Jones ShaneHon SHANE JONES (Minister of Forestry): Over the last week New Zealand has seen an extraordinary event. From the corporate cockpit of Air New Zealand we have a skydiver. Now of course skydivers don't ordinarily use Air New Zealand aircraft but where this aircraft flies the seats are all first class the caviar's rich and the air's very thin—so thin that the occupants believe they can levitate they can defeat gravity. As a consequence of pecuniary power they don't need to obey the ordinary laws of political gravity. Skydiving means you dive low low and just as you arrive at your destination you open a golden parachute and that golden parachute puts you right in the middle of a reshuffle.But we also need to bear in mind that the term reshuffle" can be just focused on as "shuffle". Now a number of us know the meaning of that word—it's almost Shakespearean. You know that great line from Hamlet: "in the sleep of death what dreams may come as we shuffle off the mortal coil." That is the meaning of Luxon's arrival: a total absence of confidence in anyone sitting over there a denunciation by Mr Goodfellow aided by Mr Key. In fact I have sought advice today as to whether or not the Ombudsman can assist me to provide access to John Key's emails with Christopher Luxon in Air New Zealand which we largely own about Mr Simon Bridges. I believe we'll link the three of them together.But of course there are deeper problems other than the facts. No one over there enjoys the confidence of the National Party board which is why they've gone for the owner of a golden parachute plonking in the middle. Now what else has happened this week? There's now a lot of animus towards Mr Christopher Bishop. He has snaked over 19 other people to go to his current position. I feel very sad for the person who's going to be facing me to do with forestry Mr Muller. He tried very hard to get them to agree to our way of thinking about climate change and what's been done to him? Cast aside. No greater enemy has been made in this reshuffle by Simon Bridges than that person who also has aspirations in that regard.But of course let's come back to the real problem that we're seeing on the other side of the House. They are defending the board of ANZ. That's right. They will not speak one word about those gross conflicts of interest. Now I won't talk about the chairman because my leader has said everything that can be said about that individual but what about Mr Carter? What about the self-promoting other directors? They know. More is going to leak. Time to open—I say to the board members Joan Withers and others—the corporate kimono and tell the truth because what actually gets you in corporate and political worlds is not so much the wrongdoing but the cover-up. They will not put one torchlight of honesty on what's been happening there—not one.Now of course we will uncover what has been happening at the largest bank. It will either happen because Mr Orr with his independent powers will open up the crevices shine a light on all those murky dealings or we will get the commission of inquiry that our banking sector obviously deserves given the gross conflicts that have been opened up. I know there's a lot of fear in that sector but I don't want the ordinary workers in the ANZ bank to be fearful—the people in the Wairarapa the people in Te Wai Pounamu the people in Northland. Although your banks are still being closed down in regional New Zealand you don't deserve opprobrium. You don't deserve criticism. It's the corporate culture that starts in Australia imported here as they have treated our banks as udders.So very shortly although that side of the House is predictably quiet we're going to get the answers that we want. So watch this space—time for honesty across the House and in the corporate world."
