Now, myself and the Minister in the chair, the Hon Nanaia Mahuta, have both been members of this House for a long time, and I have heard her give so many very principled speeches about why retrospective legislation is wrong. I've heard the Minister in the chair say that if Māori have lodged a claim before the courts and the process is midway through, this Parliament shouldn't pass law that cuts across it. I had some research done about how many times the Minister in the chair has argued that retrospective law is wrong, that if people are going through a process you shouldn't have law that cuts across it. Well, the commencement clause means that there are tens of thousands of people who are in the middle of a legal process that this commencement clause cuts right across. That is, we have seven communities across New Zealand representing populations of over a million people that are due to have a poll. They are in the middle of a legal process. They have acquired the numbers of signatures under a law that the Minister in the chair supported and wrote in 2002. So I would argue, based on her very own comments, that the commencement date of this bill should be deferred to the point where it is not retrospective, and the rights of those hundreds of thousands of people are respected.
