Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]RINO TIRIKATENE (Labour—Te Tai Tonga):Tēnā koe Mr Assistant Speaker. John Key and his Government of double standards—double standards. As my colleague Phil Goff said honesty and integrity are completely lacking on the other side of the House. For the uninitiated it means that there is one rule for them and another rule for the rest of us. That is the way that Government operates. There are so many examples that my colleagues have spoken about today. John Banks is in the dock. Peter Dunne has been stripped of all credibility. He had a brain explosion and would not let us see into the conversations that he has had with a reporter in terms of the leak of that Kitteridge report.They have been stripped of all credibility and they are holding up this Government. There are so many examples of this Government getting owned today: Kiwi political parties of one John Banks and none the party formerly known as United Future are holding up this Government. It is an absolute farce. The three amigos: Key Banks and Dunne. How is that for a triumvirate of trust? How is that for a triumvirate of trust: Key Banks and Dunne? But we could add another layer of a triumvirate under there: the three amigos of the Māori Party. They are all wanting to be leader. No one actually knows who the leader is: Tariana Pita and Te Ururoa. Again all of these pathetic parties are holding up this absolute sham of a Government.We are familiar with the Epsom cup of tea; we know what happened there. John Key did not mind laying a complaint with the police and sent all the powers in to find out exactly what the man from theNew Zealand Heraldhad taped. But fast forward to Mr Dunne and those 86 emails about a leaked Government Communications Security Bureau report and the Prime Minister blows it off: “Oh it’s nothing more than breaking an embargo.” Talk about trying to make 3-day old fish taste like roast chicken.That is what this Government is trying to do. It wants to try to make everything smell nice or taste good. Well unfortunately for it the public of New Zealand can see right through that. It can try all it wants but New Zealand has got a sense that its kitchen is not ruling any more. That Government is out of control and the public know it.Andrew Little: Same old mutton dressed up as lamb.RINO TIRIKATENE: Absolutely—same old mutton dressed up as lamb and I will get on to the primary sector as well because we have got very strong credentials in the primary sector. But I want to carry on because those three wealthy privileged men—Key Banks Dunne—do not care about the poor and disadvantaged of our country. They could not care less about poor standards of education housing and social welfare especially among our Māori and Pacific whānau. Banksie—Mr Banks—is trying to sell charter schools as the resurrection of Māori underachievement. This is what John Banks would say: “Go on you Māoris. Send your kids to a school that has unqualified teachers and principals.” and he has got the Māori Party tautoko-ing that. It is absolutely heinous. But you can guarantee that he would never send his kids there because Mr Banks and Mr Key and probably Mr Dunne do not care—we know that they do not care—about Māori.I really want to take the Māori Party to task because we are in the season of Matariki—the season of renewal and of growth. It was great to see te waka Te Matau-ā-Māui come into the harbour over the weekend. It is a great season but Māori Party members have definitely sold us out. They like to appease us with Māori words like “waka” “kura hourua” or “whānau ora”—all those nice words as if that will appeaseMāori. But when we know that the underachievement rates for Māori are going on and on under this Government we know that they do not care—they do not care.But we know that this Government is absolutely on shaky ground. It knows it we know it and the whole of New Zealand knows it. The rest will come out when the Privileges Committee hauls Mr Dunne before it.But I want to talk about a good news story. I want to talk about the Ahuwhenua Trophy for excellence in Māori farming and the great celebration there was up in Taradale last week. It was great to see Te Awahōhonu Forest Trust the Tarawera Station take out that award for Māori farming and also to see the other finalists as well. It was a spectacular celebration of Māori excellence in farming great achievements and so I acknowledge the team especially Bob Cottrell who is an excellent farm consultant who has been steering that waka there. Kia ora tātou.
