Hon SCOTT SIMPSON (National—Coromandel): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I've listened carefully to the Minister's contributions at several stages of this legislation now, and, as I did the first time I heard him, I remain utterly unconvinced of his argument. This is a bill that he has correctly identified as being an election commitment made by the parliamentary Labour Party, deeply connected to the trade union movement and their influencers. He speaks about the future and a bright and rosy nirvana for industrial relations in this country, but the unions want to take us back—back to a time when there was conflict and when there was disharmony and when there was even lower productivity than we have now.
