Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First) 
: 
 A very predictable sound is coming out of Auckland today and it is the sound of the chickens coming home to roost. It is not a pleasant sound but it is the day of reckoning for this Government. Someone in this duplicitous gang of political garbage collectors has to stand up to admit to the people that he or she was wrong. It is time for the Prime Minister and her Cabinet to beat their breasts from which the milk of human kindness has long ceased to run and to confess to their political sins. 
For 10 long years New Zealand First has warned of the dangers of bringing in hundreds of thousands of people from alien cultures and dumping them in New Zealand and particularly in Auckland. Pensioners are being rack-rated to pay for the follies of this foolish Government. The Government of course blames the Auckland Regional Council for the skyrocketing rates rises. But the blame for that rests fairly and squarely on the Government whereby citizen Clark and her cronies work on reconstructing Auckland in the image of Calcutta and Hong Kong. The infrastructure of Auckland is collapsing under the weight of Third World immigrants and students coming here to be exploited by both New Zealanders and their fellow countrymen. The people of Auckland can blame this Government for their transport problems the decline of their social services and the explosive costs in the housing market. 
Things are so bad that even the Chinese Government of all things is worried about the problems caused by the Asian crime wave hitting Auckland which the Prime Minister and the Minister of Police deny has been happening. Members should look at the front page of the  
Dominion Post 
 today. It is great is it not? The  
Dominion Post 
 has discovered that there is an Asian crime wave. [ 
Interruption 
] But that is the  
Dominion Post 
. We read of kidnappings killings extortion prostitution drugs and loan sharks all of which Helen Clark and her followers have repeatedly denied. I suppose that now the Chinese Government will also be accused of being racist for even raising the issue of Asian crime. The police cannot handle the situation. 
To be fair though two of the Government’s policy changes are really working. Hundreds of new Asian prostitutes are coming to work in the new Asian brothels that are being set up in this country. That is Lianne Dalziel’s idea of matching immigrants to jobs—jobs created by legalising prostitution. The Minister of Immigration the employment Minister and this feminist Government must be really proud of themselves with regard to what is happening to Asian women in this country. The Government must be proud of its feminism and of what it claims to stand for. This is its vision of giving Asian women a chance to improve their lives in this great land of opportunity. Let us not mind about the crime syndicates— 
Hon Trevor Mallard 
: Who wrote this? 
Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS 
: I am able to write my own speech unlike the member over there on the Government benches. Let us not mind the drug dealers the pimps and the other riff-raff who hang around that sordid industry. Those enterprising business people are combing New Zealand towns and cities in search of their new brothel sites. We are on the slope towards the Third World now and this Government is responsible for our decline. Normal New Zealanders are aghast when they look at the strange odd people who clutter up the Government benches and make strange decisions. 
It is time for a diet of sanity in New Zealand politics and we will force-feed it to the doctrinaire weirdoes over there on the Government benches as soon as they fly the white flag. Our message is very clear. Mr Hodgson said that the great lesson of politics is that if one does not stand for something one should not stand—and he is right. However the second great lesson of politics is that if what one stands for is the wrong thing then one will most certainly go. Today we in New Zealand First say to all those people who are hurt by this Government who are prejudiced by its policies in respect of race who are denied by this Government who are made poor by this Government who are overtaxed by this Government who are excessively rated because of this Government who are sick and homeless because of this Government and who are uneducated and unskilled and made second-class citizens in their own country by this Government that they should hang on and not give up. New Zealand First is rising in the polls and the Government will not stop us now. Help is on its way.
