Hon TODD McCLAY (National—Rotorua) (remote): Madam Chair, thank you. I thank the Minister for some of the clarity he's given. The committee did a lot of work on this as the Minister and others have said—in fact, more work on this than many bills that come before the House. I actually want to recognise and praise the chair, Jamie Strange, for continuing to allow the Opposition to seek answers from officials so we could get it right. We, surprisingly, got a large number of submissions on this bill. Although there are many incorporated societies around New Zealand, most of them are very small and don't know the legislation is going through. We heard the idea of an incorporated society with only a very few members, with hardly any income at all; and, actually, what was happening with the original legislation as drafted, they were being dragged from a bit of legislation from such a long time ago, kicking and screaming into, actually, something that was fit for very large corporations that had a large income or a large amount of assets. And unfortunately what this would have done is place unreasonable burden through regulation and, therefore, cost upon these small societies—many of them would not have been able to meet; they would have closed. And actually that was wrong.
