MARK PATTERSON (NZ First): I rise on behalf of New Zealand First to address this Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Amendment Bill. New Zealand First considered this bill carefully, and we did note that the Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Act 2008 threw up some inconsistencies in terms of tax treatments and conflicts in terms of the charities involved having to file under different accounting standards. I won't traverse those, because the previous speakers have covered that at some length, but I did note there's a wide and quite eclectic mix of charities in these Auckland amenities: the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, WaterSafe Auckland, Surf Life Saving Northern Region, and something called the Stardome, which I'm not familiar with. We don't have a Stardome in Lawrence; nor do we have a surf lifesaving club or a philharmonic orchestra. We do have a pub, though, so all is not lost. But this bill does make life easier for these charities, and I think that's worthy of the member bringing it forward. Just in passing, we did note that the Hon Paul Goldsmith passed an amendment to the Charities Act that came into force in 2015 without spotting this anomaly, which means that we're here today having to take up the House's time clearing this up.
