SpeechMETIRIA TUREI (Co-Leader—Green): Well it is great to know that Brett Hudson has got the resources—sorry; this is so bizarre—to swap out and buy a brand-new car for $20000 to $30000 because he thinks that he will now be able to use a bus lane. It is ridiculous if National thinks that being able to use a bus lane with your car is going to drive people to sell off their current cheapies and buy a brand-new electric vehicle just so they can drive in a bus lane. Is that seriously how National thinks people operate in this country? That is the craziest thing that I have heard in a long time from someone in National and I have to listen to you guys every day so you know it is quite out there.We will support the bill because it is this tiny little step forward. It is the most minuscule little step that National could possibly make in trying to encourage people into electric vehicles. There are so many other things that it could be doing that make it actually reasonable and feasible for people to be able to make the shift. One of the great things that it could be doing as the Government is shifting its own fleet to be able to help build the second-hand market in electric cars in this country. That is one of the things right? Lots of people would really really love to have an electric car and really do understand that in the long term for them there are savings both to their own pockets and their families' pockets but also to the environment and the climate and they want to make that shift. But these cars at the moment for most people are pretty expensive.So let us make sure let us do what we can to build a second-hand market in these cars. The fact is that one of the best ways to do that is to find encouragement for companies to change their fleet. It is those big companies—the Government included as a large organisation—local governments and other big companies that we need to shift their fleet into electric vehicles that will help to build the second-hand market and it is just one of those useful things to do. It helps to reduce climate pollution. It helps to improve the state of vehicles in New Zealand and it makes more and more electric vehicles more available to ordinary families who really would like to make the shift. It is these kinds of things amongst others that are actually being driven not by National with its silly little bill but by other organisations and communities.I want to do a shout-out actually to all of those communities in New Zealand that have worked really hard to improve and increase the amount of solar on the roofs of their communities. Where I live in Dunedin in Waitītī in this little community down there there has been a huge uptake in solar panels for example. The school has got solar panels on it. It was supported by a community trust for that to happen. Some of the businesses that run out of Waitītī have been doing that as well. There are normal households that are trying to do that because they know that they can help save money for themselves and also improve their environment and climate. There are people there who have got little single-dwelling windmills wind turbines—just little ones—for their own use. There is a community trust there that is trying to build a community wind turbine for that community as well. There is even a guy—this great guy—who takes second-hand petrol cars turns them into electric vehicles and makes them available at a reasonable price to people in the community. Yes. It is amazing. It is amazing what people will do when they work together because they believe in saving money in the short and long term and saving the climate and our environment.It is that kind of innovation that we want a Government to be supporting. It is communities like that that are leading the way on what can be done to improve access to electric vehicles—in this case second-hand ones—to make it possible for people to really be able to make the shift. Communities are leading the way in this country with the shift to clean renewable energy and technologies and then National members—with all the resources of Government that they have available to them—instead give us this tiny little bill that lets electric cars drive in the bus lane.It is a disgrace. They are gone in 80-something days eh? They are gone in 80-something days and New Zealanders can rest assured that the new and progressive Government of which the Greens will be a part will make sure that there are genuine incentives and opportunities for this country to make that change to a genuinely renewable sustainable technology that will save families money in their back pockets and save the climate at the same time—win-win. Thank you.
