Edmonds Barbara; Brownlee GerryHon BARBARA EDMONDS (Labour—Mana): Today was an utter utter shambles of a demonstration of a Government. If members on the other side are looking for a new job they might want to try being a bus driver because time and time again today we saw the bus driving and them throwing each other under the bus. Let's start with the Prime Minister who threw his Minister of Health under the bus. And then the Minister of Health threw the board under the bus. And then to make matters worse—so that's one two three—maybe there's 14 layers of a shambles of a Government because then you had the 11 ACT members throw their coalition partners under the bus by refusing to move a pin and refusing to ask questions when they are members of the business committee. They know that there is a rule in this Parliament to respect the rulings of the Speaker. So there is one rule for ACT and another rule for everybody else—to show the disrespect. So we have 14 layers of a shambles of a Government throwing each other under the bus. And those members on the other side know that.Up and down the country we heard they were promising New Zealanders $250 worth of tax cuts and today apparently those tax cuts arrive. But are they $250? Go and have a chat to the pensioners who now only get $2.50 a week to the minimum-wage earners who get $12.50 a week.The Associate Minister of Finance today read a whole lot of feedback that he had received about tax cuts. That is the thing with this Government—they are giving with one hand and taking away with another. So I'm going to read some feedback that I've received about this relief that this Government is supposedly giving for the cost of living. From Ana of Auckland who is a second-year nursing student a Pacific nursing student—she writes to me What is even the point of me completing this degree when I am so uncertain whether I will get a job? A lot of my friends graduated in February and have decided to move to Aussie because they couldn't find a job. I have never been so uncertain about anything in my life and I definitely without a doubt want to be a nurse. I want something that will make my babies and my mum so proud. But knowing this Government has frozen new graduate nurses has made so many of us question: has this all been a waste?" What do you say to Ana of Auckland that nursing student?Well how about Charmaine from Wakapuaka which is in the South Island which I understand Simeon Brown is still trying to find. He says about the tax cuts "They're giving with one hand and taking twice as much back with the other." And he is absolutely right because you know why? In the last quarter rates are up 9.6 percent because of the choices this Government made to unwind affordable water reforms. That's on every single one of your heads. Those council ratepayers cannot blame their councils. They can blame every single one of you in that shambles of the Government sitting on the other side of the House. This Government is so disconnected from everyday Kiwis and every day I hear from people saying "I don't need my $20 tax cut. Please put it towards health; please put it towards housing; please put it towards education."Again insurance: another area that has gone up by 14 percent because of the choices made by this Government.And just in the last 24 hours the monetary report for emissions reductions. This was released and basically said that this Government is lumping the future generations of New Zealand with at least a $240 billion bill coming to 2030. That is what it's been estimated at. But this Government doesn't care. They don't care about the insurance companies and the reinsuring companies on the other side of the world who are looking at New Zealand. They need clear direction from this Government that they are serious on climate action. They want to see from this Government that they are serious about resilience. Instead what has this Government done to the Budget? They removed $6 billion from the national resilience plan so it can go and pay for a measly tax cut that won't matter to anybody.This Government is a shambles. It is 14 layers of a shambles of a Government. Shame on you.Mark Cameron: Point of order Mr Speaker.SPEAKER: Unfortunately the ACT Party continues to wear their badges in the House and for that reason they're not being recognised. You can't be in contravention of a Speaker's ruling and then expect to participate as you do.Mark Cameron: Speaking to the point of order Mr Speaker.SPEAKER: Well there is no point of order at the moment. There is no point of order.Mark Cameron: This is not at ACT pin sir. This is an ANZAC pin and I would be absolutely disgraced if I can't wear an ANZAC pin in this House to the point that I would remove myself from it.SPEAKER: Don't grandstand with me. Are there any other ACT members in the House with badges on?Mark Cameron: No sir there are not.SPEAKER: In that case point of order.MARK CAMERON (ACT): Point of order. Can I wear an ANZAC pin in this House? Does anyone take umbrage with that Mr Speaker?SPEAKER: No. Don't get clever because what I've made absolutely clear is it is party logos that are banned nothing else."
