Hon SHANE JONES (Minister of Forestry): Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker. Naturally, this is a first reading for this bill, and a number of the concerns have been already identified. I've no doubt in my mind that the Māori Affairs Committee will receive submissions and diligently work through those submissions. On this side of the House, we are not that pompous to think that this bill doesn't deserve further scrutiny, and there can be refinements. That's the virtue of having a select committee process. But the underlying kaupapa of the bill is to enable those Māori land owners who either want to dedicate their land to a long-term permanent heritage purpose not to be rated out of existence, or those who may actually want to evolve the use of their land to do it in such a way that they're not insolvent before they start. Now, these are actually matters that will advance the interests of the broader rate-paying community.
