Mitchell MarkHon MARK MITCHELL (National—Whangaparāoa): Firstly can I just acknowledge the previous speaker Tāmati Coffey's comments around the amazing mountain biking in Rotorua. As the secretary of the inaugural Rotorua Mountain Bike Club and having spent many many hours building technical tracks to the Redwoods I have to say that it is a world-class mountain biking Mecca. I want to acknowledge Tania Tapsell who's just become the new Mayor of Rotorua and of course Todd McClay and I'm looking forward to all of them working together to make Rotorua the world-class tourist destination that it has always been.What a soup sandwich on the other side of the House today. We saw Duncan Webb get up. He redefined possum in the headlights" —he didn't know what was going on. Carmel Sepuloni was rushing round doing some sort of damage control over there—I'm not sure what—but then she got up and I tell you what I bet you anything you like Megan Woods was straight on to her office after Carmel stood up in the House and she gave away their campaign strategy for next year. She said "The campaign strategy for next year is that we hope that people see through National." So the strategy is that they hope that people see through National. I've got some bad news for them. Have they heard of the emperor and his clothes because I tell you what I bet you it's getting very chilly over that side at the moment. People are waking up to just how poor this Government is and how little they've actually been able to deliver.Then we had Kieran McAnulty stand up—Kieran McAnulty. He started talking about Nicola Willis. He referred to her as "her" which by the way apparently is gendered language because in this House when I referred to Poto Williams as "her" I was pulled up by the Speaker—the then Speaker. Mr Speaker we're very happy and pleased to see you in the House. You have returned dignity to the Speaker's seat; there is no doubt about that. SPEAKER: Don't bring me into the debate thank you. Hon MARK MITCHELL: But I was pulled up for using gendered language for using the term "her". But I just had Kieran McAnulty standing in here the senior whip—oh no sorry he's a Minister now; he's an Hon—referring our deputy leader as "her" which is gendered language and then he finished his speech talking about Nicola Willis as well. It sounds to me like Nicola Willis has got some rent-free space in Kieran McAnulty's head.Talking about rent-free space what about Grant Robertson at their conference? Instead of standing up and celebrating their fantastic record he was obsessed on our leader Christopher Luxon. We lost count of the amount of times that he mentioned Chris Luxon. Chris Luxon appears to be getting rent-free space in Grant Robertson's head as well. Then funnily enough this morning on the radio on the Mike Hosking show which I do on a Wednesday morning—sometimes with Megan Woods sometimes with Chris Hipkins; it depends on who gets put up—Chris Hipkins as the Minister of Police said to me "I've be going all around the country visiting police stations and all the police officers are sick of you slagging them off to me." Well I'll tell you what I find it very unusual that the police Minister is going around all the police stations and wanting to talk about me. It appears that I've got some rent-free space in Chris Hipkins' head as well. I have to say that I've been to every district in the country visiting our police staff. We never talk about Chris Hipkins and we never talk about what this Government's doing. For some reason there's no appetite for that. Quite simply I check in on them and I want to know what they need and what they want from us if we're successful and we're lucky enough to be able to return to Government next year.Finally I just want to highlight the question that was asked in the House to the Minister today about how many businesses in Hamilton have been helped with ram raids. Sadly Hamilton would probably be the ram-raid capital of New Zealand at the moment. They've got this serious burden of ram raids and youth offending and juvenile offending. Do you know what the answer was from the Minister? After a big long-winded "Oh this business has been visited that business"—two businesses don't even qualify. Do you know what his answer was to how many businesses have been helped through their $6 million policy that was announced several months ago? The big red zero—none zip nada. So Mr Hipkins instead of going round the country and talking to front-line police officers about me how about you actually get on with your job you recognise that we've got a massive problem in this country with increased violent crime with youth and juvenile offending going through the roof and you actually turn your mind to that. You actually turn your mind to what you need to do in terms of serving the people of New Zealand because you don't seem to want to get out there and actually speak to them and meet with them. You actually turn your mind to supporting a police service that is under enormous pressure—the thin blue line is stretched to breaking point—and actually looking at what you can do in Government to fix the atrocious policies that you have put in place to create this. Thank you Mr Speaker."
