Peters Winston: General DebateText is incorporated into the Bound VolumePeters Winston: General Debate[Sitting date: 16 April 2014. Volume:698;Page:17332. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First): This House has witnessed a disgraceful state of affairs. The Prime Minister allows a Cabinet Minister to abuse her position and then helps her cover it up. The Minister of Justice used her office to help her husband’s company during the Fonterra botulism scare. Along the way she has sucked in two other Cabinet Ministers plus the Prime Minister.It is obvious from the official papers that the Minister used her position to work for Oravida from the start. Oravida asked the Government for urgent help. The help arrived in 2 days flat. The Cabinet Minister did everything Oravida asked. This included providing taxpayers’ funds issuing statements and then of course a public relations trip to China—paid for by the taxpayer—by the Minister of Justice herself. Was it a coincidence that her husband is a director of the company? Was it a coincidence that a senior Chinese border official was at a dinner she attended? We know where the officialwas from and there was only one reason he was there. The reason was Oravida. Was it a coincidence thatOravida’s problems suddenly went away?Many other companies were in the same position as Oravida but they did not get the same high level of help from the Government. Other companies are still fighting through a bureaucratic nightmare to get goods into China—not only dairy companies but meat companies. We know that one New Zealand firm last week received approval from the Ministry for Primary Industries to export primary products to China. It now faces a delay of 3 to 9 months to get past over 455 pages of documentation to get goods into China. China has required all New Zealand plants and goods and brands to re-register following the Fonterra incident. As these companies struggle through the waves of a bureaucratic sea Oravida goes past on a jet ski with Minister Collins at the helm. This issue cannot be explained away by a series of coincidences. The Prime Minister is over a barrel. Do not forget that he is also the milk poster boy for a number of companies.It is time to get everything out in the open so that New Zealanders can see the extent of cronyism and naked corruption in this Government. New Zealand is being run like some kind of international trading company for the benefit of the National Party and its mates and to think that Minister Collins was in China boasting about our glorious corruption-free transparent Government! This is the same Minister who has been trying to block all of our Official Information Act requests. This is the same Minister who appeared on the APEC Women Leadership Forum. The forum of course was sponsored by whom? Oravida.We have written evidence that shows that 2 days before Minister of Justice Collins had dinner with her Oravida friends and connections and a senior Chinese border official Oravida attended a briefing run by the Government on China’s new guidelines following the botulism scare that was bringing Oravida to its knees. The focus of the briefing was China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision Inspection and Quarantine known as AQSIQ—the very organisation that the senior Chinese border official who went to a dinner with Judith Collins and the Oravida people belongs to.This is not a coincidence; this is a cover-up. It is a shameful scandalouscronyistic serious conflict of interest and worse still corruption. She said today that she told the Prime Minister everything. Well now the Prime Minister is in with her and he has been found out following double standards. He knows full well that the more we dig the more we will find and there is more information coming. We will release soon the fact that just 3 days out the department advised Oravida about the briefing. They attended it and just 3 days later there she is with the very same official from the very same organisation giving the briefing. It stinks and this Minister—this so-called Minister of Justice—must now go.
