Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister for the Environment): Thank you for those questions. In respect of the first comments around infrastructure and costs of infrastructure, one of the objectives of this reform is to reduce those costs because they are absurdly high in New Zealand. The cost of consenting infrastructure, according to the Infrastructure Commission, an organisation that this Government created in the last term—it had an investigation into those costs and they have increased for mid-size infrastructure by 150 percent over about 10 years, so those consenting costs are now 250 percent of what they were a decade ago; an absolutely absurd waste of money. One of our objectives is to reduce those costs and we will.
