Volume:697;Page:16574. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]LOUISE UPSTON (National—Taupō):I want to echo the comments that were made by my colleague Anne Tolley because I was quite disturbed by some of the comments and behaviour that I have seen in the House this afternoon that were of a racist nature which I do not think I have ever witnessed before. That is not just the example that Anne Tolley gave of the comments that the Rt Hon Winston Peters made but the comments and the mocking of one of the National members of the House earlier in question time that were very clearly racially motivated which I found quite disgusting.In terms of this urgent debate you know members opposite are looking for an argument. They are trying to find something to argue about. It is somewhat ironic that we are having this debate on this day because if you look at Minister Judith Collins clearly we have had a situation today where she has reflected on a couple of the issues she has had a discussion with the Prime Minister and she has fronted up to the public. She has fronted up to the public on one minor issue—one minor issue. On this very day—this same day—that same Minister has gone out into the public and said what a stunning result that she and the justice team have achieved in crime in this country. I am a bit saddened actually that on this day all of those people whom she has led in those organisations have not had their contributions recognised today. Instead there are these kinds of nasty personal racist attacks that come from the Opposition. So it is kind of a sad day for me that we have to stoop to that level and take the time of the House on this sort of issue.If you look at the facts the Prime Minister has acknowledged in this very House today the enormous contribution that the Minister of Justice has made and will continue to make on behalf of hard-working New Zealanders.Andrew Williams: $55000 to the National Party.LOUISE UPSTON: There is a conversation or somebody is bickering and interjecting about donations. I am really happy to talk about donations. They are on the public record unlike some that the Opposition will not disclose. So it is the pot calling the kettle black. Get your story straight. The reality is that if you want to talk about donations get David Cunliffe out there. Get him out there this afternoon on the steps—Sue Moroney: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. The member who is on her feet just offered to table information about donations. I wonder whether she would be so kind as to table—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): No no. [Interruption] Order! That is not a point of order.LOUISE UPSTON: The very point I was making and I am happy to repeat it is that we have a Leader of the Opposition currently who clearly knows who the two parties are that made donations to a trust that he had set up to hide that fact. They are supposedly anonymous and yet he knows them well enough to know whom to return the funds to which is somewhat interesting in a conversation around inappropriate behaviour. So I would be really happy to see your leader out on the steps of Parliament today to talk about disclosure about openness and about transparency around having a situation where clearly he is quite comfortable. But no we are talking about “Tricky David”—“Tricky David” who will not disclose the facts.I want to conclude by saying that the Hon Judith Collins has done extraordinary work in this country. The results have come out just today. Hard-working New Zealanders are proud of the fact that we have the lowest crime rate in 33 years but that side of the House cannot cope with the facts.
