3. Question No. 3—Prime MinisterCHLÖE SWARBRICK (Co-Leader—Green) to the Prime MinisterQuestion No. 3—Prime Minister3. CHLÖE SWARBRICK (Co-Leader—Green) to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by all of his Government's statements and actions?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON (Prime Minister): Yes and especially this Government's action to enable more energy investment and to fight climate change. We need more gas and more renewable energy if we want to fight climate change and grow our economy. And now our Government is taking action to achieve exactly that. We are ending the broken ban on offshore gas exploration we are bringing in fast track to enable more investment in renewables and we won't beat climate change by importing more coal from offshore while making it so hard to build a new wind farm or a solar farm. So I'd say to that member if she's sick of the bumper stickers and slogans and actually wants to fight climate change get on board.Chlöe Swarbrick: Does he stand by his statement we know that … the promise and the obligations of the Treaty were not upheld by the Crown." and if so can he outline what those promises and obligations are by defining article 1 of Te Tiriti o Waitangi?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: Again in answer to the first part of the question yes.Chlöe Swarbrick: How would the Prime Minister define article 2 of Te Tiriti o Waitangi?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: I'm well aware of the articles; I don't think I need to define them for you here in this House.Chlöe Swarbrick: How would the Prime Minister define article 3 of Te Tiriti o Waitangi?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: Equal citizenship for all.SPEAKER: Supplementary question the Rt Hon Winston Peters—and we'll hear it in silence.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Before the Prime Minister hears the Green Party's version of the Treaty of Waitangi will he take time out to see what the most famous Māori politician in this country—he got a law degree in record time being European or Māori to get a law degree in two years flat—thought about the Treaty of Waitangi when he wrote about it 102 years ago?SPEAKER: Does the Prime Minister want to answer that question—that was a question I think.Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: Oh sorry—that was a question?SPEAKER: Yeah.Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: Look I often have the history of Apirana Ngata quoted to me by the right honourable member. [Interruption]SPEAKER: Just wait a minute. OK I think we're right now.Chlöe Swarbrick: Can the Prime Minister tell the House what He Whakaputanga is and does?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: Again the member may want to get into this conversation—I just say to her on this side of our Government what we're focused on is improving outcomes for Māori. And I think it's incredibly sad that only 12 percent of our Māori students are actually at where they need to be at maths at year 8. And that's the thing that we should be talking about in this House and I haven't heard from the Opposition.Chlöe Swarbrick: Should New Zealanders watching be concerned that their Prime Minister is demonstrating a clear lack of understanding about the founding documents of this nation's constitution while progressing legislation at an unprecedented pace to undermine it?SPEAKER: Before I call the Prime Minister can I just point out the member's question asked "Does he stand by his Government's statements and actions?" The questions have to relate to statements and actions. You might want to just think about rewording that last question.Chlöe Swarbrick: Should New Zealanders watching be concerned that their Prime Minister is demonstrating such a clear lack of understanding about this nation's founding documents while progressing legislation—i.e. this Government's actions—at pace to undermine that very constitution?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: What New Zealanders watching will actually see is a Government that is focused on the things that they care about. They want us to fix the cost of living they want us to restore law and order and they want us to deliver better health and education. And if they're watching that's what they'll be seeing through this House."
