Hon Dr NICK SMITH: Well, the core issue is: is this temporary law or is this permanent law? It's as simple as that, isn't it? The Minister has said it is temporary law. Temporary law has an expiry date. So is this Parliament to take the Minister of the Crown at her word that it is a temporary bill? Members opposite, I'm one of those old-fashioned people that if people say what they mean and do as they say—if the Minister says that it's short term, if the Minister says that it is a temporary provision, then it should have an expiry clause. Or I can only conclude this is just a cynical manipulation of the parliamentary process, that, really, the reason this is being done under urgency is because the Government knows it's controversial. And if it can ram it through Parliament without giving New Zealanders an opportunity to have a say on it, then they can get it off the agenda and just ram it through.
