SpeechDAN BIDOIS (National—Northcote): Never in recent times have we witnessed the incompetence of a Government than with this Labour-led Government. They are so incompetent they can barely organise a barbecue let alone a Government or an economic recovery.Kieran McAnulty: Oh nailed that one!DAN BIDOIS: They have failed to deliver for—yes that's right Kieran McAnulty—my community in Northcote they've failed to deliver for Aucklanders and they're going to fail and they have failed to deliver for our country.Let me talk about three key areas where they've failed to deliver. The first is transport in Auckland. Need I say more than light rail"? Two years ago or three years ago this Government promised light rail; two years later they've cancelled it. In the last election this Government promised the SkyPath and committed $30 million to the SkyPath project; 2½ years later not a single shovel in the ground has started on this project. What about East-West Link a really important project for the Auckland community? That was cancelled even though the Government then later committed funding to it and they've failed again to signal whether they're starting this project or not.What about workplace relations my area of expertise? Well again this Government talked up a big game on the future of work which is all around preparing New Zealand for a greater environment of technology and improved economy. They talked up a big game and the Minister Grant Robertson said that they'd been an active participant on how the future of work would take place. The business sector was excited and yet what have they delivered on this? Nothing. A Productivity Commission report came out—fantastic recommendations none adopted by this Government. The Business Advisory Council that was looking after the Prime Minister made some fantastic recommendations in this area and all but one have been shelved. This Minister Iain Lees-Galloway has been sitting on reports and working-group documents—whether it be the Holidays Act review documents around contractors—and they have failed to deliver in this area.I ask you: why is this important? Well it is important because New Zealand is entering a period of deep economic contraction. Treasury figures indicate that over 140000 people will lose their jobs in New Zealand over the next year and many from my community of Northcote. Yet this Government has failed to move in any positive direction to signal that they know what they're talking about.Let's come to workplace health and safety. All of us want to make sure that people come to work and go home safe in this country. This Government again talked up a big game in the area of health and safety. Iain Lees-Galloway said New Zealand can become world leaders for workplace safety if we get our attitudes and practices right but what has this Minister delivered? A report out this week—an independent report from WorkSafe—has indicated deep challenges and problems with the way WorkSafe conducts its investigations: not enough staff poor training and poor practices for investigations. We've seen workplace deaths rise under this Government even after you take out the sad tragedy of the White Island events. Workplace accidents have increased under this Government and this Government has failed to do anything about it.So the bottom line is this: for this election the choice is clear—if you want a Government who says what they want to do and delivers on that there's only one choice and that is a National-led Government. When National says and makes promises around housing the economy and the environment we will deliver for New Zealand in this area. We'll deliver because we've got a fantastic team of people who have come from the business world who have led financial crisis recoveries before and we're going to because we've got Todd Muller and the vision that he provides for the National Party and for New Zealand in the future.The debate having concluded the motion lapsed."
