JOSEPH MOONEY (National—Southland): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise as the member of Parliament for Southland to oppose the Crown Pastoral Land Reform Bill at this third reading. National opposes the bill in its entirety. It is our view that the provisions contained in this bill fundamentally change the approximately 73 year-old unique contractual relationship between the Crown pastoral leaseholders and the Crown through Land Information New Zealand (LINZ). This is becoming a pattern for this Government. It is undermining confidence in the farming sector. It is undermining confidence in property law rights.
