McClay ToddHon TODD McCLAY (National—Rotorua): What a dismal disappointing speech that was from Mr McAnulty. In fact in just five minutes he was able to demonstrate that he knows less about trade than Willie Jackson knows about unemployment. Well actually Willie knows a lot about unemployment; what he doesn't know about is employment and therefore that's a challenge for this Government because Willie Jackson could be known as the Minister for Unemployment" very soon.To Mr McAnulty: it's good when you get the script right you read out what they've told you but look as a list MP you should leave and let the next person on the list have a go because it can't get any worse. At the very least give some of your salary back because I think the people of New Zealand deserve more than that. When it comes to important trade issues Mr McAnulty you've got to know who your mates are and when you read out the list of the great achievements of this Government in coalition and how you've delivered what you said it is that you would for New Zealanders you forgot that on that side of the House there is only one party that stands by its principles and that's the Green Party because they haven't changed their position just because they're in Government. They still oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). There are two other parties who actually are the Government because they're in coalition and the only thing that they might change faster than that is Willie Jackson's haircut. The reason for that is because the moment they got into Government they did what every single protester that turned out with them up and down the country holding placards against the TPP knew they would. They sold them out from the streets of New Zealand up and down the country. But they did what was good for New Zealand which is to support a trade deal the revised TPP that largely is not changed from the one that they had voted against not so long ago when they were on this side of the House. So you've got to give them credit there. You've got to give New Zealand First credit. They kept a straight face when they stood up on the platform and said "It's the worst deal we've ever seen." and they kept a straight face when they tried to pretend that it had been changed. So let's look at that one issue on the list that David Parker says they only got half right and that's the issue of investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS). So here's a question for the Government and Mr McAnulty as he's working out how much of his salary he should give back: can foreign companies still sue the New Zealand Government under the ISDS clause of TPP? It's really simple. You don't need to take your shoes and socks off to count this one. The answer is yes that they can; they can still be sued. Absolutely they can. Willie Jackson says "Not really." but that's what he used to say on his radio show before that lady came in with the dog and you were very quiet after that Willie when she came to get you with her dog. So putting all this aside the New Zealand Government can still be sued. So on that when you look at all the things they're going to achieve that's a great big fail except in one area. When it comes to a contractual dispute under ISDS over price for instance then you can't be sued but actually in everything else you can be. It is still there. That's a fail for the Government and it's really important that Mr McAnulty and the trade Minister and particularly Winston Peters go back out on those platforms and tell New Zealanders that actually they haven't fixed all the things that they have. It's very much the same deal. It was a good deal when it was negotiated by the last Government. It was a good deal when the majority of this House voted in favour of it including the Mayor of Auckland who was a member of the Labour Party at that time. So you've got to remember that Phil Goff who knows more about trade than all of them over there added up together crossed the floor to vote in favour of TPP. He voted in favour of it. He said it was a good deal it was still worth doing and he was supportive of it. He's not a man that ever had to give some of his salary back. In fact he was never a list MP so he had a much longer career than at least two of the people I've been speaking of. But here is the simple fact about this trade deal which is that David Parker stands up today and says that because of the challenges of what's going on between China and the US where they bring tariffs and protection against each other it's a deal like the TPP he said that actually secures a future for New Zealanders. And it did before; it did now. Of the 6000 pages of the original TPP deal there are about two pages' worth of changes. I've got to say to Mr McAnulty to Mr Jackson and to your trade Minister David Parker that after all of that hard work you deserve a lie down! Thank you."
