and a transition plan developed to hand over CERA’s responsibilities and powers in an orderly way.

Honourable Members, over the course of the forthcoming Parliamentary session, other measures will be laid before you.

The Government is privileged to have won the trust and goodwill of New Zealanders for a third Parliamentary term, and will seek to re-earn that trust and goodwill every day over the next three years.

Ayes 1ACT New Zealand 1Noes 120New Zealand National 59; New Zealand Labour 32; Green Party 14; New Zealand First 12; Māori Party 2; United Future 1




The following amendment was put:After clause 21A, insert:

21AB New sections 42AB to 42AG inserted After section 42A, insert:

Infrastructure bonds42AB Purpose of infrastructure bonds The purpose of the infrastructure bonds in this Act is to enable territorial authorities to

recover through bonds repaid with targeted rates from those persons benefiting from infrastructure development a fair, equitable, and proportionate portion of the total cost of capital expenditure necessary to build that infrastructure.

42AC Infrastructure bond principles All persons exercising duties and functions under sections 42AB to 42AG must take

into account the following principles when preparing a funding and financial policy that includes infrastructure bonds or creating infrastructure bonds:(a) infrastructure bonds should only be used to finance infrastructure when the

territorial authority will provide or has provided new or additional assets or assets of increased capacity; and

(b) infrastructure bonds and targeted rates to recoup their cost should be determined in a manner that is generally consistent with the capacity life of the assets for which they are intended to be used and in a way that avoids over-recovery of costs allocated to infrastructure bonds; and

(c) cost allocations used to determine targeted rates to recoup the costs of infrastructure bonds should be determined according to, and be proportional to, the persons who will benefit from the assets to be provided (including the community as a whole) as well as those who create the need for those assets; and

(d) infrastructure bonds must be used—(i) for or towards the purpose of the activity or the group of activities for

which the bonds were issued; and(ii) for the benefit of the district or the part of the district for which targeted

rates will be required:(e) territorial authorities should make sufficient information available to demonstrate

what infrastructure bonds are being used for and why they are being used:(f) infrastructure bonds and targeted rates required should be predictable and be

consistent with the methodology and schedules of the territorial authority’s funding and financial policies under section 102:

(g) when issuing infrastructure bonds and calculating targeted rates, territorial authorities may group together multiple infrastructure projects, provided that—(i) the grouping is done in a manner that balances practical and administrative

efficiencies with considerations of fairness and equity(ii) grouping avoids grouping across an entire district for all infrastructure:

(h) when issuing infrastructure bonds the territorial must ensure that the targeted rates that would be required would not import an unreasonable burden on ratepayers and can be repaid within a reasonable period of time.

42AD InterpretationIn this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, —infrastructure bond means a bond issued by a territorial authority to finance a specific infrastructure project which will be repaid by targeted rates.

42AE Power to issue infrastructure bond and require targeted rates(1) A territorial authority may issue an infrastructure bond and require targeted rates to

repay that bond when—(a) a resource consent is granted under Part 6 for a development within its district:(b) a building consent is granted under the Building Act 2004 for building work

situated in its district (whether by the territorial authority or a building consent authority):



(c) an authorisation for a service connection is granted.(2) A territorial authority may only issue an infrastructure bond or requiring targeted

rates to be paid as provided for in a policy adopted under section 102(1) of the Local Government Act 2002.

(3) For the avoidance of doubt, the issuing of an infrastructure bond or requiring targeted rates to be paid under subsection (1)(a) or (1)(b), as is also the case for development contributions is not—(a) a condition of a resource consent that gives rise to any right of objection or

appeal; or(b) as the case may be, a matter that gives rise to any right to apply to the chief

executive for a determination under the Building Act 2004.(4) In this section, —

building consent authority means a person whose name is entered in the register referred to in section 273(1)(a) of the Building Act 2004chief executive has the meaning given to it in section 7 of the Building Act 2004.

42AF Basis on which targeted rates for infrastructure bonds may be required(1) Targeted rates may be required in relation to infrastructure bonds if the effect of the

development is to require new or additional assets or assets of increased capacity and, as a consequence, the territorial authority incurs capital expenditure to provide appropriately for—(a) reserves:(b) network infrastructure:(c) community infrastructure:

(2) This section does not prevent a territorial authority from requiring targeted rates that are used to pay, in full or in part, infrastructure bonds issued for capital expenditure incurred by the territorial authority in anticipation of development.

(3) In subsection (1), effect includes the cumulative effects that a development may have in combination with other developments.

42AG Limitations applying to requirement for development contribution(1) A territorial authority must not issue an infrastructure bond for a reserve, network

infrastructure, or community infrastructure if, and to the extent that—(a) it has, under section 108(2)(a), imposed a condition on a resource consent in

relation to the same development for the same purpose; or(b) the developer will fund or otherwise provide for the same reserve, network

infrastructure, or community infrastructure; or(c) the territorial authority has already required a development contribution or

infrastructure bond for the same purpose in respect of the same building work, whether on the granting of a building consent or a certificate of acceptance; or

(d) a third party has funded or provided, or undertaken to fund or provide, the same reserve, network infrastructure, or community infrastructure.

(2) This subpart does not prevent a territorial authority from accepting from a person, with that person’s agreement, additional contributions for reserves, network infrastructures, or community infrastructures.

(3) This section does not prevent a territorial authority from issuing an infrastructure bond if—(a) income is being used or will be used to meet a proportion of the capital costs of

the community facilities for which the development contribution will be used from the following:(i) rates; or

(ii) fees and charges; or(iii) interest and dividends from investments; or(iv) borrowings; or(v) proceeds from asset sales; or



(b) a person required to pay targeted rates is also a ratepayer in the territorial authority’s district or has paid or will pay fees or charges in respect of the facilities.

(4) Despite subsection (1)(c), a territorial authority may issue an infrastructure bond for the same purpose if the further bond is required to reflect an increase in the scale or intensity of the development since the original bond was issued.
