The only way that citizens of New Zealand have to contribute to the development of legislation that goes through this House is through the very well-established select committee process—the process which would normally take six months if we were going to give it justice. But, of course, the Minister of Justice doesn't see it that way, and sees fit to say to New Zealanders, "Your democratic rights are being truncated, and if you want to participate on this particular bill, risk your life and come to Wellington, and submit in front of the select committee." It makes absolutely no sense to us on this side of the House and, as we have said, not one person from the Government's side has been able to defend the position and the instruction of the Minister to the select committee to truncate their submission process.
