Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): In response to the first part of the question, I do not agree that the Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System and Children and Young People's Commission Bill will risk increasing levels of abuse or the sweeping of abuse under the carpet. The bill includes specific provisions that set out a duty for the Monitor to act independently. The bill proposes a statutory officer model, statutory reporting requirements, power to require information, powers of entry, and a limit on Ministers' ability to direct the Monitor. The Monitor can escalate matters at their discretion to the entire Parliament, to Ministers, to the Children and Young People's Commission, and to the public. In response to the second part of the question, Minister Davis and I have both appreciated feedback from stakeholders on the bill itself, and this has informed a number of pivotal changes to the select committee process.
