PENNY SIMMONDS (National—Invercargill): We stand in opposition of the shortened select committee process. As we've already heard from our Green Party colleague, there has been significant interest in this. There has been a petition already from the teachers—a significant number of teachers—Eugenie Sage was able to tell us. During this shortened period, every teacher will be teaching. There is no holiday period in that shortened time. So we are expecting our teachers to not only do their job, and we know it's a very big job. They work long hours, and we are expecting them to put their time into their submissions without even their break period to do it. There will be exams coming up. And we know how much heightened interest there is around this. It's like adding insult to injury. They weren't consulted on the first time. That was one of the five findings that the High Court had—they weren't consulted on. So we're not going to allow them time to be consulted with this time either. To me, it's an absolute insult to our teachers to say they have taken a case to the High Court, they have won, it has been found that they weren't consulted with, and so now, retrospective legislation is going to be put through and they won't have time to be consulted with again. It's absolutely insulting to our teachers to do that. So we oppose that shortened consultation period.
