Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]GRANT ROBERTSON (Deputy Leader—Labour):I moveThat the House take note of miscellaneous business . It is wonderful to be so popular on the other side of the House. Picture the scene. Picture the scene. Parnell resident—[Interruption ]Mr SPEAKER: Order! The level of interjection is unreasonable. There are too many bits of paper unhelpfully being waved at the back of the Chamber and that will cease. I invite the member to start again.GRANT ROBERTSON: I am happy to start again Mr Speaker. Picture the scene. Parnell resident and occasional visitor to the Helensville electorate John Key sits down in a room in his modest 15-bedroom electorate office to get an update on events in the area. He is surrounded by his closest advisers. He cannot remember any of their names and he does not know who they are. One of them looks like the Fletcher boy from high school but he cannot be sure. He makes a note for WayneEagleson: “Ask SaundersUnsworth who my advisers are.” He seeks to get a briefing on what has been happening in the happy hamlet of Helensville: “Any major developments?”. A hush comes over the crowd and a quiet voice whispers: “A German has moved into the mansion.” John Key is shocked. This is a development of considerable note—“A German in the mansion?”. First things first John Key says: “Whatever you do in no circumstances must anyone tell me the German’s name. It is a matter of national security. It is a matter of national security and I am struggling to remember all of the things I have got to pretend to forget so don’t tell me his name.”Then arrives the figure of Steven Joyce or as we shall know him from now on “Corporal Jones”. “Corporal Jones” appears yelling: “Don’t panic. Don’t panic. The Germans are coming. Don’t panic.” John Key sits calmly and says: “I normally get my list of overseas migrants. Where are the Australians? Where are the Indians? Where are the Chinese? I am being told only about the Germans.”In John Key’s Helensville it isDad’s Army all over the place. Well on this side of the House we say: “Who are you kidding Mr Key?”. He tells us he cannot remember a very large multimillionaire—Hon Members: Billionaire.GRANT ROBERTSON: —multibillionaire—German arriving in his electorate. He says that he cannot remember the man who put on the biggest fireworks display in New Zealand’s history. But he does not know because he is surrounded by hisDad’s Army of advisers. John Key is surrounded by Steven Joyce as Corporal Jones. “He doesn’t like it up ‘em.” as he would say. “He doesn’t like it up ‘em.” That is what Corporal Jones would tell the House.But you see what John Key tells us is that he has a mandate to govern. Well it is certainly true that John Key has been on a hell of a lot of man dates. He went on a man date with John Banks and he got a seat in Parliament. He went on a man date with Ian Fletcher and he got a job running the Government Communications Security Bureau. He went on a man date with the Skycity chief executives and they got a whole law for themselves. Man dates are what John Key does but someone else always wins out of them other than New Zealanders.People who are associating themselves with John Key have another problem. Those who go on man dates with John Key have a major problem: “PTD” or politically transmitted diseases—politically transmitted diseases. Every time anyone goes near him there is trouble. John Banks cannot even remember what day it is. He does not even know where he is. He cannot remember $50000 worth of donations from the German in the mansion. Peter Dunne has completely lost his way—totally discredited. And theMāori Party appears to have three leaders or it might have two and certainly after the next election it will have one or none at all. So politically transmitted diseases are the order of the day for anyone who comes into contact with John Key.But on a serious note tomorrow this House will debate the Skycity law—the “Casino Bill”—and there is nothing that is more of an emblem of this Government than that bill. It is a convention centre built off the back of problem gamblers; a convention centre that will add 8000 additional problem gamblers; a convention centre built with a dodgy process where the Prime Minister intervened; a convention centre built by selling off the laws of this country; and a convention centre that typifies a Government that works for vested interests and not in the interests of New Zealanders. This Government is a crony capitalist Government.
