Ross Jami-LeeJAMI-LEE ROSS (National—Botany): Can someone go and tell Iain Lees-Galloway that he's way behind the times and he's got many of his facts wrong. It's a shame that Iain Lees-Galloway and the Labour Party research unit are still perpetuating this myth that there's all these buildings crumbling down around them at Counties Manukau District Health Board (DHB). The fact of the matter is David Clark was found wanting. David Clark's facts turned out to be fiction. David Clark ended up in a sticky situation where he was putting forth information to the media that was found to be wholly inaccurate. In fact I say to Iain Lees-Galloway that he should go and read the investigative reporting done on Stuff by Jo Moir and the fact is that Iain Lees-Galloway's colleague David Clark was putting forth information that simply was not true. Was there sewage in the walls at Counties Manukau DHB? No. It was four years ago. It was cleaned up with some water. It did not exist. Was there a massive building failure at Counties Manukau DHB that he wasn't told about? He was given the documents and failed to even recognise it. David Clark has a lot of answering to this House to do and he's going to be challenged on that I'm sure in the next few weeks. Another person that Iain Lees-Galloway talked about is negative—well I have to say Phil Twyford seems to be quite negative at the moment. He seems to be under a lot of pressure around transport. In fact a Minister in the Government has put out three press releases this week attacking the Government when he's only done one outlining positive things on transport. I should say sorry—he's done three press releases attacking the Opposition on transport because that's how much pressure he's under and I can understand that. I can understand that. Phil Twyford is the Minister that's ramping up fuel taxes on New Zealanders by 25c a litre. He's saying to the average family in New Zealand and in Auckland particularly that when they go and fill up with the fuel prices and fuel taxes that he's putting in place they're going to be paying about $700 more a year under policies that Phil Twyford is putting in place. And what's he saying to the rest of the country? He's saying to the good people in Southland the good people in Northland and the people in Rotorua that they're going to have to pay and subsidise Auckland's tram set—Kieran McAnulty: That's rubbish—absolute rubbish. JAMI-LEE ROSS: —because that's effectively what his policies are doing. His policies are doing it. Kieran McAnulty the people of Wairarapa are paying for the trams in Auckland. I challenge him to go to the people of Wairarapa and say You're paying more in fuel taxes. By the way we're cutting $5 billion from State highways—not going to happen around here. It's going to go towards subsidising the Auckland trams." He won't be able to stand up and say that because they'll be pretty unhappy and that's what we're hearing from New Zealanders. Iain Lees-Galloway loves that Colman Brunton poll. Which party was ahead in the Colmar Brunton poll? It wasn't the Labour Party and it wasn't the Government but it was the National Party that was ahead. If Iain Lees-Galloway really wants to follow the polls I suggest he looks at the track that the Labour Government's going to be going down when they put in place more taxes when they break more of their promises and when they have a Budget that's just doesn't live up to the expectations during the election campaign. We have a Government over the other side that is breaking its promises. It's ramping up taxes on New Zealanders and New Zealanders are not going to be happy by this. In the transport space we're seeing the effects that New Zealanders are anticipating with the extra fuel taxes. We're also seeing the effects that Aucklanders are going to be experiencing when they see very little progress happening under the Labour Government because it's all going towards that tram set. In fact the big policy announcements that Phil Twyford had the big roading projects that he announced like Penlink and Mill Road—they were projects that we'd announced. Simon Bridges in August 2017 announced the Penlink and the Mill Road project. He was the one that put them into the first decade of the Auckland Transport Alignment Project. Phil Twyford came out and made out it was some big grand idea but effectively he was just re-announcing policies that we'd put forth. We're also seeing under the fuel tax legislation going through the Parliament that Phil Twyford's been saying that fuel taxes under a regional fuel tax will only go up by 10c a litre yet he's writing a law for himself that would allow him without any vote in Parliament and without any consultation to go and put up fuel taxes even further than 10c a litre. Why is a law being written like that if he doesn't intend to use it? The only answer that we have is that Phil Twyford is being a bit sneaky. Phil Twyford's saying one thing but writing a law a completely different way. New Zealanders know that this Government seems to be all about tax. They know the Tax Working Group's going to result in more taxes being recommended and they don't trust this Government not to ramp up taxes on them. I say to the members opposite that are outside of Auckland go into the regions and go and talk about the fact that their transport Minister's ramping up taxes because I have to say they'll find that the locals won't be very happy. They should come back to this House come back to their caucus and outline very clearly for the Prime Minister and the transport Minister that they don't want new taxes."
