6. Northland—Roading Projects and Police ResourcingRt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First) to the Prime MinisterNorthland—Roading Projects and Police Resourcing6. Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First) to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by all his statements; if so how?Rt Hon JOHN KEY (Prime Minister): Yes; and by celebrating my birthday by having such a wonderful working relationship with the member.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Oh so he has become delusional as well? He has become totally delusional all of a sudden.Mr SPEAKER: Supplementary question the Rt Hon Winston Peters.Rt Hon Winston Peters: In Northland which of the 10 double-lane bridges he promised is under construction; how many metres of the Pūhoi to Warkworth highway promised 7 years ago or metres of the Warkworth to Wellsford highway promised 17 months ago have been constructed; and how many cell towers have been built as promised by Steven Joyce and himself 17 months ago?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: I do not have all of those details with me but if the member spent a bit more time going around his electorate he would probably see them.Rt Hon Winston Peters: That's the problem; I can't see them. Supplementary question—Mr SPEAKER: And I will have the supplementary question.Hon Member: Maybe you should pay a visit.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I have been there more times in one month than the whole time he has been the MP for Helensville and that is a fact.Mr SPEAKER: Order! I do not need the interjections to assist the order of the House from the right-hand side. Would the member like to ask his supplementary question.Rt Hon Winston Peters: How does the Prime Minister explain his 2008 policy of more police on the beat" as there are many fewer police on the beat per capita right now than there were when he made the promise?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: I know the member struggles a bit with maths but 600 more police is 600 more police officers on the beat—not to mention the changes in technology which have seen about an additional 300 extra police in terms of hours than they spend on the beat. There are more police officers in New Zealand and more of them working on the beat.David Seymour: Were any of those new police on the beat immigrants per chance?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Yes. We like to draw from all sorts of New Zealanders from different backgrounds to be part of the police force. In fact in the Diplomatic Protection Squad I noted the other day just to the group who were with me that all three of them had come from the United Kingdom and were there providing great service to New Zealand. I am sure that they would be police officers whom Winston Peters would support in his open policy on migration into New Zealand.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Enough of that boring crap! Supplementary question Mr Speaker.Mr SPEAKER: Well if the member wants one just lead into it.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Does he think that his Government is providing Northland police with the resources when the total number of burglaries in 2008 to 2015 was 17319 with an arrest rate of 3 percent?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: If one looks at the crime rate in New Zealand overall it has been fraught. This is a Government that committed to having more police officers. There are 600 more. There has been greater technology available to police officers to allow them to do their jobs more easily. As I said this morning over time as the population grows the Government is committed to increasing police numbers.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Why has his Government not given the Northland police the resources to deal with the crime rate increase of over 66 percent from these police figures given to us since he has been the Prime Minister?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: My understanding although the member might want to ask the Minister of Police directly is that extra police have been earmarked for Northland. We have added extra resources already this year and a further six will be added soon.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I seek leave to table a letter dated 2 August from the police themselves with background information verifying the questions today. [Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order! Can the member just describe it again for the benefit of the House and then I will put the leave.Rt Hon Winston Peters: It is a letter dated 2 August from the police—events selected by type code closure result code and year for Northland; pages of that including—well there are so many crimes up there but they are all in this list.Mr SPEAKER: I will put the leave and if it is tabled the House will then be able to decide what it is about exactly. Leave is sought to table that particular letter dated 2 August. Is there any objection? There is objection.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. [Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order! This is a point of order and I wish to hear it in silence.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Apparently Mr Brownlee demurs on the basis that he could not hear what I was saying—not known for diction himself of course.Mr SPEAKER: Order! Nobody has to give a reason for denying leave. Leave is put and any member has a right to deny it. It has been denied."
