Seymour DavidDAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Thank you Mr Speaker. I want to join with other leaders in support of this motion to adjourn Parliament. New Zealanders your property will be safe for about two months!I want to thank all of those who make Parliament work: those in the House Office; the cleaners; the security who have had a few extra guests unexpectedly outside this year; those in buildings; those in the library; those in Coppers. I particularly want to thank those of ACT's staff. People who measure these things tell me that ACT has the most engaged team on the parliamentary precinct led by our able chief of staff Andrew Ketels who would never want to be read into the Hansard especially if it was in reference to him winning the Parliamentary Service Leadership Award for 2021. Good on you Ketels!Chris Bishop: Ketels?DAVID SEYMOUR: Don't seem surprised Chris Bishop. He's doing a great job. I also want to thank my Epsom electorate team who serve our constituents my neighbours in the Epsom electorate so well including a very tough three months of a short sharp lockdown"—which we'll get to—where they worked and supported our constituents from home.Teanau from the Green Party told us that he had to guess the Spotify playlists of people around this Parliament. I don't have to guess; I have them downloaded accidentally from the Treasury website a few years back actually! First of all I started because Jacinda she had them because she needed music when she "did a little dance" and the most played song on her playlist was actually "Road to Nowhere". It was performed by the talking heads from the podium of truth. Her "short sharp lockdown" that lasted 108 days was the song that doesn't end; it goes on and on my friend. Some people started locking us down not knowing why it was and they kept locking us down for ever just because it was no longer clear. First we needed to reach 90 percent vaccination then there'd be a decision on 29 November. And despite repeated calls from ACT to just be done with it and make 1 December "Freedom Day" she left Aucklanders hanging in limbo.And as her lockdown went on her iPod shuffled on to Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold"—you're in then you're out; you're up then you're down. It's a shame that there wasn't a bit more Elton John on her playlist because it seems that for Jacinda Ardern even when things go terribly wrong in this COVID response "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word". But if she had a song for the South Island I think she'd be looking at the younger demographic with a little bit of Lorde who've been singing "I'm waiting for it that green light I want it." Grant Robertson on the other hand he's a bit more old-fashioned being the elder of the group listening to The Beatles starting with a classic "Taxman". He sang to himself as Treasury reaped in a record and unexpected $98 billion "If you try to sit I'll tax your seat. If you get too cold I'll tax the heat. If you take a walk I'll tax your feet." He's also been into a bit of Toto because he said "As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti Labour will tax you."We had two big oceans that buttressed our COVID response—one well known as the Pacific which protects New Zealand from all sorts of dangers including viruses; the other nearly as big is the ocean of debt and cheap credit. Over at the Reserve Bank Adrian Orr has been blaring out "Money for nothing and new staff for free." It's a revolving door over there. If the Government borrows prints and spends billions of dollars the effects will be felt somewhere and they're now being felt by New Zealanders everywhere—at the petrol pump at the checkout just about wherever they go—Hon Chris Hipkins: You're making Christopher Luxon's speech look good!DAVID SEYMOUR: It's a real shame that Chris Hipkins is calling out there. Chris Hipkins should have had some Dave Dobbyn. He should have been playing "Welcome Home" to the extra million Kiwis in the team of 6 million who won't be coming home this year but unfortunately Phil Twyford used that song for KiwiBuild and we all know how that ended! So you can understand why he wouldn't have used it.Kelvin Davis—he's a way old rocker. He's been listening to The Who and specifically "Who Are You" because we haven't seen him all year anywhere. But "Stewie" Nash—now he's the guy who takes off his shirt at every opportunity; even public health can be a reason! Getting vaccinated most people just roll up their sleeve but not Stewie he had to take it all off. And I think he had Carly Simon singing in his ear pods as he took off his shirt to pose for the vax photo. I bet he probably thought the song was about him! Now Kris Faafoi on the other hand the justice Minister he's been singing "I Want to Break Free" and he thinks it's a song for all the people who should be in prison that he's letting out by getting rid of three strikes among others. He definitely wasn't listening to "Sticks and Stones" because while he lets out the violent and sexual offenders by getting rid of three strikes what he's instead saying is he wants to lock up people who exercise free speech. He should remember back in primary school that names will never hurt me.Now James Shaw he's an old rocker too and he's been listening to The Clash. London was calling but a call wasn't enough; he had to actually go there. In fact he went all the way on to Glasgow and we still don't know what he achieved except all we know is he spent more time in managed isolation and quarantine than he did making up for the massive carbon emissions of taking a whole rugby team of climate crusaders halfway around the world.Now over at the National Party that's one Spotify list I don't have. You see their account was suspended due to copyright violations! And despite their legal counsel saying that it was "pretty legal" I've checked some of their press releases and their soundbites and their one-liners and they look mighty mighty familiar sometimes released within hours. But if there were to be a National Party playlist some of the things that might be on it would be things like Bob Dylan's "Changing of the Guards." My old friend Judith Collins—now she was exposed as a Miley Cyrus fan as am I I want to record and she certainly did come in like a "Wrecking Ball". But my new friend Christopher Luxon—well he's all Tom Petty "Learning to Fly" and good on him.As for the ACT Party well we've been keeping it Kiwi—good patriotic people. Some of our Auckland MPs got Split Enz during the lockdown but altogether it has to be said the ACT Party has a much more Crowded House these days and 2021—well for us it's been "Something So Strong". We've got Bic Runga's "Drive" in the other ear and we've been drinking more "Bliss" than ever in 2021. In our first term ACT has released a fully costed alternative Budget; six discussion documents on COVID the economy law and order and housing. Our team was united and hard working. We held the Government to account for its failing but we also showed how a future Government could offer New Zealanders a better tomorrow. And as I've said many times—and I've heard it repeated elsewhere on that earlier matter from the Nats—we're not just the Opposition; we are Her Majesty's proposition. Our caucus has taken to Parliament like ducks to water. With the help of our very able deputy Brooke van Velden kicking goals with both feet joined by Nicole Chris Simon James Karen Mark Toni and Damien—what an extraordinary group of first-term MPs.We're the party that's proposed cutting down debt and giving Kiwi families tax relief. We'd give Kiwi families that work full time an extra $2000 a year. We'd make the cost of living better for Kiwi families instead of piling on tax and debt like there's no tomorrow and for this Government and many of these backbenchers actually in politics there won't be—sorry folks! We could unite New Zealanders behind good ideas instead of constantly dividing people and dividing wealth. We'd contribute to a country where the opportunities for your children and grandchildren when the borders open will be greater here than across the Tasman. If we don't we will see a brain drain like we've never seen before. Mr Speaker if you're interested in some additional playlist choices from ACT we can find the "Land and Hope of Dreams" "Fight Song" "The Climb" the "Dog Days Are Over" we've got to "Take the Power Back". And the Kiwi battlers all of those being squeezed from every direction by this Government and its inflationary and incoherent and irresponsible polices we say: ACT is here for you and this summer and next year and every year. Don't stop believing."
