Smith NickHon Dr NICK SMITH (National—Nelson): We know how defensive the Government has become when they start to attack the media. My favourite from Clare Curran was in referring to the article in the New Zealand Herald this morning that said that the nine years of neglect" had become a "tired cliché". Clare Curran said that was dirty politics. When the New Zealand Herald holds the Government to account it's dirty politics. Well I just want to talk about some facts after two years of this Government in what has been deemed the year of delivery.I'm more than happy to start on the area of housing because the big flagship policy of the incoming Labour Government was the 10000 houses a year or 100000 houses and we've got 286. Let me give you the percentage: it is 0.3 percent of what has been promised—0.3 percent. It's a sick joke.And then what about the one billion trees? Members remember the promise of the one billion trees? Let's ask the question after two years: how many of those are planted? Look I accept it is better than the 0.3 percent on housing. On the billion trees they've got to 2.2 percent.What about the 1800 police that my colleague Brett Hudson referred to? They've got 472 or 26 percent. Two years through the term—only a year to go—how many members of this House really believe the 1800 police in three years promise is going to be delivered? Of course it is not.And then I have a bit of an interest in electric cars—I happen to own the oldest electric car from more than 12 years ago. How is the Government going on its commitment that all of the Government fleet is going to be electric? Well here are the numbers: we have 78 out of 15473 cars—78 cars in two years and the Green Party in Government says it's a climate change emergency. They've declared a hundred million bucks and haven't spent a cent—but remember: it's a climate change emergency. It is extraordinary.And you know what? Here's even better and I challenge the member on this: a 500 percent increase in the burning of coal to produce electricity by this Government in respect of the issue of climate change.Then you come to the issue of child poverty. How are they getting on on that commitment two years in as Government? Actually child poverty by the Government's own measure has gone up by 15 percent in the first two years of this Government.Then my favourite from my friends from New Zealand First. We heard them year after year challenge the issue of immigration. The big promise of the New Zealand First Party was they were going to curtail immigration and the figures out this week actually show the level of immigration has gone up. There is only one figure in those immigration numbers that have indeed gone and reduced population in New Zealand: the number of New Zealand citizens leaving has trebled during the last two years.Then I just cannot note over the recess the meltdown that has occurred in the New Zealand First Party—disclosure of membership. We've not only had the Labour Party president go; we've now had the president of the New Zealand First Party go—claims of financial impropriety within the New Zealand First Party. That's exactly what the president of the New Zealand First Party said and I just challenge the next New Zealand First member to give this House some explanation. When you can't run your own party how can you run the country? If you've got the president of the New Zealand First Party saying they're rotten on the inside why would New Zealanders disagree?This is a Government two years in that is in a shambles. Both presidents of both parties have resigned in the last month—an extraordinary series of events. No wonder they are in trouble in the polls. This has turned into a year of non-delivery of which New Zealanders are sick of the talk actually want some action and they're not delivering."
