Bennett Paula: General DebateText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeBennett Paula: General Debate[Sitting date: 28 May 2014. Volume:699;Page:18402. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon PAULA BENNETT (Minister for Social Development): Well I think that was the doom and gloom face of David Cunliffe. He has got a few different faces. I think that was the doom and gloom face while his caucus all sat around him really feeling the doom and gloom. His caucus kind of sat around looking up and going: “Is this as good as it gets?”. They should seriously be asking themselves that.Let us talk about some of the different faces of David Cunliffe. We have got the man of course who puts on a lei and a really bad Samoan accent at the Avondale markets but by the way he does not like migration and does not want family reunifications or Samoan people actually getting their families here and getting ahead. But then he is the first one to go to an ethnic event. I have certainly seen him at the Waitakere Indian Association. He is the first one to say “Namaste” but by the way he does not support Indians migrants actually being here—skilled migrants or I do not know the 120 Indian engineers I met in Christchurch who are actually helping its rebuild and are playing a critical role in its development. That is another face of David Cunliffe. I bet my colleague Melissa Lee must have seen the Chinese lantern face of David Cunliffe as he runs around finding any Asian person he possibly can to get a photo with so that he can show how diverse he is and how in touch he is with modern Auckland and that beautifulmulticultural environment that we have there. But then by the way he does not support them actually being here. He does not want to see their families actually able to move here.Now he is in my opinion going for the cheapest politics he possibly can to actually try to get himself anywhere near the line. But mark my words: the other face of David Cunliffe will come out very shortly when he again runs to an ethnic group or to someone he think he needs to get on board. There again he will be saying “Namaste”. There again he will be telling them how wonderful they are and how much he needs them. The truth of where he actually stands has come out in the last week with the cheapest politics that I think I have seen from the supposedly biggest Opposition party in a very long time. We kind of expected it from some of the others here but quite frankly I think this is a new low.What about the other face of David Cunliffe that you see that he is in touch with the blue-collar worker? He does not like rich people—those rich people. He says: “Bill English that’s all you care about—those awful awful rich people.” But by the way he lives in Herne Bay and has a combined income of more than—Hon Bill English: A doer-upperHon PAULA BENNETT: A doer-upper sorry—a doer-upper in Herne Bay and a combined income that means quite frankly he is in his own words “doing OK”. I love it that he gets all uptight about a Cabinet club. We heard him a couple of weeks ago saying it was cash for access and it was the worst thing possible. But of course then he has got his own anonymous donors whom he will not disclose and his own anonymous trusts but then that is another face. Oh and he cares for the poor. We know that. He tells us quite often how much he cares for the poor. However his baby bonus is going to families earning $150000-plus. That is the kind of Opposition policy there is.I just want to pick up on the Hon Bill English’s speech. I think that coalition of the unwilling has just got—I did not think it could get crazier. I thought we were kind of there. I mean who are we throwing in the mix this week? Are we throwing in John Tamihere as the new leader of the Internet Party? Have we got Annette Sykes as the new leader of the Internet Party? I mean who is about to step up there?Hon Anne Tolley: Laila Harré.Hon PAULA BENNETT: Laila Harré—is she about to step up as the new leader? Is that whom we throw into the crazy coalition of the unwilling? Really let us picture what that Cabinet might look like. We have supposedly got David Cunliffe with many different kinds of faces; Russel Norman sitting there churning out his money because we have got to spend spend spend; Winston Peters who does not seem to like anyone except himself and he has got a good relationship with that mirror; then we throw in the Mana party and now its new leader who is coming in so we have got that party’s whole foreign ownership; and then of course we have got the Greens. Who else have we got there? I mean it is kind of a crazy coalition and these are the people who supposedly want to lead New Zealand. So while they are wondering about the two faces of David Cunliffe—and I think I am being generous there by the way—we are getting on with an outstanding Budget and actually celebrating New Zealand and all it can be.
