Peters WinstonRt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First): New Zealanders will know that that speech by the Hon Todd McClay was both new and true. Sadly that which was true was not new and that which was new was definitely not true. For example in February of 2016 at a casino in Auckland there was a sign-up by the United States. They left didn't they? Now they want back in. Why? Because we inherited an ugly duckling and thanks to my colleague David Parker we've turned it into an elegant trading swan. That's the difference. They say for example they stopped Lochinver. Right? Yes that's true. Did they stop 22 Crafar farm sales? No—22 Crafar farm sales off to a foreign company with no knowledge at all about farming and they did absolutely nothing. So don't come here and tell us this is the same deal they signed.I can tell you the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade's going through a renaissance of understanding. They've yet to realise like around the rest of the world that capitalism can have a human face. It can stand up for everybody in society not just the few and very few. They know in foreign affairs now that we believe in promoting policies that help every New Zealander not just some party's rich mates that put a whole lot of money into their accounts when it comes to the election. We all know what's happened in the past and they have the audacity to tell me that the Americans who left left for no reason at all. Why did the Americans leave? Bernie Sanders wanted out and even Hillary Clinton who began by saying it was a gold standard deal herself campaigned against it because she was surrounded on the left and the right by Donald Trump and all who saw that this was a massive challenge to the sovereignty of the United States as we who were criticised at the time said it was to us.And we have turned it around. There have been 22 changes and they are massively fundamental. I can say this: if we'd had people campaigning for us as a country before we got there this deal could have been even better. But we've saved every part we possibly could and this country owes a huge debt to David Parker and the insight of his colleagues as to why and how this had to change. So let's not have any more humbug about that. Brett Hudson: Hey Deputy Fletch when are you taking Ron's seat?Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: When am I taking Ron's seat?Brett Hudson: I'm just talking to Deputy Fletch.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: No no no. Unlike your party we are the image of serene stability. We don't go out there against the grindstone every night. I know they've been in a turmoil of anger and fury because they stand for nothing but their own personal promotion. I should have begun this speech by saying I want to congratulate Simon Bridges for becoming the leader of the National Party and the Leader of the Opposition and I wish him a long happy time in that job—a long happy time in that job. And given who's backing him that's exactly what's going to happen. But we saw all the conniving fighting going on. Not in the national interest not in the provincial interest—Brett Hudson: It was the backstabbing of Ron Mark.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: —not in the farming interest—no all a part of a massive ego programme best evinced by that member over there who's shouting out. Can't win a seat—can't win a seat any time.Brett Hudson: That's rich coming from Winston Peters who just got chucked out of Northland.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): Order! Could I encourage the member—[Interruption] Order! [Interruption] Order! Could I encourage you to come back to the motion.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: Yes. I shall remind him that I do hold the record for the highest majority in this country's history—Brett Hudson: And Simon Bridges kicked you out of Tauranga too.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: —90.28 percent—beat that. Beat that and open your mouth; otherwise keep quiet.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): Please come back to the substance of the motion please.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: Look I don't want to be arguing with a junior like that member. Next election he'll probably be gone.Pharmac was jeopardised. Our economy was threatened. New Zealand's ability to control and monitor its very land and housing was put in the control of international interests. Look when we got there we were shocked to find out from negotiators that it had never even been raised. Don't blame them. They offered on instructions but you had people in this Parliament and the previous Minister as well telling everybody like Groser that we couldn't do it—giving that view on high that it couldn't be done—and we found out they'd never even raised a finger for their country or their countrymen and women. It's a shame it's a disgrace and I hope that this debate finishes now because the next person needs to explain why we were sold down the drain.The indications are that prominent critics of the former agreement including the current administration in Washington are considering bids to re-enter in light of these improvements. We picked up a non-progressive non-comprehensive Trans-Pacific Partnership of what was 12 and then became 11 and we fixed it up and I hope New Zealanders are for ever grateful. You'll still get the critics because they will listen to the merchants of misery from that side of the House running around saying that somehow we have sold them out. Oh no you don't—quite the contrary. We went into battle for them in the most difficult and trying circumstances—a small country out here in the South Pacific of 4.8 million people—and we have been marvellously unbelievably successful.Go and ask the people offshore whether they think that or not. You've got other people replicating and duplicating our language now talking about values talking about the need to enhance the whole population. Where'd that language come from? The citadel of common sense the coalition Government in New Zealand.Hon Todd McClay: From Canada.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: That's where it comes from—oh no it does not. Oh no it does not. No no—I've read articles in the UK all sorts of newspapers writing about the change in New Zealand. They can celebrate change because they realise it may be the harbinger for change in their country as well and they hope for it around Europe at the same time.Can I just say we have a comprehensive progressive agreement that maximises New Zealand's export opportunities. Over ⅛ of the world's GDP will be opened up to New Zealand exporters. Now our beef farmers will have a chance in Japan. What chance did they have under that Government? What chance did they have for example when they went to Korea and they signed a trade deal with a 173 percent tariff? That's their idea of success. No no—we are a bit more hungry for change than that and we're a bit more demanding in terms of the people we represent. If we couldn't get the best for the New Zealand people we wouldn't have signed up unlike them—sell out at every point in time because there's some magical mystery.They are globalists; they're the National Party with a small n" and it gets smaller as they start feuding and fighting and as they fall below 40 percent and then 35 percent. That's why Judith Collins thought "I know what I'll do I'll guarantee that I can get 35 percent." And the "Crusher" is not mad. The "Crusher" can see what's happening so she decided to give a benchmark that she knew in short time he could not achieve. And guess why? Because more and more New Zealanders are getting to understand the background of the National Party which as I say was prepared to be globalist in their intent—to be the harbinger of so-called change that people didn't want—and that's what this election after all coming up in 2020 will be all about.We have preserved the rules-based international order we've got meaningful gains for exporters we've got boosts for the economy and guess what? More importantly all those cheerleaders and clarion call merchants of the previous Government are celebrating the achievement of this Government.Hon Todd McClay: Same deal.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: Oh no it's not the same deal. If it's the same deal—can I speak to some common ordinary sensible sane people? If it's the same deal why did the US leave? Slowly now—why did the US leave if it was the same deal?Hon Gerry Brownlee: Why does it want to come back?Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: Because it was not. "Why does it want to come back?"—marvellous question Mr Brownlee; I couldn't have put it better myself. They want to come back because it's not the same deal; it's a massively improved deal that protects the rights of the American voters to determine their future just like it protects ours. It's a marvellous deal and that's why I'm very proud to be part of the arrangements led by David Parker who went in to bat in the most trying circumstances—long hours in the morning unlike these guys. Not out at the restaurant celebrating at half-past eight; no going home at half-past three four o'clock in the morning—because we're used to it—and making sure that when we got on the plane to come home we had something to come home with."
