Hon PAUL GOLDSMITH (National): Thank you, Mr Speaker. The National Party opposes this piece of legislation. This Government seems to live in a fantasy world where you can keep passing laws to offer another public holiday, double sick leave entitlement, now offer another half a day off a year to go to school interviews, thinking that it would have no cost and everybody would be happy. Well, unfortunately, the people that are operating a small business—a little cafe or a bookshop—and dealing with the difficulties of keeping afloat in business are having to foot the bill. And this is something that isn't a problem that needs fixing. Schools and parents are quite capable of organising things so that they can arrange for parents to be able to come along to meetings. They've been doing it for decades, and they generally have opportunities outside working hours and flexibility in the system so that they can arrange to do it. Schools have been doing it for decades, they continue to do it; my schools do it. So this is another case of Labour pushing unnecessary cost and regulation without presenting any evidence whatsoever—no evidence whatsoever—of the problem that they're trying to solve.
