Time machine needed, must be able to go through time

The ACT party has been in the wars a bit lately. Heather Roy got offside with Das Capitalist Rodney Hide and had to go. Then one of their "String 'em up" law quackers got sprung as a fan of Frederick Forsythe novels and passports for dead babies.
So now that they have someone in to replace David "1001 uses for a dead infant" Garret. They have a new star in their firmament, Hilary Calvert. In her first speech to Parliament, which many wish to rename as her Midden speech, she pounced upon the fact, sorry FACT!!, that greedy Maori type people could charge people for access to beaches that the government had said belonged to Maori what with them having used them for 600 years or so. Immediately the Gubblememnt backpedaled and bowed to the Randian laser beams that ACTors shoot out of their eyes.

She got the agreement of Attorney-General Chris Finlayson in Parliament to consider an amendment to the repeal bill to specifically state that charging for public access to beaches would not be allowed.
Finlayson has argued it is not necessary to spell out that charging for public access under the proposed regime is banned because there is no enabling power to do so in the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Bill. 

 But his answer yesterday indicated a change of heart and Hide made instant capital out of it.

But, of course, with the inevitability of a "Pancake wrapped around a sausage onna stick" not being at the top of the Good Food Pyramid, some one has leaked an email saying that the whole thing was actually set up on September 20.
Oh Dear

It is evident from the emails Hide and Finlayson discussed the issue on the night of September 20. Hide's office was told that if there was a question asking about a specific clause prohibiting charging for access to the beach Finlayson would say something like such a clause was not required but to avoid doubt in response to concerns raised by Act, it would include such a provision.
