Hon Dr NICK SMITH (National): Members on this side of the House are concerned that we are being made fools of by being the fastest lawmakers in the west. Everybody would be aware that this is a bill that was introduced under urgency. It was a bill that has gone through a sham select committee process of only six days. It is a bill of which New Zealanders only received a single day in which to make submissions—something that I have never seen in my 30 years as a member of Parliament. And my question for the Minister is: why should the bill commence immediately? Why should we make a farce of the process?
