Peters WinstonRt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First): That was a speech that that member is going to regret giving and it won't be before very long when she'll discover that. But let me just say what we saw today was a party that's in the middle of a leadership spill or in the aftermath of it and they have gone from indifference to actually plain weakness.As Simon Bridges was speaking today I looked at that backbench and I didn't see anybody getting ready to clap and they didn't clap when he finished. That was his first opening outing and he fell over at the first hurdle. What did he say? Look this man is all gel and no socks. He gets up and he starts making statements about for example Ron Mark. Well let me tell you about Mr Mark. We did do a review—that's true—when it came to defence procurement. The first thing we found was that there was a frigate upgrade blowout of $148 million. That's just one review. He's complaining about reviews. Guess why? The reviews are finding culpable hopeless useless incompetent parties. That's what they're finding. They don't want a review because these reviews all have one place to go: back to the previous Government and their incompetence. I want to say though that they represent most definitely the seven deadly sins. After Bill English you've got the caucus malcontents and they're showing awful sloth—just angry embittered like somehow We're entitled to power. Whether we can win or not doesn't matter; we're just entitled because we're born to rule." Unfortunately when you argue that you're born to rule you usually exhibit some class and I've never seen a party with less class than the current National Party. I tell you it's evidence that money doesn't make you somebody of status in society—it's living proof.The second great sin of course is pride and boy that pride's going before a fall or a number of falls because Mr English will be around—I'm sorry Mr Bridges. Apart from mangling the English language every time he gets to his feet and announcing dates I've never heard of—I've never heard of "Mo-arch" you know for the third month of the year and all these sorts of pronunciations. What was the National Party thinking of? When I saw today—I see only two people smiling or one in particular. And I won't say who it is because I'm a nice person.And then there's lust. Lust is an arrogant and haughty beast and far from subtle and subtlety is a word they don't know. It is plain crude their drive and desire and lust for power. As you know the old saying goes that "Resentment kills a fool and envy slays the simple" and is the National Party evidence of that deadly sin? Most definitely.But to carry on we've got two politicians talking about the use of helicopters. You know the only people who used helicopters in Auckland were the previous Minister of Defence and the previous Prime Minister but one. All were on a helicopter going to golf matches if you please. The very idea that he would raise it! "Yes but it's OK because we're National and we're born to rule. We've got a sense of entitlement." You look at their spending as Ministers compared with mine for example. It's a disgrace. I'm spending about a third of what they spent. No no they're entitled to it—unbelievable.Now you've also got the sin of sloth. They say the lazy are always waiting to do something—the lazy are always waiting to do something. That accounts for the rest of the National Party caucus—listless and rudderless and breaking down to probably five teams. Why on some days they even make Mr Seymour look good and that's really a condemnation. At least he's trying to do something.And then there's the gluttony—namely National's vanquished in their hunger for power. Mr Bridges should watch out for his wounded bulls and mares because they are seriously wounded. If you look to the left and the right Mr Bridges you will sit there and you will see a very prophetic sight of somebody's appetite and it is more than one person. We on this side of the House have a lesson for members opposite over there: there is enough in this world for everyone's need but not enough for everyone's greed—the further sin. Mark my words: during this term the members opposite are about to learn the difference.One last piece of advice: "O generation of vipers who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come beware the member for Papakura—it's soon her time as National's mum." Now sir that's free; you can sell it online if you like. I'm sure it'll get something. It's very good poetry. But basically what you've got here is a party that's in between possibly the next three leaders and they'll put them up one after the other. But here's the real point: not one of them could rate at 1 percent in the polls. Not even 1 percent or even a half percent. In fact no one ever suggested they would be a leader until they immodestly said they wanted to be one."
