Hon SCOTT SIMPSON (National—Coromandel): Look, thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker; I appreciate the opportunity to take a very brief call on this matter that the Minister is raising. The Minister, in his comments regarding the select committee timing and pointing back to the legislation that was enacted by the last National Government in 2010, neglected, of course, to point out that the circumstances of that legislation were significantly and completely different to that that exists today. This was legislation that the Government promised would be in place within its first 100 days of taking on the Treasury benches. And of course, that's a failed promise, another lack of delivery. And now for the Minister to somehow imply that a truncated and shortened select committee process should occur simply because the working group has already done some work on this is a slap in the face to parliamentary democracy. It sounds now like the Minister is saying that just because the Government sets up a working group, they can somehow make shorter the constitutional process that we have developed over decades in this Parliament that involves select committee scrutiny.
