Bennett DavidHon DAVID BENNETT (National): Thank you Madam Speaker. Wow! What did I say to the Minister to upset him? I don't know what I said. Was it because he had failed on Auckland light rail that upset him? Was it because the cycle bridge has been a complete failure? Was it because he cancelled major roads throughout the country and then had to reinvent them? Was it because he was reducing speed limits around the country because he can't fix the pot-holes? Was it because of his incompetence around this bill where he deliberately arrogantly came to the committee at the start of the year and overrode submitters saying We will get it done." And actually they are coming back now because he couldn't get it done? Which of the failures upset him so much that he had to engage in "little man syndrome" and go out and attack other speakers? What is so sensitive about that man that he can't handle criticism? Why can't he handle the actual fact that he is the worst Minister of Transport that we've ever seen in this country?Now I made the very valid point that in New Zealand we are in the Australian-Japanese car market which has hybrids as the solution for the environmental concerns—not the European car market which uses electric vehicles (EVs). The whole point of the submissions that came in front of the select committee at the start of the year were two things. First of all the rules you're setting in place won't work and the Minister said "No I can override that" and "they will" and here we are today doing the opposite. The second thing they all said was "You're using the wrong standards for the market of the cars that come here—you're using EVs as the crucial thing." The Minister interrupted me rudely in my speech and said that I didn't know what I was talking about basically and so I asked him: is it the European standard or is it the Japan standard? He said it was the Japan standard which backs up what I was saying. Then he had the gall to come and use his speech at the start of this reading to say "Oh he doesn't understand the difference between hybrids and EVs." Well I'll give you submissions here that show that in 2026 hybrids actually pay—they pay under this legislation. Hybrids don't get a free ride like the Minister tried to indicate to the House. EVs are the ones that get a free ride but we are not in the EV market. We are in the hybrid Australian-Japanese market. There will be a certain percentage of EVs that are imported but it's very small. But if you really want to do the environmental change you go for what our market is.The Minister has deliberately misled this House. He's got an opportunity in a few moments to come in and actually change that. Now when you deliberately mislead the House—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Barbara Kuriger): Order! During the first reading I said there will be the opportunity to ask the Minister questions during the committee stage. Please come back to the second reading.Hon DAVID BENNETT: We will ask him that question.Hon Dr David Clark: Point of order Madam Speaker. The member accused another member of deliberately misleading the House. He cannot do that.Hon DAVID BENNETT: Point of order. It's a matter of truth. The reality is that he deliberately misled. It's not that I'm making it up. The truth is that he deliberately misled.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Barbara Kuriger): No. Order! Mr Bennett shall stand withdraw and apologise. He is not to accuse another member of misleading the House.Hon DAVID BENNETT: I withdraw and apologise. He deliberately misled the House though and there's nothing wrong with saying that.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Barbara Kuriger): Mr Bennett your speech is completed."
