Mitchell MarkHon MARK MITCHELL (National—Rodney): Nine years in Opposition and almost 12 months in Government and what have we seen from this Government in terms of justice reform? Zip—nothing.Actually that's not fair—that's not fair. Let's think about the only thing that the Minister of Justice has tried to do and that's repeal the three-strikes legislation. And how did that go for him? Well he thought that he had agreement from this coalition Government from his coalition partners and he was all ready on the day to take the paper to Cabinet to have it approved and to go through Cabinet and all of a sudden he heard the revving of a loud engine behind him. He turned around and what was it? It was a bus. It was a big black bus with Send them a message" on it. And behind the wheel was the Rt Hon Winston Peters. He was bearing down on him cigarette out the corner of his mouth and you know a glass of whisky on the dash and he had Clayton Mitchell and Darroch Ball and Fletcher Tabuteau standing behind him egging him on with their Dirty Dog sunglasses. And here he was bearing down on poor Andrew Little. Where did he have to go? He had nowhere to go. What happened? Straight under the bus—straight under the bus and over the top.I just put it to the Labour caucus because I know for a fact that the Labour caucus—Kris Faafoi especially—Hon Kris Faafoi: Ha ha! Stop name dropping.Hon MARK MITCHELL: Kris Faafoi especially is not happy about this. How do you think they feel having their justice Minister thrown under the bus driven over the top of by their coalition partner? Imagine how we would feel as the National Party if that happened to our justice Minister. Oh no that's right; it wouldn't happen would it? And just as—Hon Kris Faafoi: When are you starting a new party?Hon MARK MITCHELL: —and just as Andrew Little's getting up and dusting himself off and picking the asphalt out of his beard and—Hon Kris Faafoi: How's the new party going?SPEAKER: Order! Order! The member will resume his seat. The Hon Kris Faafoi: interjections are meant to be rare reasonable and witty and not draw the Speaker into them. The member failed on all three counts.Hon MARK MITCHELL: Thank you Mr Speaker. It's a bit like that in the Parliamentary Rugby Team changing sheds as well but he always gives it a good effort.He's just dusted himself off. He's picked a bit of asphalt out. He's just thinking that he's got over having been put under the bus and he turns around and all of a sudden there's a big red bus. The big red bus drives straight over the top of him. Under he goes. And just as he's going under the grill he looks up and a big tear wells up in his eye because he sees the driver of the bus is the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern. She's sitting there behind the wheel and bang over she goes—boom! The reason for that is because the only other thing that he's done other than try to repeal the three-strikes legislation which failed miserably is he decided to deliver a justice summit—a justice summit that he told us was going to cost $700000. I thought that was a bit excessive. I thought that was still $1000 per participant and that was a bit excessive.Hon Willie Jackson: You had lunch.Hon MARK MITCHELL: Oh I had lunch? Who's saying that? Oh the Hon Willie Jackson says I had lunch. Actually let me correct you on that. I had a green tea but I wish I had had some lunch now that I have found out that it was $2500 a head to attend the justice summit.Mike Williams—the great bastion of the Labour Party Mike Williams—wrote a column last week saying that my view on the justice reforms was disgusting because I'm advocating for victims and I'm saying that public safety should always be at the forefront of any justice reform that's done. And then he goes on to say "You know what? Mark Mitchell wasn't even at the justice forum." Well if he had just looked up he would have seen that I led the pōwhiri with Andrew Little. And if he'd actually been there he would have realised that actually I did attend the justice forum. The problem was the opening of the justice forum where the Minister Kelvin Davis got up and told Stuart Nash that he looked like Tom Cruise and then Stuart Nash got up and told Kelvin Davis that he looked like George Clooney and then poor old Andrew Little—I don't know Elmer Fudd or something like that. That was the opening.Then I was getting interviewed by Tova O'Brien. And while I was getting interviewed she said "What do you think?" And I said "Well I'm really worried. There's no real victim representation here. It appears to be a bit of a talkfest." And then what happens? Anzac Wallace jumps up out of the crowd as I'm being interviewed. And what does he say? What does he start shouting down on the main floor of the conference?Hon Willie Jackson: Utu.Hon MARK MITCHELL: "Too much talk". Yes utu; that's right. Utu from Willie Jackson. He says "Too much talk. Too much talk and not enough action." And he summed it up perfectly. All we're seeing is too much talk and not enough action in a coalition Government that not once but twice has thrown their justice Minister under the bus. They had rooms there for counselling. They had a reflections wall; they had rooms there for counselling. The Minister actually I think has got post-traumatic stress disorder. He didn't turn up yesterday in the House for a very important bill—SPEAKER: Order! The member will resume his seat. The Hon Willie Jackson."
