SIMEON BROWN (National—Pakuranga): Thank you, Mr Chair, and thank you for the opportunity to take a call on this title and commencement stage of this bill. I'd like to put on record my views in relation to the referendum clause. I won't be supporting this referendum because it's a cop-out clause put forward by the New Zealand First Party to cop out of taking responsibility to make the hard calls, to make the hard decisions, and to actually look into the issues.
