AARON GILMORE (National) 
: 
 It was the weeks leading up to Christmas and all through Welling-town 
Not a Labour MP was happy; they all had a big frown 
Conditions in the Labour Party were all looking so sullen 
Calls were made out of Te Atatu to call back “Auntie Helen”. 
With Phil in a mess not knowing where to turn he has even decided to recite a fable 
And bring back in the finance role a dinosaur called Caygill. 
It was no surprise given the announcement of their plans to float off SOEs bring back free fishing classes and GST-free rates for fruit 
Pity no one in Labour has thought about how to pay for it. 
Labour is working on the economic theory of pixies at the bottom of the garden 
While National’s numbers continue to harden. 
“No worries Labour’s plan will work.” says Nash with a grin. Everyone in Labour smiles inanely 
Despite no one in caucus understanding how to calculate GST even badly. 
“Do not worry Andrew Little has a plan. He holds his tarot cards closely which only goes to show 
Labour has no idea in 2011 where it should go. 
You see David Cunliffe suffers from a split personality; 
The public do not believe he has a solution for their malady. 
But still daily he stands on a platform preaching with gusto and preens like a proud peacock with a chest full of puff 
But when questioned on his economic voodoo it is all a load of fluff. 
Cunliffe does not know his Krugman from his Samuelson 
But “Don’t panic!” thinks Goff; “We will bring back Labour’s son 
Caygill deep from the past. He’ll solve it I am sure.” Phil crows. Meanwhile the economy slowly and surely continues under National and grows. 
Labour— 
Hon Darren Hughes 
: Did Cam Calder write this speech? 
AARON GILMORE 
: It gets better I tell Mr Hughes. 
Labour stands and promises that the world is flat and simple like some tricky game of monopoly 
But the socialists’ policy puffery and PR will not solve the economy. 
“Spend more on the masses!” the left squeals; 
“Billions of dollars are required.” they say. Shower billions on the poor for the wounds of the 90s to heal. 
“Soak the rich!” says Labour “They have plenty.” 
Ignoring the fact under Labour the middle class’s piggy banks were all empty. 
It seems Mr Cunliffe has forgotten his team 9 years in charge are responsible for our being in recession 
So much so there has been a procession 
Of experts and advisers telling New Zealand “Save more! You must change!”. 
But Labour is like an ostrich with its head in the sand; everyone who does not agree with them is just a capitalist and strange. 
The year 2010 to be fair has not been the best 
With earthquakes ruining my home town of Christchurch plane crashes and mine disasters—lest we forget. 
But the people of New Zealand are wise and they are smart 
Because 2 years ago they elected a Key Government which has delivered and given them a pleasant surprise. 
John Key has provided them with economic leadership 
The economy is growing money in people’s back pockets and they continue to enjoy healthy fellowship. 
With our programme of infrastructure investment innovation smarter public services education standards and tax reform 
The voters understand it and the Labour Party sits there looking forlorn. 
With seemingly the wisdom of Charlie’s Angels on our team 
Good ideas and the confidence of the people of New Zealand keep flowing to National in a rapid stream. 
So come Cunliffe come Parker come Mallard and King come Hughes and come Goff 
The public thinks they have no economic idea and just want to switch them off. 
As their policies are all voodoo and their people are leaving in masses 
Bring on election 2011 as our John Key - led Government will leave them all in tatters.
