Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE (National): Thank you, Mr Chair. I just have one question—not so much related to the substance of the bill, that I think is actually in very good shape, but in relation to why we're here on a members' day in the committee of the whole House considering this Palmerston North Reserves Empowering Amendment bill. The reason I ask that is because for the better part of the last hundred-and-something years, this Parliament would pass a bill that since 1906 was an annual process and since about the 1930s was called the Reserves and Other Lands Disposal Bill. And then in the 1980s, it happened every three or four years. Then we certainly hit quicksand under the Key-English Government because of a sticky issue that was part of a bill that was introduced in 2009. But my question to the member is: did he or the Palmerston North City Council pop along to the Minister for Land Information—and if he hadn't, he could perhaps do that now; he's not that far away from him—and find out why it is that it was necessary to use members' day time to do what is a pretty straightforward thing, but which had in the past happened multiple times?
