Parker DavidHon DAVID PARKER (Labour): So flat—Jonathan Coleman spelt wary" wrong. It has got an "e" in it when he uses it. On the other side look at them. They know the end is nigh. They are even hiding their polling their internal polling from their own caucus because they do not want to depress them further.Hon Simon Bridges: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. This is Parliament not the Comedy Club.Mr SPEAKER: And that is certainly not a legitimate point of order. It has always been a robust debate and I am looking forward to the contribution.Hon DAVID PARKER: Thank you Mr Speaker. You know that intervention—that is another example. National has the unmistakable smell of a dying Government. There is nothing those members can do about it. The game is up. No matter how many billions they spray around and no matter how much scaremongering they do they know it is over. They know there is a new Government coming that is excited and energetic. It is a new Government led by Jacinda Ardern who represents the future—the future—not the past.To voters the contrast shouts out every day. Every day they see burnt-out and tired Ministers lashing out in desperation and frustration but it is not working—it is not working. The tide has turned. There is nothing they can do about it. They are like King Canute—the tide is going to run over them.After 9 years National has had a good run. It has had a good run and we should thank those members for some of the good things that they have done. But it is inevitable—the end is upon them. We should be thanking them for their service and everyone should now be preparing for the new Labour-led Government and the new New Zealand that Jacinda and her team will build.The only thing that National members have left is fearmongering and scaremongering. Just like their hero Muldoon who came out with the dancing Cossacks and was flinging around the bribes and the falsehoods—just as that did not save him at the end it is not going to save them either.Let us look at where we are. Child poverty is a national shame. People living in vans and under bushes is a national shame. People living in pain and under the threat of death is a national tragedy. The unswimmable rivers are a national disgrace. New Zealanders know we can be better than this. They know we can do this. They know we can build houses we can ban foreign buyers and we can invest in our people. We can invest in our hospitals which are overstretched and understaffed. We can clean up our rivers.In the last week nothing has been clearer than what those members did in respect of water. We announced our water policy and they threw everything at it. They scaremongered and they misled. Do you know what they did? They amplified our win. They do not know what to do. They are flailing around. One week they are possums in the headlights stuck and not knowing how to react to Jacinda Ardern and the next week they flail around.What did they say? The exaggeration—well it made them look foolish. Let us list them. Nathan Guy said it would cost $75 extra for each bottle of wine. What was the answer? One or two cents. They said there would be $18 cabbages. Nick Smith said there would be $600 billion in royalties—twice New Zealand's GDP. How foolish. Then we had the somewhat sad spectacle of the Hon Christopher Finlayson—who has a proud record on Treaty matters—scaremongering and that did not work either. Those members amped things up and so did their surrogates—the irrigators and the water bottlers—who do not think they should contribute to the clean-up of our rivers. They think that other people should pay for the clean-up.Voters are going to have a clear choice at this election. They can choose the future or they can choose the past. In the last day—under Jacinda Ardern—we have been under attack in respect of these Australian issues. We did not cause the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia to be a New Zealander we did not cause Australians to have prejudice against New Zealand citizens we did not cause that information to be known to the Australian media and we did not cause Julie Bishop to overreact but by goodness what another test for Jacinda Ardern and she passed. She passed with flying colours. We are ready for a change of Government led by Jacinda Ardern: "Let's do this.""
