Dr JAMES McDOWALL (ACT): Thank you, Mr Speaker. On the first reading of this bill, the ACT Party took a principled stance in opposing this bill—the only party to do so—and our stance remains unchanged. It's not about one year or two years; the issues are much bigger than that. Of course, it's unlikely that we could've changed our minds, since it's been so little time since that first reading, though, admittedly, more time than has been afforded to the many other pieces of legislation that have passed under urgency this year without consideration for their obvious consequences. New Zealanders can consider themselves, perhaps, lucky that the Government has shown at least a token appreciation for democratic lawmaking with this bill. However, frankly, the outcome will be the same as if we had a select committee or if we didn't have one.
