Hon GERRY BROWNLEE (National): I thought the Minister did an admirable job of standing in the House this afternoon, attempting to explain why this legislation has to go through with the very minimum of public scrutiny applied to any bill. What he should have said is that "We just had our eye off the ball. We didn't recognise that we were getting close to the time when the legislation, that was quite appropriately passed under similar conditions 12 months ago, was going to expire."
