Dr DUNCAN WEBB (Labour—Christchurch Central): Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker. Look, I'm not even going to dwell on the retrograde do-nothing politics of the National Party when it comes to things as important as freshwater policy. But what I am going to do is I just want to touch on one thing and leave some of my colleagues to identify some of the other important improvements in this bill. What I want to talk about is, really, the shift in the way hearings will be conducted, particularly around fresh water. We know that the resource management process has got bogged down in appeals and in extensive hearings, and, really, it has been a costly process that, arguably, has been over lawyered and, in some ways, over engineered.
