MAUREEN PUGH (National): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I stand also to speak to the Local Government (Rating of Whenua Māori) Amendment Bill tonight in its second reading. The National Party is opposing this bill strongly. I take the point that the member who's just resumed his seat, Paul Eagle, has brought up in this debate tonight, around 1.4 million hectares of land that is available for development that is Māori-owned land, and I have to compare that with the amount of land that is in private ownership by other ethnic communities, or other ethnic people, including Pākehā, and I have to wonder why this particular bill targets one ethnicity over another. I know we all want our land to be productive, but why is this particular bill targeting Māori-owned land and not all land? If we were truly looking at the potential of land across this country, we would be promoting the same outcome for all land that is undeveloped. I've got some in my backyard that, if the Department of Conservation estate would stop seeding it with gorse seed, we would be able to keep it developed. But do we have a rates remission proposal for that? Absolutely not. And I have to ask why. Why, on the other side of the House, do you not support all undeveloped land, and why is it particularly targeted at one group?
