Hon PAUL GOLDSMITH (National): I thank you for the opportunity to speak on this bill, the Education and Training Amendment Bill (No 2) third reading. National's not supporting it because, fundamentally, it grants too many powers to the Minister to interfere and, frankly, foul up a lot of the development of the early education sector. And I think all New Zealanders will be conscious of the fact that the early education sector is important on two levels. It's important for the opportunity for the youngest New Zealanders, preschoolers, to have some access to an element of education, to get them prepared for the compulsory sector. But it's also very important for families as well, so that parents with young kids are able to have those children looked after while they carry on working. And we're all conscious of the cost of that, which is very significant for many families—for all families. So it's a very busy, difficult time. Our family have certainly been through that period, like many members of the House. So we're very conscious of the need for the sector to be responsive, to be as affordable as possible, and reflecting the very wide variety of needs within the communities and within families across New Zealand.
