RACHEL BROOKING (Labour): Thank you, Madam Speaker, for the opportunity to speak on the Crown Pastoral Land Reform Bill. It's a great pleasure to rise to speak on this bill that both updates the legislation to allow for a new and improved consenting regime and gets rid of tenure review. I am lucky enough to live in the beautiful Dunedin and spend a lot of my time in Otago and Central Otago, as do my children, so this environment is a place where I've grown up and studied in and where my children spend a lot of time as well. So it's a very important place and it's good to be standing here in this House and talking about the South Island. Five percent of the country is high country land so that means it's about 10 percent of the South Island. In any comments of the iconic nature of this, I'm going to be thinking of Otago but I acknowledge other members here will be thinking about their parts of Te Wai Pounamu.
