Simpson ScottHon SCOTT SIMPSON (National—Coromandel): Madam Speaker thank you very much. The only thing that that member who's resumed his seat the Hon Dr David Clark got right was the fact that he said his time was nearly up and it is. It's nearly up indeed because if ever there was an example of how bad and how unimaginative this Budget was it's the reference to the money that is going to be wasted at the Hillside railway workshops in Dunedin. We're going to be back at a time when back in the 1970s in the 1960s even into the early 1980s we used to assemble kitset cars in New Zealand. We used to try and think that we had a car assembly industry. Well that's what we are going back to at Hillside. We're going to have dismantled wagons from overseas and then we're going to put them together like some giant Meccano set employ a whole lot of people on sort of make-work jobs schemes and kid ourselves that somehow this is a great industrial revolution for Dunedin. Well it's not because like that project this Government's Budget this year has been little more than a flight of fiscal fantasy.And this is a Government a Labour Government—you know in the hours after the delivery of the Budget there were Labour MPs from across the House who were standing up and proudly announcing themselves as socialists. Well very few of them are doing it now. The Government backbenchers who have been speaking in this debate can hardly even get enthusiastic about it. They can hardly raise a bit of enthusiasm from their speaking points from their talking points to actually feel motivated to get out and defend and argue this Budget because they know it has landed incredibly poorly.Part of the reason it's landed so poorly with hard-working New Zealanders taxpayers who are going to have to ultimately fund the debt and the borrowing and the printing of money is because this Labour Government plans to borrow around $30 billion net in the next coming year—$30 billion. That's over $15000 per household—$15000 per household—in New Zealand over the next 12 months. And that is just the current year. Treasury projections say that Crown borrowing will be a massive $215 billion by this time next year—by 2022 massive Crown borrowing of $215 billion. If you think $15000 per household in the next 12 months is a lot of money well that sum for the $215 billion equates to $119000 per household. Now most New Zealanders don't understand how much is being borrowed printed and spent in their name at the moment. And it won't be actually most of the members in this Chamber that end up having to pay for it. That's the sad reality. It will be the children and grandchildren and great grandchildren of members in this House who will pay for it for most of their working lives. When I go and visit schools around the Coromandel electorate I see the innocent look on the young students who do not know what is being borrowed and spent in their name by this socialist Labour Government. I wouldn't mind so much if this socialist Labour Government was actually spending the money on something that was going to create intergenerational wealth something that was actually going to improve the long-term lifestyle and outcomes for the children and grandchildren of members in this House but they aren't; they are spending it on very poor quality initiatives.It was Bill English who used to stand in this House and he would often refer to welfarism as nothing more than managing misery. And that's exactly what it is. He would always say that it was easy to borrow money easy to spend money easy to print money; it's very difficult to make the right decisions. And we have a socialist Labour Government now who are determined to revert back to the old ways of the 1960s 1970s and 1980s—mostly to encourage their mates in the trade union but that's a whole different debate. But the real challenge that Bill English used to talk about was actually that the skill is getting people off welfare. That's the real thing. Growing an economy creating opportunities for real work—a thriving growing productive economy. There's nothing in this Budget that encourages business there's nothing in this Budget that encourages productivity growth and there's nothing in this Budget except added cost for business that will ultimately mean fewer people are in work. This is a thoroughly bad socialist Labour Party Budget.
