Brown SimeonSIMEON BROWN (National—Pakuranga): Well the track record of this Government is a Government which is arrogant entitled and tired. This Government under the new Prime Minister Hipkins said that he would focus back on the bread and butter but what has this Government being doing for the last five weeks? Talking about themselves. Ex-Ministers—now sacked Ministers—and current Ministers are causing distractions from the real issues facing New Zealanders who are now facing another 50 basis points increase in the official cash rate which will put more pressure on family budgets up and down this country and it will put some people with their mortgages to the wall. Some people will be hit to the wall by that increase which we're facing today. This Government has lost control of the issues that matter to New Zealanders. They are completely distracted and talking about themselves rather than trying to fix the issues which are facing New Zealanders. Let's recap what they have been talking about shall we? Stuart Nash Stuart Nash Stuart Nash—been talking about Stuart Nash four times. Four strikes and you're out under this Government. They got rid of the three-strikes Act because they actually think you should have four strikes under this Government before finally you're actually held to account for the decisions that you make. Whether it's calling the Commissioner of Police his old mate to try and help out a mate or whether it's sharing confidential information with donors—information about what Cabinet Ministers have said around the Cabinet table—it is absolutely appalling putting it in an email. That is akin to insider trading—that is what this Government has been talking about. Then they're talking about Marama Davidson and who causes violence in this world. Marama Davidson's view of that is I am a prevention of violence Minister and I know who causes violence in the world—it is white cis men." That's what this Government has been focused on or Ruth Dyson who tweets about how she wants to talk about the members of the National Party leader's office and what they've been saying. Or Steve Maharey who has been writing columns; rather than actually making sure New Zealanders get the drugs that they need through Pharmac he's been writing columns in the Sunday papers. That's what this Government's been talking about. Or Rob Campbell—Rob Campbell—who should have been making sure that New Zealanders can get the operations they deserve making sure they get the treatment they get and making sure they can see a cancer specialist as quickly as possible rather than talking about his views on co-governance. That's what this Government has been talking about. Or what about lobbyists? Their mates David Cormack and Neale Jones and Clint Smith talking about their reckons on Twitter whilst at the same time making sure there's some cosy access being jimmied through the background and then they put a dead cat on their Monday afternoon about lobbyists which is to cover up the fact it's been their mates who have been helping them out over the last little while. So this Government is not focused on the bread and butter issues. This is a tired Government. This is an arrogant Government. This is a Government which is completely distracted and out of touch from the issues that are facing New Zealanders.So what's National been focused on? We've been focused on policies which will make a difference—Hon Kieran McAnulty: Like what?SIMEON BROWN: —for New Zealanders like putting a policy out doing local water well Mr Kieran McAnulty. You might want to read it because it might have a couple of ideas which you could pick up rather than your three waters bureaucracy mess which no one in New Zealand actually wants. What about Family Boost? A fully funded policy which is going to help young families pay for their cost of childcare and guess what! It's fully funded by cutting out some of the number of wasteful consultants which has ballooned under this Government. This Government is the Government for bureaucrats and consultants not the Government for families and making sure that they can deal with the cost of living. What about Teaching the Basics Brilliantly? That's our other policy. Making sure our children have one hour a day of reading writing and maths—how revolutionary would that be? It's about focusing on our future generations. Parents up and down this country are so grateful that the National Party is talking about solutions for the future which will help their young people have the future skills that they need. Or Electrify NZ which is going to help make sure that we have the clean renewable energy that we need to electrify our economy? We're going to lower inflation. We're going to lift incomes for all New Zealanders. National will build the infrastructure that New Zealand needs. We will restore law and order which has gone backwards under this Government. We'll make sure New Zealanders have access to the health and education services that they need. New Zealanders need change in this election. New Zealanders will get change from a National Government and we will not only give it; we will deliver it."
