Those countries that we aspire to be like, on average, are twice as sickly as us. We can expect New Zealand's sick leave to double. It's almost $4 billion for employers. We must treat apples with apples if we're going to compare ourselves with other countries and not just take the good bits. With any pay rise or leave entitlement or other changes in employee conditions, we must look at productivity to make sure that we can pay for it, and unfortunately New Zealand just doesn't cut it at the moment. We constantly compare ourselves with other countries when it comes to the minimum wage, work conditions, leave provisions but constantly ignore the most important factor that enables these countries to provide different conditions to their employees: much, much higher productivity. Ireland, around No. 4 in the world; Australia, around No. 17; Norway, around No. 6—we're constantly comparing ourselves with those countries. New Zealand, consistently around No. 28 or 29. To think that paying people more or giving people more holidays and increasing sick leave will increase productivity, which it must do so it can be paid for, shows a very poor understanding of business—and, unfortunately, especially business in New Zealand. This bill could well hurt the very people it intends to help, as has been mentioned before. Employers will look very hard before employing people with health issues, mothers with kids, and those who they would previously have given a go.
