JOSEPH MOONEY (National—Southland): Thank you, Madam Chair. Minister, I want to ask you about a point raised by the High Country Accord in their submissions regarding new section 100, where they said it's inherently discriminatory and contrary to the principle that all are equal before the law. They made the point that the fact that the offence provisions in new section 100 apply to just 150 properties and families is egregious. All New Zealanders should be equal before the law. The criminal law should be of general application and should not single out a group purely on account of their contractual relationship with the Crown.
