Labour seems to think that you can achieve better health outcomes by putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats. As a rural Cantabrian, let me tell you this is not the case. If it is passed as it is written, this bill will simply make the system less responsive to the health needs of Kiwis, especially those who live rurally, and that is where I'd like to focus my comments this afternoon. Heather Simpson's report mentioned "rural" at least 30 times—I think 34, to be exact. This bill mentions it once—once. This is an extraordinary indictment of the Government's view on 750,000 New Zealanders, 15 percent of the population, who contribute 50 percent of our national GDP. In a stroke of irony, on the Primary Production Committee today, we have had the Office of Rural Communities in front of us. Their role is to pass a rural lens over legislation like this, which passes through the House.
