DAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Well, I rise on behalf of ACT, and as a member of the Privileges Committee that considered this New Zealand Bill of Rights (Declarations of Inconsistency) Amendment Bill to support the third reading and the passage of this bill and also to support the proposals that this House, which cannot be subject to legislation, should amend its own rules. Both of these courses of action are designed in order that the declarations of inconsistency which are sometimes made by the court have a place to go, have a process to receive them here in Parliament. Those declarations occur when a court decides or the Supreme Court finds that this Parliament in making a law, or this Government, has wandered away, has violated the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, has done something that is not consistent with a free and democratic society, or at least not a tolerable breach of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act in a free and democratic society. This all takes place in the context of a very young nation.
