As I told the House yesterday, Speaker\u2019s ruling 142/3 makes it clear that anyone giving inaccurate information to the House should clear up the error as soon as he or she realises it has occurred. That obligation applies even though the member may not have all the information needed to clear the matter up fully at the time the error is appreciated. It is still incumbent on the member to take the first opportunity to acknowledge the error, with a promise of a full correction in due course. It is not sufficient for a Minister to acknowledge an error only in answering further questions. Where there is an error the Minister should lodge with the Clerk a further reply, indicating that it is believed that there are errors in identified replies and promising to lodge fully corrected replies in due course. I expect all Ministers to follow that course.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n    \u003C/div\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022HpsHansard\u0022\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000013\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsProceedingHeading\u0022 id=\u00228c6f979fd6ee42f98f739dc722a1a368\u0022\u003EPersonal Explanations\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000014\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsSubjectHeading\u0022 id=\u002247e03bdfa072493fa530738b6425889a\u0022\u003EReplies to Questions for Written Answer\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ca name=\u0022member\u0022 data-type=\u0022article\u0022 data-memberid=\u0022d52e59e3-2195-4c95-a654-665c11b39b63\u0022 data-id=\u0022a23e53e26c3f47ef8271596be45ba5dd\u0022\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000015\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022d52e59e3-2195-4c95-a654-665c11b39b63\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsByToc\u0022 id=\u0022a23e53e26c3f47ef8271596be45ba5dd\u0022\u003EHon PAREKURA HOROMIA (Minister of M\u0101ori Affairs):\u003C/span\u003E I seek the leave of the House to make a personal explanation under Standing Order 343.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ca name=\u0022member\u0022 data-type=\u0022article\u0022 data-memberid=\u00228a87c178-9f60-439e-aa9b-0f1336c37ea9\u0022 data-id=\u0022cf6055b44b2c4d4b996f1d60d992f2af\u0022\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000016\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00228a87c178-9f60-439e-aa9b-0f1336c37ea9\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsByToc\u0022 id=\u0022cf6055b44b2c4d4b996f1d60d992f2af\u0022\u003EHon ROGER SOWRY (Deputy Leader\u2014NZ National):\u003C/span\u003E I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker.

I ask you, Mr Speaker, to consider granting the ACT party an extra two questions\u2014or at least one\u2014to compensate for having to burn them up in that way.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000263\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022014651a1-9604-485f-a1d1-4f752fff8c59\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsBy\u0022 id=\u002218fbe3966d614e7d988370bb7b07df48\u0022\u003EMr SPEAKER\u003C/span\u003E: No, the member can seek leave, and I presume he is doing that\u2014\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000264\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022bc1e9f65-e08b-4939-867c-22ef093e2a4e\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsBy\u0022 id=\u0022470ebc6a61034b49aee796bda75735bf\u0022\u003ERodney Hide\u003C/span\u003E: No, I am not.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000265\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022014651a1-9604-485f-a1d1-4f752fff8c59\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsBy\u0022 id=\u0022a25590b6ec824edca9d00a723deac9ba\u0022\u003EMr SPEAKER\u003C/span\u003E: No\u2014well I am not granting it.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000266\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u002204ed8007-24ee-45fb-ab8e-8573da79b238\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsBy\u0022 id=\u00224f2cfc628f614911a7c843e098963e42\u0022\u003EMarc Alexander\u003C/span\u003E: Is the availability of treatment programmes a primary consideration in deciding where to incarcerate convicted sex offenders; if not, why not?\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000267\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022c699e7c6-53b9-470c-a14a-378cb6fc8a04\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsBy\u0022 id=\u00223226ca0d18c242daa39d01e3313a95a1\u0022\u003EHon PHIL GOFF\u003C/span\u003E: If it is deemed that a sex offender in prison would benefit from a course such as Kia Marama or Te Piriti, then that offender will be transferred to a prison that can make those services available.

It is a question that is puzzling pharmacists around New Zealand\u2014namely, what exactly is the Government\u2019s strategy for the pharmacy sector in New Zealand? Does the Government have a hidden agenda to decimate and ultimately do away with community-based rural and suburban pharmacies in New Zealand? Will we find that a legacy of this Government is that the local community pharmacy has become a thing of the past, just as local post offices and banks have become under a previous Labour Government? That is certainly how it is looking. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000343\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022eaaad191-62cf-43e8-a772-63a71dbf4d4a\u0022\u003EI can assure the Minister that pharmacists around the country are angry and confused at what they perceive to be a sustained attack on their sector and, indeed, on their professionalism under this Government. First there was the attempt to deregulate pharmacies so that multinational chains and supermarkets could take over community pharmacies. The Green Party was instrumental in defeating that proposal, but we are still concerned at the loose wording in the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Bill, and we are suspicious of the Minister\u2019s intentions with regard to pharmacy ownership. Then there was the 18-month delay in signing the pharmacy contract, which caused huge distress and anxiety in the sector. But then, just as pharmacists were celebrating that they had finally negotiated a new contract, came the news that Pharmac is now proposing to switch to bulk dispensing\u2014a proposal that was developed in secret without any consultation with the pharmacy sector, despite the fact that it will wipe an estimated $70 million off the sector, reduce pharmacy income by about a third, and inevitably result in closures of small community-based pharmacies all around New Zealand. The Pharmacy Guild of New Zealand estimates that more than 200 pharmacies will be closed, if the proposal is implemented, and that 1,500 pharmacy staff will be laid off. Small neighbourhood chemists who rely on dispensing for the bulk of their income will be the hardest hit. They could lose about two-thirds of their business under the proposal. I want to know what the Government will do if the guild is correct and hundreds of small rural and suburban pharmacies close around New Zealand. Thus far the Minister has refused to answer that question. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000344\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022eaaad191-62cf-43e8-a772-63a71dbf4d4a\u0022\u003EI will not spend much time on the merits of the proposal, except to say that in our view it is short-sighted and hugely flawed. It will result in great wastage of medicine, reduced compliance, significant increases in inappropriate and incorrect dispensing, overdoses, misuse of medicines, and, inevitably, increased hospitalisation. The proposal stipulates that cheap medicines under $17 will be dispensed 3-monthly, not for health and safety or clinical reasons, but simply for financial reasons\u2014to save money. In our view, the way in which medicines should be dispensed is a decision to be made by doctors in conjunction with patients and pharmacists, based on clinical and safety, not financial, reasons. The Minister claims that consumers will benefit from this proposal. What she has not told the public is that many people will find that their drugs will cost a lot more under the proposal, because if general practitioners believe that a drug on the 3-monthly list should be prescribed 1-monthly to protect their patients\u2019 safety, then both the patients and the pharmacists will lose their subsidy on those medicines and the price of those drugs will skyrocket.

The Green Party has obtained leaked confidential papers that reveal that Pharmac has already made up its mind and is determined to proceed, no matter what. It has developed a series of public relations and legal strategies to counter oppositions to its strategy, and an implementation plan for the switch to 3-monthly dispensing. The interesting thing is that those detailed strategies were drawn up before Pharmac had even announced the proposal, let alone begun to consult on it. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000346\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022eaaad191-62cf-43e8-a772-63a71dbf4d4a\u0022\u003EThe Green Party wants to know why the Minister is not stepping into what has become a major dispute and why she is not looking at the wider implications for the entire sector.

He states: \u201CI find this kind of social engineering objectionable, and so will many people who believe our laws should reflect common sense.\u201D That is just nonsense. I would have expected quite a bit more of the Leader of the Opposition. It just shows how desperate he is becoming to get a headline. The bill says no such thing. The amendments in respect of the policy issue are to be found in the legislation amending the Status of Children Act, which provides that in the case of a child born of an assisted human reproduction procedure undertaken with the partner\u2019s consent, the same-sex partner of a women has the status of parent, as does the opposite sex partner under the current law.

It was going to be Brash and Power. The problem is that the boys got to Dr Brash, and it became Brash and Brownlee\u2014members know; a sort of B B King of Brash and Brownlee. Then the caucus realised that that was not a winner, and now its members are talking to Winston Peters. We know that. I think that Mr Peters is a bit smarter than that. He has been there and done that, and he knows that the National Party is on the back foot. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000386\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f9c512a8-d532-4ef9-ad51-0fe8d752a893\u0022\u003EI have an interesting quote here from Mr English, from a speech he gave at the M\u0101ori sports awards in Ngaruawahia on 3 November, when he said National was the Opposition and it could say anything. Is that not a true statement? Is that not true? National has no policy and no leadership, and it says anything. Let us take the Budget debate. Mr English accused\u2014I said at the time that I never thought I would hear a Tory leader accuse a Labour Government of being too tight fiscally\u2014Dr Cullen of being too tight, while Dr Brash said he thought Dr Cullen had basically done the right thing and we should not be spending any more money.

National sold it, we have bought back the track, and, when challenged by the Minister of Transport as to whether National would will sell it off again if it gets into Government, Mr Sowry\u2014the Al Bundy of Otaki; a decisive member of Parliament\u2014said National would wait and see. He was really saying that he knows that if he and the National Party came out with National\u2019s true asset-sales policy now, which is to sell them all off\u2014to sell Air New Zealand, sell Tranz Rail, knock off the Accident Compensation Corporation, and knock off the hospitals\u2014National\u2019s 21 percent in the polls would then become 2.1 percent.

Dr Smith\u2019s colleagues in the National Party strongly refute and deny both those allegations. Dr Smith was faced with an interesting situation whereby constituents in his electorate went to his office and asked for his assistance. Those constituents had been to their own member of Parliament\u2014the southern M\u0101ori member\u2014and had had no satisfaction from that person. Over a period of time those constituents had written some five letters to Government and State officials asking for assistance and had had no satisfaction.

He began a crusade, in the proper way, to get attention given to their circumstances and to try to get some sort of inquiry into how those honest, hardworking parents, who are doing a good job of bringing up their other three children, can have one of their children taken off them by the Family Court without their knowledge. That does not seem to me to be an unreasonable step for a professional politician to take in his advocacy for his constituents. Any suggestion that Dr Smith breached the provisions of the Guardianship Act are a nonsense. Dr Smith did not release the names of the people involved. Dr Smith did not release details of proceedings. Dr Smith did not make any allegations about any party involved in this circumstance. Indeed, after Dr Smith had spoken in an interview about some constituents of his, and after he had put out a press release outlining the appalling facts in this case in a very general way, the Principal Family Court Judge, Judge Mahoney, phoned Dr Smith\u2019s office and asked for the name of the family in order that he might investigate the circumstances of that case. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000410\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022e6b4dc55-3561-49a8-a871-ae005354ef90\u0022\u003EI suggest to the House and to the Solicitor-General that if Dr Smith had breached the requirements of the Guardianship Act, or in fact had acted in some contempt of the court, then Judge Mahoney would have been under no doubt as to who he was talking about and what the case was about. In fact, he had to make that phone call to find out about that very circumstance. Then he went one step further and got involved in a radio interview, where anybody can see he most certainly was talking about the proceedings before the court and the specific family that had been named in the television programme. At the heart of all this is the threat that that letter poses to all MPs who decide to go out and take on a difficult case for their constituents. The right of free speech in this country is precious, and the right of privilege to speak freely in this House is precious, and it concerns me that, in the 7 years I have been here, the courts appear to be slowly encroaching upon both those rights, with some stealth. This whole circumstance is very unfortunate. We certainly do not want to see a situation developing where Parliament, through its Privileges Committee, is at direct loggerheads with the judiciary, but with the way we are going, that looks like the way it will spin out.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ca name=\u0022member\u0022 data-type=\u0022article\u0022 data-memberid=\u00226de7f1d9-7be9-468a-b27c-06000416b96a\u0022 data-id=\u0022e7090605dcbf4e1c822c04ec9fe7f3cf\u0022\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000411\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00226de7f1d9-7be9-468a-b27c-06000416b96a\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsByToc\u0022 id=\u0022e7090605dcbf4e1c822c04ec9fe7f3cf\u0022\u003EHon JOHN TAMIHERE (Minister of Youth Affairs):\u003C/span\u003E Unlike the front-row prop for the National Party, I will not be asking to be heard in silence.

We have increased levels of national superannuation, affordable rents, and the availability of State housing to low-income tenants, and we have improved access to tertiary education and health.

They are fundamental to the democratic process, yet the New Zealand Family Court operates like a Star Chamber. It puts gagging orders on all the people involved. Victims are not allowed to talk about their experience. The media cannot report on the cases\u2014they all fear criminal convictions or being thrown in jail. We even have a member of this House right now who was threatened by those same things, simply because he wanted to talk about a family who was a victim of the Family Court. I say that that is an absolute disgrace. There is a long established principle that justice is not done unless it is seen to be done. New Zealand needs an open Family Court. We need proper media and public scrutiny of what goes on in that court, while protecting the identity of individuals, just like in Australia. In Australia, there would not be the debacle of a case that is in and out of the courts. I refer to a matrimonial property dispute that started 7 years ago in the Family Court. It has been to the High Court and the Court of Appeal a number of times, then back to the Family Court. There have been 53 hearings altogether over that case, which has been going on for 7 years. The personal cost to the family involved is over $1 million, and the cost to the taxpayer will be several million dollars. If that case had been open to proper scrutiny, I believe that it certainly would have been sorted out many, many years ago.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000423\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022b62240ad-adda-430d-887a-8f999ef4bbc4\u0022\u003E There is also the case of the custodial parent who lost his children to the mother who wanted to go and live in a caravan in Ireland, taking the three young children away from their dad, away from the grandparents, away from everyone they knew, to go to the other side of the world. That was an absolutely amazing judgment. Again, this is a family that is torn apart. They cannot speak about it openly, and I say it is a disgrace. Another case is of the father who had an ex parte protection order slapped on him for his new baby. He did not get to see that child until the child was almost a year old, and when he finally had his day in court he found that the allegation was false. It was thrown out, and meanwhile, that dad had lost all those important years with his child. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000424\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022b62240ad-adda-430d-887a-8f999ef4bbc4\u0022\u003EIf countries have an open court, they find that the number of false allegations falls through the floor. The number of cases of litigation peels away, because people look and see what is ahead of them, and they sort it out by mediation. There are no drawbacks to having a proper open court in New Zealand, no drawbacks at all, as long as the identities of individuals are protected, and that is what should happen in this country. It would be a fairer system to all involved. Judges, lawyers, and caseworkers would all be subjected to proper scrutiny and held to account. There would be less litigation, less cost to the taxpayer, and better outcomes for children. It is an absolute disgrace that with this bill, the Care of Children Bill\u2014which could actually have done those things\u2014the Labour Government has failed. All the bill says to me is that Labour does not care about children, Labour does not care about families, and Labour does not care about proper justice in New Zealand.

He puts Don Brash in as a social policy spokesperson. He wants to make domestic purposes benefit time limits compulsory, and he wants to send people back to work under threat of losing the dole.

He did not remember that the regulations under which they were promulgated were regulations he brought in when he was Minister of Education. Nick Smith has had to be covered up for today by Gerry Brownlee, in what must surely be one of the most embarrassing interventions in a general debate in this term of Parliament. Gerry \u201CPetal\u201D Brownlee, the front row prop, was begging to be heard in silence because he could not get a word in edgewise. He was begging for mercy for Nick Smith. The member is obviously having a bad day. Clearly, the stress of imminent litigation is weighing heavy on his extra broad shoulders. Why did an experienced former Minister, when faced with a routine constituency case, not write earlier to the responsible Minister directly? Why did he come to the House today and lose his cool? What is going on? And why did he allegedly go too far anyway in divulging information about the case? Why is the National Party seeking to litigate the matter against the Solicitor-General, under cover of parliamentary privilege in the general debate, and at the same time claiming the right of silence?

This Government has proved its farsightedness once again. Two weeks ago we said we were keeping some money in the p\u016Btea kitty to cover contingencies. Last week we said that Tranz Rail needed to have a capital injection and we have done it, and I have not heard a single word from a single constituent saying that that was the wrong call. New Zealanders want the trains to run on time, and they have no respect for an Opposition that failed to put in place the proper safeguards for a botched privatisation, yet has the gall to criticise us for fixing it. In the general debate, Dr Cullen again showed himself to be a fine finance minister, but it is not just about being respectful in the way he deals with business. It is also having the strength to call a line when it needs to be called, and I refer to the outrageous Fairfax-INL potential masthead deal, where that takeover was going to generate $700 million in profit, according to press reports, of which some $400 million was going to be through tax advantages on the masthead transaction. And the Minister of Finance, quite rightly, said \u201CNot on my watch.\u201D That is $400 million or so\u2014if the press reports are to be believed\u2014that we could spend on shortening waiting lists, on putting police on the streets, and on making sure our kids have a decent education, not on feathering the nest of a parent corporation that may not know the difference between a proper business proposition and a tax avoidance matter.

During the course of the next hour, he threw a kitchen knife at a 5-year-old\u2014narrowly missing him\u2014threatened the homeowner with a knife, was violent and abusive, and admitted he had snuck into their home on previous occasions. That was the first crime. The police showed up the next day after the emergency operator criticised the residents for not staying by the phone while they were trying to protect their young child. That was the second crime. But it is the final insult that I wish to speak to tonight. The victims were told to present themselves at a family conference, and were given only 1 working day\u2019s notice. They were not given a choice. They were told that if they did not show up, the offender, Matthew Exeter, could be let out that very day. They were entitled to go to the conference without having to be in the same room as the offender and the support people. They were told, against the advice I had obtained for them, that they had to be in the same room. They were told that support people could not speak for them.

The grandfather, Kevin Exeter, principal of Parkview School in Parklands, lunged at one of the victims and had to be physically restrained by the police, twice. The grandmother, Lesley Exeter, who not only founded Tough Love but was awarded the Queen\u2019s Service Medal in the New Year\u2019s Honours List 1999, was abusive, belligerent, and intimidating. At the conclusion of this conference\u2014a conference where the victims were intimidated, physically threatened, and abused\u2014the following suggestions were given: reparation was to be paid for damages, but not for the damages to the car because, apparently, they were consequential; 60 hours\u2014a miserable number\u2014of community service were to be served; a curfew\u2014unenforceable\u2014between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., was to be reviewed after a month; Matthew Exeter was to reside with the obviously dysfunctional grandparents; and a recommendation was given by the social worker that as Matthew Exeter had already spent 2 months at Kingslea he would get no more time there. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000449\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u002204ed8007-24ee-45fb-ab8e-8573da79b238\u0022\u003EThis begs the larger question: why did Matthew Exeter get dealt with as a youth when, if he had actually killed somebody, he would have been treated as an adult?

That was just dismissed. Capital and Coast said in its annual plan that it was an achievement to have bought all surgery in-house. The Minister quotes figures that say that the number of surgical procedures has increased. Of course, they have increased, because she does not take into account the ones that were transferred from Wakefield Hospital. She does not ever count the ones that were done at Wakefield Hospital. The numbers for coronary artery bypass grafting have stayed very similar. What has happened next is that Capital and Coast has not been able to keep up with its cardiac waiting list so as to deliver within 6 months. It changed the intensive care bed policy, and booked all electives into intensive care. If a hospital does that, acute patients will always bump elective patients. The hospital should know that, and have a contingency plan for it. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000458\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022ac23eedf-0a53-4d88-a49b-d5b440483616\u0022\u003EJohn Russell was not cancelled once, but twice.

A patient can book surgery and be certain that the surgery will go ahead. The Minister has said that Labour does not have a problem with public-private partnerships, but she appoints the board chairman and members of the board, and that board has problems with private care. Because of that, it cancelled Wakefield Hospital\u2019s contract, and therefore someone like John Russell was twice cancelled for coronary artery bypass grafting\u2014a man of 42 and father of two\u2014rather than being moved to a private hospital where he could have had his surgery and been alive today. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000460\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022ac23eedf-0a53-4d88-a49b-d5b440483616\u0022\u003EThe other thing that has happened is that the points system has gone up.

I was persuaded somewhat by a meeting I had with a Dr Melissa Farley, who is reputed to have provided research on the matter of prostitution. She apparently interviewed about 46 prostitutes, particularly in Auckland and Wellington. While I disagreed with her at the time, I took time afterwards to consider what she and I had debated. I also went for a walk down memory lane to visit the old haunts, so to speak, to remind myself why I was supporting this bill. When I reflected upon some of the violence and unpleasantness that occurs in this industry, I began to ask myself if I was doing the right thing in supporting this bill, and very nearly changed to not supporting it. But today I have gone back to my original feelings about the bill, because I have been reliably informed about the research of Dr Melissa Farley, and now question its credibility. As members might have done, I have received not only the preliminary report she produced, but also the questionnaire answered by those prostitutes. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000469\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00226f6e1ae1-8aa5-4f71-8e73-30bb378026c4\u0022\u003EI was visited by a lady by the name of Colleen Winn, who was briefly employed by Dr Melissa Farley while she was in New Zealand doing this research. Her employment ceased very quickly, because she suddenly discovered that she had a number of concerns that she could not possibly continue working with. I would like to enlighten the Committee about that, because I know some members have been using Dr Farley\u2019s research in their speeches against this bill. I would like to read extracts from a letter Ms Winn has written to me, subsequent to a meeting I had with her last week in my constituency office. I quote: \u201CI believe Melissa did state that M\u0101ori women were entering prostitution as young as 9 years old. Part of my position as researcher on this study was to help to collate data as I viewed all the questionnaires. I did not see these figures in the study at all. However, there were two women who stated that their first sexual experience was at age 9.\u201D Question 13 of the questionnaire reads: \u201CHow old were you when you had your first sexual experience of any kind?\u201D I refer members to page 3 of the research I have here, where it states: \u201CAn adolescent told us that if she were out of prostitution, she would just like to be at home. She had been in prostitution since age of 9. A M\u0101ori girl, New Zealand street prostitution, 2003.\u201D Clearly, the answer to question 13 was put across as though it were the answer to question 1. Question 1 in the questionnaire asks: \u201CWhat age were you when you first started prostitution?\u201D \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000470\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00226f6e1ae1-8aa5-4f71-8e73-30bb378026c4\u0022\u003EI will carry on with extracts from that letter: \u201COn the second day of my employment with Melissa Farley, I discovered that her research project had not been seen or passed by any ethics committee in New Zealand. It was at this point that I withdrew my services as researcher and terminated my employment agreement. I have read and am aware of the ethics of psychologists working in New Zealand. I know these were not adhered to.\u201D That is of concern in relation to this research. It is interesting to note that after Colleen Winn had raised concerns that the questionnaire had not been passed by an ethics committee in New Zealand, she told me orally that on occasions some of the prostitutes were in receipt of about $20 for answering the questionnaire. That seems a little unethical to me, but the explanation was that prostitutes charge for their time. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000471\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00226f6e1ae1-8aa5-4f71-8e73-30bb378026c4\u0022\u003EI continue to quote from the letter: \u201CI am aware that Melissa gave a TV interview with the Breakfast show, and quoted a statistic as being 86 percent in New Zealand.\u201D From what I can gather, she was referring to the second paragraph on page 2 of Dr Farley\u2019s preliminary report: \u201CWe found significant race/ethnic differences in age of entry into prostitution: 68 percent of M\u0101ori respondents entered prostitution at the age of 17 or younger.\u201D I make that point because television is nationwide and viewed by many people, and an incorrect impression might have been given\u2014there is a difference between 86 percent and 68 percent. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000472\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00226f6e1ae1-8aa5-4f71-8e73-30bb378026c4\u0022\u003EFinally, it is the opinion of Ms Winn that this study \u201Cwas not ethical, and the impact has done harm to those women and men who took part in it. It is for that reason that I am writing to the psychologists board of registration in California to lay a formal complaint regarding Melissa. I also believe that Melissa has committed an act of intentional misrepresentation of fact.\u201D That last point was the reason Ms Winn contacted me.

That would simply not be good enough, so my support for the bill will continue. Issues have been raised that there would be an explosion of gang and criminal involvement etc. if the law were liberalised, but I do not think that will be the case. When something is opened up and is more public, with\u2014for want of a better term\u2014more State control, the last thing the criminals will want is to be engaged in that area, because it is fraught with all sorts of problems. They prefer to work underground\u2014that way, they can keep out of the sight of the laws in this country as much as possible, so I believe that there are some issues around that.

Where will this bill take New Zealand citizens? Where will it place families on the agenda of New Zealand\u2019s social structure? I have great regard for those who have stood to be counted as being against this bill, and I challenge those who support this bill to go back to their electorates and talk to the families who reside there.

Reformation of the world begins with reformation of self. We cannot hope to influence others in the direction of moral virtues unless we live lives of virtue.

We cannot expect to lift others unless we are standing on higher ground.

So far in this stage we have debated the bill for about 6 hours and passed its title. Many of us earnestly hope we will be dealing with the amendments before today\u2019s sitting finishes. I know the record of these debates is important for the future, and there are issues around the bill, particularly those touched on by the amendments today, that some members are still exploring. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000480\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f9a94bf3-a948-4410-8413-403a7454114b\u0022\u003ETo try to focus my comments, I took what some may regard as a brave step of sitting down with the Hansard of our last Committee stage debate, which took place 4 weeks ago today. I analysed the speeches in opposition to the bill and identified the main lines of argument. The immediate thing that struck me was that the nature of this debate has changed. Some new issues have arisen; some others have subsided. I have prepared some new briefing notes that focus on those matters, and they have been circulated today to members. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000481\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f9a94bf3-a948-4410-8413-403a7454114b\u0022\u003EThis bill is a product of years of discussion. Some here may regard it as a work of the devil, or even worse. But I do hope that all can respect it as a desperately serious attempt to address some real evils. I also hope that members can respect that its authors, from Maurice Williamson to Katherine O\u2019Regan, from the National Council of Women of New Zealand to Business and Professional Women, were, and are, utterly convinced that the decriminalisation model was, and is, the proper way to go. I also note that no one has questioned the fact that this nation\u2019s major women\u2019s, human rights, and public health groups, support this proposed new law for prostitution. Some members have questioned whether Parliament has spent sufficient time on this legislation. Oddly enough, the same members seem also to bemoan the fact that we are facing so many amendments during this Committee stage. Well, no force on earth will stop members of Parliament from producing amendments on a complex matter, such as prostitution. Indeed, what we are going through now is a process enthusiastically supported by the New Zealand public. We have approached a progressive, internally consistent proposal for law change in a cross-party way. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000482\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f9a94bf3-a948-4410-8413-403a7454114b\u0022\u003EThis bill was largely prepared by two National members of Parliament, and sponsored by myself, a Labour MP. The Justice and Electoral Committee, which considered the bill, was chaired by two MPs, one National and one ACT. Some members claim there was \u201Cnothing broke\u201D in the way our prostitution law currently works, so why fix it? That is one of the most sterile of arguments. Firstly, it is so lacking in ambition for this nation. I want us to have high-quality law in every area, not some awkward fudge because Parliament is too afraid to bite the bullet and deal with the hard issues. Secondly, that argument passively leaves an acceptable level of discretion in the hands of our police. It is simply unacceptable for our approach to prostitution to be based on law with inherent gender bias that can be activated by police who decide that some street workers are easy pickings on a quiet night. That was what happened in Auckland on two nights this year. The police made a series of arrests on the streets of Auckland. They were damaging their relationship with members of a community whose cooperation is vital to effective policing in the inner city and who are vulnerable to violent attack by the nature of their work\u2014a danger increased because our laws tell them to live in the shadows. I tell those M\u0101ori and Samoan members of Parliament who intend to oppose this bill to explain their vote to M\u0101ori and Samoan prostitutes who are demanding law change and who are much more likely to be arrested than their P\u0101keh\u0101 counterparts. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000483\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f9a94bf3-a948-4410-8413-403a7454114b\u0022\u003EThe 2003 year has also seen at least three police raids of reportedly unregistered escort agencies. The charge will be brothel keeping. The evidence will include condoms found on the scene, yet the Inland Revenue Department is happy to accept those workers as taxpayers, and even operate a special unit to cater for them, and public health helps to provide those condoms. If that is not State hypocrisy, I do not know what is. I am sorry that the amendments in the name of Gordon Copeland and Wayne Mapp currently before this Committee sustain all that nonsense. Other members claim that we have done insufficient research on the topic. The select committee met on and off for 2 years on this matter. Its members travelled the country, received 222 submissions, covering every conceivable viewpoint, and heard 66 submissions. We were advised by four State agencies, including those of police and health. Our desire to travel to see how the laws were operating in Australia came up against the rules governing select committees, so we personally paid to go in order that we, as a Committee, could do the best job possible. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000484\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f9a94bf3-a948-4410-8413-403a7454114b\u0022\u003ESome say that this bill normalises prostitution, but they carefully avoid saying what they really mean by that. Does the Human Rights Act normalise discrimination? Does consumer law normalise shonky trade practices? Well, my bill certainly decriminalises\u2014that means specific law targeted on clear criminalities and exposure to all of the general laws. The result is that an activity that is currently regulated by police-driven systems will instead be regulated by the range of State agencies that most small businesses have to contend with; plus there will be distinct laws on such varied issues as safer sex practices, signage, and age limit. Is that normalising? This bill specifically makes no moral judgment about prostitution, any more than other laws on consensual adult activity seek to pass judgment. Some have argued that this bill was amended at the select committee in ways that effectively increased the level of acceptance of prostitution. That is simply not true. Amendments agreed to relate to penalties, which were increased, to the establishment of a review committee, and to some very specific scenarios brought to the attention of the committee, particularly banning Work and Income from referring people to sex work. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000485\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f9a94bf3-a948-4410-8413-403a7454114b\u0022\u003EThe arrogance of some lines of argument we have had relating to this bill are a little staggering. Some claim that this bill will not offer any help to sex workers. By implication they claim they know more about what it is like to be a sex worker than do members of the Prostitutes Collective. If this bill passes in its present form, sex workers will benefit in the following ways: their work environments will improve in accordance with an occupational safety and health code, which could not be produced under the current law; they will be less constrained in forming collectives, or similar worker-run businesses\u2014currently such businesses run as escort agencies and are outside the law; they will be able to be employed under employment contracts, which is impossible under current law; they will be able to withdraw from an implied contract with a client without fear of a sanction from the operator of the prostitution business; operators who use coercive behaviour against their sex workers will face higher penalties than they do now; if they are street workers they will be able to use the services of a safe house as a location for sexual activity with their client rather than in a street or the back of a car\u2014such a house would now breach a number of current laws; if they are street workers they will no longer be in danger of arrest for soliciting offences, and thus will not have a prostitution related conviction\u2014such a conviction makes obtaining a mortgage or travel to Australia or the USA virtually impossible; and they will also be served by a more comprehensive range of agencies that are designed to help them to exit from prostitution. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000486\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f9a94bf3-a948-4410-8413-403a7454114b\u0022\u003EThe honourable member who spoke before me spoke of a world of degradation and of prostitution, as treated in this bill, as an abomination against society.

We think that being under-age is wrong, coercion is wrong, and drugs are wrong. We think all of those other things that I hear being mentioned that this legislation will supposedly allow. Well, it is not. It simply is not. When I hear about the use of methamphetamine and prostitution in south Auckland, I know it is going on right now. I heard the Hon Dover Samuels say that he went to Greenwoods Corner, or wherever it was, and saw for himself what was going on. Again, I say to members that that is happening now, under the law as it now stands. I am staggered that every member of Parliament\u2014as those members speak\u2014does not want to change what is going on now. I do not want 13-year-old girls coerced.

Another example, which just left me cold, was in Christchurch and involved a couple of policemen posing as TV3 cameramen. They went into a massage parlour and upstairs into the little booths, took off their clothes, lay naked next to a young lady, and when she then offered to do something, they said: \u201CYou\u2019re busted!\u201D Where was the crime there? Do the police not have a helluva lot more issues they should be putting their time into?

God knows, I would not want my daughter to grow up to be a politician, either. I hope she never does. If she does, I will still love her and forgive her, and I will hope that one day she sees some sense. What I am saying is that we would not want that. I would prefer that prostitution did not exist, and I hope that one day everyone is financially viable enough never to have to consider it, and so on. But the reality is that there has always been prostitution in the world, and there always will be, even when the punishments are very severe.

When it was totally illegal, the Mafia and John Dillinger and all the boys ran prostitution and the numbers rackets right through Chicago and right through New York.

I am rather disappointed because I had understood and had heard from the member\u2019s own mouth that her opposition\u2014which had switched in the last few weeks towards this bill\u2014was based not on Melissa\u2019s research but on the fact she had been back to look at where she had been involved in prostitution herself in her life some years ago, and her conclusion had been that this legislation did nothing to prevent women from entering prostitution, nor did it do anything to help women exit the industry, and that is why she was considering opposing it. Melissa Farley\u2019s research had nothing to do with that. In fact, no one in this House would know better what a hellhole prostitution is than Georgina Beyer herself. The idea that this bill was supposed to prevent women from entering it is a nonsense, and that is why we oppose it. It is not going to deliver for the people involved in prostitution what they hope it will. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000520\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003EIn fact, regardless of Melissa\u2019s research, I have conducted several public debates around the country since this bill has been of public interest, and prostitutes from both sides of the camp have stood up during those debates. Some are hoping that this bill is going to solve all their problems, and others, some of whom had years of experience, disagreed. In fact, one who had 20 years\u0027 experience was at the most recent debate, where Sue Bradford was present, and she said she has been in massage parlours all over the country. She has been a prostitute all around the world, and she completely scorned the idea that this bill was going to make life better for prostitutes. If we cannot take it from the mouth of that prostitute, who has some credibility, then I do not know who we are going to be listening to. Melissa Farley came here on a very short trip\u201410 days. She did her very best to interview prostitutes from morning till night to try to get some indication of what is really happening in New Zealand, and I think it is deplorable that people are attacking minute details of that research as a way of trying to shift the emphasis upon the horrible lifestyle that prostitutes have in this country. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000521\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003EI am also concerned about the status quo. I do not believe that the status quo in this country is good enough. I have racked my brains over the last months to try to see what we could actually do that would be common sense in order to address some of the concerns that are raised by this bill. I put forward an amendment that I thought might have offered some assistance. I am sympathetic to the fact that these poor women can be tricked by policemen in a massage parlour, and prosecuted for soliciting when the massage parlour owner\u2014who is operating as a brothel keeper and is living off the earnings of prostitution, which is an offence under the Crimes Act\u2014is allowed to get away scot-free. I think that that is an injustice, and I would like to have addressed it. I think it is also a shame that women who are soliciting on the street are prosecuted but the police do not go round the corner and find the illegal brothel and do something about that. But as I have tried to find a way forward, I have come to the conclusion that almost anything we try to do with this bill to try to make life better for a prostitute ends up having a very negative consequence. So I shall be withdrawing my amendment as from tonight. I have had to admit that it will not achieve what I hoped it would achieve.

Decriminalising prostitution and putting it on the same footing as other occupations and businesses is simply legitimising the entire industry, and it is sending the wrong message out to the young and the vulnerable, who will see prostitution as a genuine career choice.

That sounds well and good, but the decriminalisation of prostitution in the manner that this bill attempts also legitimises the peripheral businesses along with it; in other words, drugs, trafficking, and pimping\u2014everything that goes with it. The question must be asked: is this bill\u2019s ultimate intention to legitimise those peripheral businesses and to decriminalise the trafficking and exploitation of young women, and drugs, because both of those also have serious health problems associated with them? Prostitution is the hiring of humans to act like sexualised puppets. Prostitution always includes the dehumanisation, objectification, and fetishisation of women and children. Decriminalisation makes prostitution no safer or less humiliating for those in it. It simply puts the State in the role of pimp, collecting taxes. Collecting taxes is what this Government is good at, and this bill adds pimping to the Government\u2019s credentials. In other words, they will be living off the earnings of prostitutes. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000534\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00224ad02d80-0242-43c0-a0b6-862d72b3f978\u0022\u003ELet us have a look at some of the Supplementary Order Papers that have been put forward. Dianne Yates makes an attempt at criminalising the client. That is commendable\u2014it is part of a bill that New Zealand First has in the ballot\u2014but that particular Supplementary Order Paper is nothing more than a band-aid because it will not work under this bill. The bill has clauses that will completely negate her Supplementary Order Paper. Let us look at Lianne Dalziel\u2019s Supplementary Order Paper. The Minister of Immigration would have us believe that she will control the immigration aspect of this bill, and make it illegal for immigrants and student immigrants to work as prostitutes. This Minister has already demonstrated that she is unable to control or even correctly identify student immigrants. How on earth does this Minister think that she will control prostitution under this bill? How will the Minister prevent students from entering prostitution to pay for their fees? Maybe she will wait until New Zealand First points it out to her, then, again, she will ignore the warnings until prostitution is so rife that she can no longer ignore the issue. Then she will claim she was on to it all along. Wayne Mapp has an amendment also. Wayne Mapp was a member of the Justice and Electoral Committee, and he tells me that his amendment is designed to bring the bill back into line with the select committee\u2019s views and recommendations. If that is correct, then it begs the question: why was the select committee\u2019s review not included and why has this bill deviated so much from those views that it has attracted so many amendments? \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000535\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00224ad02d80-0242-43c0-a0b6-862d72b3f978\u0022\u003ESince the introduction of this bill in September 2000, my New Zealand First colleague Peter Brown has carried out an enormous amount of work.

As a result of that work, I am pleased and proud to be able to sponsor a member\u2019s bill called the Prostitution (Client Liability and Prostitute Care) Bill. The bill is in the ballot and is waiting to be drawn. That bill is based on the Swedish law model, which was introduced in 1999. Much of the work and research in that bill has been undertaken by Peter Brown. Under the provisions in my bill, the client will be prosecuted. My bill counteracts the harmful effects of prostitution by making it a criminal offence to be a client in an act of prostitution. Accompanying the prohibition with associated measures directed at restricting advertising, among other things it provides support mechanisms that will help prostitutes to get out of the industry. The bill will make sure that prostitutes have all the support they need when they want to leave the industry, and to encourage them to leave.

First, I acknowledge the mistake I made, in that I have had three calls, as the Clerk has pointed out. I understand that, in the beginning, when the House agreed that this bill would be debated in parts, rather than part by part, the debate was to be wide-ranging, with as many calls as a member wished to take. Since then the goal posts have moved a bit, and members are limited to four calls. There is a lot that has to be said. I am not wasting the Committee\u2019s time. I am making constructive comments, and I wish to make some comments about two more of the amendments that are before the Committee.

Having said that, I should not be taking a call, but I would like to draw the Committee\u2019s attention to an amendment that is on the Table from the Green Party\u2014from myself, with Sue Kedgley behind me. We had two separate amendments earlier in the Committee stage, and as we are about to vote, I hope, on the amendments, I am seeking support for the revised amendment that the Green Party is putting forward. The amendment deals with the question of the advertising of commercial sexual services should the bill be passed. We were concerned, as Mr Copeland from United Future has been, about the fact that nothing in the bill looked at the whole question of what would happen in terms of advertising if the bill went through. Our revised amendment calls for there to be no advertising of commercial sexual services on television, radio, or in public movie theatres. We do accept advertising in newspapers and magazines, but only in the classified advertisements sections. That is pretty close to the status quo, and it also allows magazines with R18-type audiences, such as Express and other magazines, to continue to run their R18-type advertisements. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000547\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f8b92f47-d078-4e6a-b4c6-136913bda55d\u0022\u003EMr Copeland and others seem to believe that there should be no advertising at all. We think that that is totally unrealistic and would lead to some regrettable outcomes, such as an increase in street soliciting and pimping, and also would be in the interests of big-business owners who could afford large-scale street signage. I do not think that any of that is really what any of us wants. If one is to run a service, one has to be able to advertise it. That is why we have put forward this amendment with an overall desire to strengthen the bill from whatever point of view members are coming from. We think it is in everyone\u2019s interests to have a sensible approach to advertising, so that we do not have the kind of undesirable consequences of either increased street soliciting and pimping, or of seeing advertisements on prime-time television for brothels. We do not want our children, and probably even ourselves, to have to watch that. For those of us who do support decriminalisation, it is important that we make the bill as sensible as possible. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000548\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f8b92f47-d078-4e6a-b4c6-136913bda55d\u0022\u003EBeyond that, I would like to thank some members tonight, like Georgina Beyer, for exposing the myths that Dr Melissa Farley has been putting forward around the country on behalf of the Maxim Institute and others who have been opposing the bill. I thank Tim Barnett for his work on drawing the arguments together. I thank Maurice Williamson for trying to bring us back to the reality that the very evils so many members who oppose this bill are talking about are things that are happening now, and that what those of us who support the bill are trying to do is to fight those evils, and to bring in better public health and a much safer environment for sex workers. We want to see an empowering environment that is not in the control of gangs or big business but is much more in the hands of sex workers themselves. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000549\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f8b92f47-d078-4e6a-b4c6-136913bda55d\u0022\u003EI note that some people here have talked about Sandra Coney and her arguments from a feminist perspective. Once again, it is very ironic that a feminist like Miss Coney is an abolitionist. I cannot understand how someone who has spent her life defending the rights of women can turn round and say that we should be opposing a bill that will stop the criminalising and arresting of women on the streets of Auckland, many of whom are M\u0101ori women, I might add. As to the sense in that, what good does it do to any woman or man to be dragged through the police cells, through the courts, and have his or her whole life changed and damaged by a conviction? I just cannot understand feminist arguments that support the continued criminalisation of those workers. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000550\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022f8b92f47-d078-4e6a-b4c6-136913bda55d\u0022\u003EIn conclusion, I make a last-minute plea to members from all sides of the House to consider supporting the bill. I make a particular plea to members of the ACT party, some of whom support the bill and some of whom do not. Again, I cannot understand why any member of the ACT party would oppose this bill, given their avowed commitment on many other fronts to getting the State out of people\u2019s lives, and, in this particular case, getting the State out of the lives of consenting adults over the age of 18.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ca name=\u0022member\u0022 data-type=\u0022article\u0022 data-memberid=\u00225caeb43f-d5eb-4780-bddc-0fc23950543a\u0022 data-id=\u00220de5cb33cce6411992de58007036774d\u0022\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000551\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00225caeb43f-d5eb-4780-bddc-0fc23950543a\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsByToc\u0022 id=\u00220de5cb33cce6411992de58007036774d\u0022\u003EMURRAY SMITH (United Future):\u003C/span\u003E In reporting back on this bill, the Justice and Electoral Committee stated that the bill was not intended to equate with the promotion of prostitution as an acceptable career option, but instead to enable sex workers to have access to the same protections that are afforded to other workers, and to make it easier for them to exit the industry. Tonight Maurice Williamson has stated that he wishes that prostitution did not exist. It appears that a number of speakers have indicated that their view is that prostitution is a negative factor in our society, but they somehow see that this bill will insist on reducing the incidence of prostitution, rather than increasing it. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000552\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00225caeb43f-d5eb-4780-bddc-0fc23950543a\u0022\u003EFirstly, I say I have a huge amount of sympathy for women who find themselves trapped in this industry, who want to exit it, and who find that there are reasons that they cannot, whether those reasons are psychological, in terms of being scared to approach people for assistance, or are that the women are being victimised in some other way. But this legislation will not make it easier for people to exit the industry. This legislation commercialises the industry, and if this bill passes it is inevitable that prostitution will increase and will be in one\u2019s face. In terms of our society, this legislation will change it for the worse. Basically, this legislation will commercialise the industry and open it up to market forces.

Elene Vis, whose autobiography Escort Queen with Turbopower made her a Dutch tabloid darling, opened the school last week in a luxury Amsterdam canal house to offer prostitutes \u2018exclusive sales training\u2019 to boost their business. \u2018You could call it sales techniques. You have to sell yourself, and it doesn\u2019t matter if you sell your body or you sell vacuum cleaners. The principle is exactly the same\u2019, Vis, 43, says. Vis, once dubbed \u2018the five-star madam\u2019, ran a firm providing expensive escorts to wealthy clients for 20 years. She says the men and women prostitutes who worked for her agency could make about EUR$6,000 (NZ$12,000) a month for 40 hours\u2019 work.\u201D \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000554\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00225caeb43f-d5eb-4780-bddc-0fc23950543a\u0022\u003ENow, if that is a lessening of the industry, I fail to see just how people can rationalise that.

Again, there are amendments to try to restrict where that signage will be, but we will find that brothels are quite entitled to put up neon signs, particularly in commercial areas, to advertise the products and services that they provide, and that will be in people\u2019s faces.

Brothels will have to provide for more bizarre sexual activity, and to push the boundaries of legality. We will get into sadism, bestiality, and necrophilia. That might sound strange and far-fetched, but I can guarantee members that as market forces play out, and as brothels compete with each other to get more and more business, they will push the limits as far as they can go. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000561\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00225caeb43f-d5eb-4780-bddc-0fc23950543a\u0022\u003EIn terms of illicit material, we already know that the underage use of pornography is a real problem, and that will be pushed.

I know a lot of members are hinging their final support for the vote on his particular Supplementary Order Paper. He is the Minister who said that it would be unconscionable for us to pass this bill unless there were controls to prohibit gangs and the criminal element from becoming involved in prostitution. Of course, that is occurring already. The Massage Parlours Act was supposed to provide licensing, zoning, and so on, yet the gangs have already found ways to get round that legislation. The Minister believes that his Supplementary Order Paper would somehow be adhered to by every citizen in the country, particularly by those involved in illegal activities. He believes it would solve the problem, but I contend that it would not. There is no guarantee that his Supplementary Order Paper will keep the criminal element out of prostitution and resolve the issues that are faced in New Zealand.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000567\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003ESitting suspended from 6 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000568\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsBy\u0022 id=\u0022b1080c3223404add8453911f2687f483\u0022\u003ELARRY BALDOCK\u003C/span\u003E: It is interesting to note, first of all, that Supplementary Order Paper 83 actually has more clauses in it than the bill, because the Minister is trying to use every finger to plug the gaps so that the bill does not leak out its oozy, sewage stuff upon society. By that, I do not mean the people who are trapped in prostitution. I mean the evil institutions behind prostitution that exploit women, young men, and children. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000569\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003EMr Goff is confident that his Supplementary Order Paper can resolve all the criticisms we have raised, but the penalty in that Supplementary Order Paper for operating a brothel without a licence is a measly $10,000. That $10,000 is the only piece of weaponry the police may have when trying to clamp down on the operators of illegal brothels. I suggest tonight that $10,000 is just pocket money for those who profit from the prostitution industry, and that it will not be a deterrent of any kind. I ask the Minister to explain why he has not placed more teeth in that Supplementary Order Paper, to really discourage people from engaging in illegal activities. Why does the Proceeds of Crime Act not apply to those people who would operate illegal brothels? If we can take away the assets of those who profit from the selling of drugs, why can we not take away the assets of those who would profit from the selling of women\u2019s bodies illegally? But no, that Supplementary Order Paper is not really designed to seriously deal with the problem. It is just a vain attempt. It is like a slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket, and it will not have the effect that Mr Goff hopes it will have. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000570\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003EMany people are concerned about local bodies having to deal with the zoning and licensing of brothels, and I have here a document\u2014which I will seek to table later\u2014from the Tauranga District Council, in which it has expressed its concern that there is nothing in this bill or in Supplementary Order Paper 83 that would help it to stop brothels from operating in residential areas. When the council wrote its district plan, running a brothel was not a legal activity, so the district plan does not address that problem. Therefore, a home-operated brothel with four employees could operate as of right under the Tauranga District Council\u2019s district plan. It would not need to seek a resource consent under the Resource Management Act or anything like that, which is what Supplementary Order Paper 83 tries to do. We are desperately trying to work on the Resource Management Act to get it to work better, and we are fiddling with it in this legislation in order to try to make provision for brothel keepers to operate, while other legitimate businesses that are of benefit to society have difficulty in obtaining their consents through the Resource Management Act process. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000571\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003ESo I urge members not to be deluded into thinking that by supporting Phil Goff\u2019s Supplementary Order Paper, they are sanitising the real evil that will be unleashed as a result of passing this bill. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000572\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003EWe have also heard about the amendments that Lianne Dalziel has promoted to deal with the problem of the trafficking of women into this country, particularly under the guise of student visas.

The pimp will simply see that girl sent home, and then his mates in Thailand, the Philippines, Korea, or even as far away as Russia\u2014we have Russian women coming here already\u2014will just send him another girl whom he can profit from and exploit, and then, when she is all used up and perhaps caught by the police, she will be sent home again.

Let me suggest to members that all those amendments will water the bill down to some degree. Not all of them will get through, but any that do will water the bill down to such a degree that some people who are genuinely concerned about the impact of prostitution on society might vote for it. So I urge the people who think they will vote for those amendments to make the bill better to think very, very carefully.

That is an absolute fallacy. Decriminalisation will open the door and allow the industry to expand. The industry will become a front for drug use and drug pushing, and for child prostitution. Why do I know all this? How do I know all this? It is because everywhere in the world where this industry has been liberalised, that has happened. In every single place in the world where the industry has been liberalised, those sorts of things have occurred, and I challenge any member to find any country in the world and tell me I am not speaking the truth about that.

I was going to use stronger words and call it a farce, but I will not go as far as that.

It was the most politicised select committee I have been on in my time at Parliament. People voted by numbers whenever they wanted to do so. They did not listen to the arguments or accept other people\u2019s input. They just said they were there to push the bill through, so they would push it through.

I realise that this is a leave request, but I would ask whether it is possible for this Committee to consider first a variation, or whether it is necessary to reject that and have it re-put. If I may explain, it appears to me from canvassing people who are seeking guidance on the voting here that the prospect of running through that list will be extremely confusing, and that it was a mistake when we first decided that all the voting would be collected at the end. I would certainly like to see an opportunity for at least the movers of each motion to address, for 5 minutes between each vote, the purpose of their motions. I have been present for almost the entire part of this debate, and I have heard almost nothing addressed on the wording of these motions. There has been almost no discussion whatsoever of the technical effect of these amendments. Nearly every speech has been, in effect, a title speech, and some of these motions would be quite incompatible with others. There is every prospect that this bill might end up being quite unworkable for want of the extra few minutes that would be involved in giving, say, one or two speeches between each vote. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000613\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u0022e4030eb1-1b72-4bc3-b00d-7126013abc01\u0022\u003EI realise that that is by way of a change to what was intended and to what the whips had agreed to, but it seems to me, in talking to people whom I regard as careful and diligent MPs, that they are very, very confused indeed about the interrelationship of the various amendments in this bill. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02000614\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u002270fa4cbd-9380-4916-9f2a-78da059d220e\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsBy\u0022 id=\u0022e0faa4117d6d4594bd79382cb9348b2b\u0022\u003EThe CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson)\u003C/span\u003E: Can I suggest to the member that he could seek leave to have that done, because these amendments have actually been on the Table for some considerable time, and members would have had ample opportunity to read them.

It is now out of order because the amendment to Supplementary Order Paper 90 in the name of Sue Bradford has been passed. That means that the amendment in the name of Gordon Copeland is inconsistent with the previous decision. It is inconsistent to ban advertising when a decision has been made to admit it but place restrictions on it. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ca name=\u0022member\u0022 data-type=\u0022article\u0022 data-memberid=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022 data-id=\u00225cc08e397b9143fc851615f939e0b381\u0022\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02001081\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsByToc\u0022 id=\u00225cc08e397b9143fc851615f939e0b381\u0022\u003ELARRY BALDOCK (United Future):\u003C/span\u003E I raise a point of order, Mr Chairperson.

I can see what you are saying, but it seems just as logical to argue the counterfactual\u2014that is to say, an amendment that further moves in the direction of restriction is in fact consistent with the amendment that has just been passed but extends it even further. I cannot see that you can say that it is in conflict with it or that it goes towards prohibition. It does not go towards an absolute prohibition. It simply moves further in the direction of restriction.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02001084\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u002270fa4cbd-9380-4916-9f2a-78da059d220e\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsBy\u0022 id=\u0022eef5c0a02c67443bb8dd281ceb1a0705\u0022\u003EThe CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson)\u003C/span\u003E: I thank the honourable member for his contribution.

We are obviously in for a long evening, and I point out that I am in a position where I have been genuinely mistaken. I supported the previous amendment, thinking that I could go on to support the amendment you have ruled out of order. I think it is very, very important that when you put a particular amendment, you clearly spell out, prior to the voting, what the consequential effect will be on voting for that amendment. So the consequential effect of voting for, say, Supplementary Order Paper 90 would be that Supplementary Order Paper 82 is then out of order. I can assure the Committee\u2014and I state this clearly and publicly\u2014that I would not have supported Supplementary Order Paper 90 if I had been aware of that. I realise what has happened has happened, but it would be helpful, just to assist us, if the Chair would seek the appropriate advice, and advise members in that way accordingly.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n      \u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02001088\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u002270fa4cbd-9380-4916-9f2a-78da059d220e\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsBy\u0022 id=\u0022c5fdcd986c7a4e2e8b435cc1511c7ed7\u0022\u003EThe CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson)\u003C/span\u003E: I thank the honourable member for bringing that to my attention. I will certainly take note of that. We now come back to the amendments in the name of Dr Wayne Mapp. His transcript amendments seek to amend the Hon Phil Goff\u2019s Supplementary Order Paper 91, to insert reference in clause 6D to Dr Mapp\u2019s proposed new clause 6CB and reinstate the provisions of clause 6D(2). This replaces Dr Mapp\u2019s Supplementary Order Paper 68 amendment to clause 6D. However, if the Hon Phil Goff\u2019s new clause 6D is not agreed to, then Dr Mapp\u2019s original amendment to clause 6D, set out on Supplementary Order Paper 68, will stand.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ca name=\u0022member\u0022 data-type=\u0022article\u0022 data-memberid=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022 data-id=\u00220805837acdff4847adb7a2d958730bae\u0022\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cp id=\u0022id20030611d0c3ae3a20544c23bc8ac0fb52e3bb02001089\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsNormal\u0022 id=\u00221e93d9c8-b183-40db-b200-833697df066c\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022HpsByToc\u0022 id=\u00220805837acdff4847adb7a2d958730bae\u0022\u003ELARRY BALDOCK (United Future):\u003C/span\u003E I raise a point of order, Mr Chairperson.
