Kuriger BarbaraBARBARA KURIGER (National—Taranaki - King Country): Thank you Mr Speaker. I will acknowledge what the last speaker Angie Warren-Clark said around the dyslexia and special needs and we have welcomed that announcement but we are carefully monitoring its delivery because we would like to see that all that has been promised has been delivered. But that's not going to be the main focus of my speech today.We've heard a lot of comments from the other side of the House the Government this afternoon about the mood of the National Party caucus. Well let me tell you that the National Party caucus is just fine but we don't consider this issue around Karel Sroubek to be a laughing matter. We were subdued because we understand the seriousness of what is going on here. Starting right through from Minister Nash to all of those others that have commented on the way through we'd like to make it clear that we would like the Government to realise that this is a serious situation as we do. So we are not cheerleaders in some TED Talk; we are actually listening to the conversations we're listening to the seriousness of the situation and it is serious. When a Minister receives some information it's really important when they're asked to make a decision that they dig into the information and do the homework because sometimes the information can be complete. Sometimes the information may in fact be incorrect—not intentionally but it happens. It happens that sometimes it's misinterpreted and so as a Minister nothing should ever be assumed.We've heard the Prime Minister making statements about reading between the lines. We just think on this side of the House that reading the lines would be a good piece of advice. Reading the information reading the lines—don't worry about what's in between the lines because a lot of the time that's actually blank. Reading the lines is as important as anything and it might help.Now the other thing that I do want to touch on today—because following this general debate we are going to be debating the third reading of the Crown Minerals (Petroleum) Amendment Bill. This would have to be the worst case of not listening that I have seen in—SPEAKER: Order! Order! The member will resume her seat. It is absolutely against the Speakers' rulings and the conventions of this House to anticipate a debate which is on the Order Paper for that day. The debate happens during that debate and not before it. The member can't refer to it.BARBARA KURIGER: Apology Mr Speaker. So just to clarify it's OK to speak about yesterday's debate on the same issue?SPEAKER: No not if the member's talking about the bill—no.BARBARA KURIGER: OK—Kieran McAnulty: The member's a whip. Come on!BARBARA KURIGER: Excuse me.SPEAKER: Well I'm actually not the whip.BARBARA KURIGER: Yes thank you Mr McAnulty for your piece of advice. So look it's really important I think—and we're focusing a lot this week on the competency of this Government and the focus on information and the focus on how we receive it. It's very important as we go and we talk about what's been going on in this House over the last week. I've seen some legislation when Mr Stuart Nash also got up and spoke when we were speaking about the country of origin labelling bill the other night—I saw some interesting dynamics where Mr Gareth Hughes was sitting in the chair during committee stage and Minister Stuart Nash got up and spoke. Gareth Hughes actually said to him I wish I'd had a chance to speak to that Minister before he took his call." So when we're looking at three parties in a coalition Government where one person gets up and speaks and the other one says "I wish I'd had the opportunity to talk to that person before they got up and spoke." then I think it's probably a good opportunity to talk to each other about what's going on.I also saw some angry behaviour in the House the other night from Andrew Little around some members' bills—in fact Simeon Brown's psychoactive substances bill—where the Minister got extremely angry because the support around that piece of legislation wasn't going his way.So we've seen some really interesting and different behaviour from this Government and we're questioning their competency. We would like this Government to step up. Thank you."
