O'Connor SimonSIMON O'CONNOR (National—Tāmaki): Thank you very much Madam Speaker. It's fascinating that the only claim for delivery today has been a waiting list that's approaching 30000—sorry a State house waiting list the only claim to fame by this Government. And of course because people—you'd expect it from me I have to mention Sir Winston Churchill because actually it's not just what's happened but illustrative of actually what is beginning to happen with this Government. So a man who fought authoritarianism fought fascism fought against genocidal regimes has been deplatformed by the Greens today—Hon Members: Ha ha!SIMON O'CONNOR: —who laugh who laugh. They're our modern-day iconoclasts loving their cancel culture getting rid of everything they don't like. I'd actually encourage them to go and talk to their Māori Party colleagues because they are out there at the moment saying Te Ao Māori has no place for labels." which I think is probably a really useful thing the Greens could go to because actually it doesn't matter that he came from the UK or he may have been a Prime Minister elsewhere. He was a remarkable man. And according again to Te Paati Māori Te Ao Māori which I'm sure the Green Party loves says there should be no labels. So that's really important. Oh by the way and more of just an encouragement to my Labour Party colleagues don't tell the Green Party to walk down the Speaker's corridor because there's a picture there of Michael Joseph Savage and they might get a little bit upset about elements of his history too.So really important. Why? Because this is just indicative of what we get from the left wing. It's about cancelling. It's about deplatforming. This Government is pushing hate speech legislation. They're passing a whole array of other legislation to limit what people can think and what people can say. It's funny how they go quiet all of a sudden; they know it's quite correct. As was intimated by someone earlier too they're trying to limit education keep that well in control. No place for private schools. Watch out integrated schools they'll be coming for you next because they can only be one source of truth—and that's Jacinda Ardern.Angie Warren-Clark: Scaremongering.SIMON O'CONNOR: Of course they still like their little slogans. I think "scaremongering" has been thrown. It's funny how the things we say do come true. The only other thing I'd quickly end with on this because I don't want us to all be about Winston Churchill but one of the things I've noticed is they go "Oh culture wars we don't want the culture wars here." Isn't it fascinating that the only people who say to us they don't want the culture wars are the side that think they've already won? Hmm ponder on that for a moment. So let's also talk about the fact you know deplatforming cancelling things—let's talk about the They Are Us film very very briefly. We've known actually—and I look after the arts and culture area and what's been absolutely fascinating is three sets of erroneous answers from New Zealand Film Commission hiding effectively or what appears to be hiding the truth of when the producers were in contact with the Film Commission. We were told it was only a few months ago. Then all of a sudden it was a year. In fact it turned out to be two months—two months—after the shootings. The most open and transparent Government ever and its agencies couldn't actually tell this Parliament through written questions—couldn't tell me and others—the truth until the third attempt. Then get this: we went to the select committee—myself Melissa Lee Louise Upston—and said "Hey we'd like the New Zealand Film Commission to come in and just have a little bit of a kōrero a little bit of a chat. We'd like a bit at a time we'd like it be pretty free-ranging." and it hasn't gone so well. We were limited to 20 minutes in total. The thing to really keep in mind there of course we're the Opposition; we only get 25 percent of that time and we've been severely limited in what we can talk about. The most open and transparent Government ever—let's pull down the paintings let's pull down the statues let's limit the education system let's not allow parliamentarians to do their job. Oh and by the way let's get freedom of speech in there. But hey let's switch. Let's switch from picking on the Government completely—no let's just keep going. I want to turn local. In Tāmaki in recent months—the best electorate ever. No this is great no one's complained about it. There's clearly consent: best electorate ever. Six of my dairies in the last few months six dairies have been ram-raided—six dairies in several months some of them three times ram-raided; often young people most of them under 12 years. A real problem—Simon Watts: The same on the North Shore.SIMON O'CONNOR: I hear my colleague Simon Watts saying "The same on the North Shore." We have a real problem with crime.Simeon Brown: What's the Government doing about it?SIMON O'CONNOR: The Government's doing nothing about this. Ram raids by children gun crime—there's basically a shooting every day in South Auckland. The police crying out the Mongrel Mob basically seeming to be running things. Was it $2.75 million being given to the Mob? We've got a real real problem here. So I just want to return to where I started. The Government has proudly delivered almost 30000 homeless. But I can also tell you in the seat of Tāmaki they're delivering more crime and more failure."
