NATHAN GUY (National) 
: 
 It was interesting to hear the New Zealand First member have a wee chat and not even mention the $160000 that his party owes. We are all interested in finding out from Mr Paraone when he is going to pay the $160000. [ 
Interruption 
] Another legal opinion! We will wait to see when and whether New Zealand First pays back the $160000. 
It is interesting that members have talked about the Labour Party conference this weekend being all-inclusive. We have heard from Mrs Mahoney about that but I read with interest today in the newspaper that Taito Phillip Field has not been invited. I cannot see how it will actually be all-inclusive when right now Labour Party members are selecting who will be allowed through the door. 
Here we have a party the Labour Party that does not listen to advice. Its members were warned by the Chief Electoral Officer and by the Auditor-General about their election spending. They were rorting the system in 1999 2002 and 2005 and they stole those elections. On the bottom of the pledge card brochure in 1999 there is a quote from Helen Clark: “This card was paid for and delivered by Labour supporters.” Yet on  
Close Up 
 on Thursday 12 October the Prime Minister fronted up and said Labour had made no attempt to hide that the card had parliamentary funding. So here we have an example of the double standards that will bring the Labour Party and this Government down. The Auditor-General needs to be commended; Mr Brady hung tough. He was worked over by “H1” Helen Clark and “H2” Heather Simpson. He was worked over by both them but he hung tough. Well done to the Auditor-General. 
It was interesting to read the article on the weekend by Anthony Hubbard in which he termed Helen Clark “H1” and Heather Simpson “H2”. He wrote that Ms Simpson was the bulldozer and the Prime Minister was pulling the levers. Being experienced with bulldozer driving on our property I was thinking that that would not be a pretty sight would it—Helen Clark pulling the levers while sitting on top of Heather Simpson the bulldozer. 
Anyway I just want to know from some of the back-benchers how they feel about having to pay back $6000. How do you feel about that? 
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson) 
: The member is bringing the Speaker into the debate. 
NATHAN GUY 
: How does Sue Mahoney feel about paying back $6000? 
Sue Moroney 
: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. The member is not using my proper name. If he is going to refer to me I would like that to occur. He can pay back the GST at the same time. 
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson) 
: The member’s name is Moroney. The member has said it twice incorrectly. 
NATHAN GUY 
: How does one of the new members on the Labour back bench feel about having to pay back $6000? How does the member for New Plymouth Mr Duynhoven feel about paying? What is the figure he will have to pay back? 
Hon Harry Duynhoven 
: You mind your own business sonny. 
NATHAN GUY 
: Right certainly. I would say the figure is about $12000 to $16000. That will really really hurt. It was a dark day last week was it not when retrospective legislation was passed. I was out on the hustings over Labour weekend and in contact with some of the key constituents in the Otaki electorate— 
Hon David Carter 
: Did you see Darren Hughes? 
NATHAN GUY 
: No no I did not see him anywhere. That is the most marginal electorate in the whole country. Those constituents were saying it was terrible that the retrospective legislation had been passed last week. I was speaking to strong Labour Party supporters and they have turned against Labour. So they will not be driving from Otaki up to Rotorua on the weekend to put money into a bucket during a whip-round; they will be staying put. They have had an entire gutsful of this Labour Party and they all know that Labour is on the way out. 
 While the strategist Pete Hodgson has been out there fronting up to the media and talking about the election spending he has not been concentrating on some of the core issues facing our country. Health is of vital importance to the Otaki electorate and to the people of Kapiti and Horowhenua. While he has been out there trying to spin the way out for a corrupt Labour Party in a deep hole he has not been focusing on the core role of a health Minister. Health is of great interest up in Levin; we have a health centre being built up there right now. The roof is on the sides are going on and $16 million has been invested but no general practitioners are signed up.
