Seymour David; Mallard TrevorDAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): We are enormously privileged to stand and speak in this House of Representatives. There are people all around the world who would love to live in a society where they can elect their representatives to come to a House like this and speak for them and there is a quid pro quo for having the privilege of standing in this House. That is to use parliamentary privilege judiciously with class and with discipline for the public good as we say in the prayer at the beginning of every day that this House sits—not for our own private interests.And what did we hear in the disgraceful sleazy innuendo-riddled speech from Winston Peters in this general debate today? Well Winston Peters told the House that the reason his inability to fill out his own superannuation form got into the public domain was because my then partner told me and I told Jordan Williams. That is categorically untrue. I want to tell the House none of that happened and the fact that Winston Peters is prepared to say it using the privilege of this House but he's not prepared to say it out there where if he says it he'll be helping me finally get that home deposit—he's not prepared to say it at all.Unfortunately this is the kind of sleazy base behaviour that people up and down New Zealand have got used to from Winston Peters and New Zealand First. And here's the real issues motivating Winston Peters' behaviour. Well just today Winston Peters was found to have been using taxpayer resources at the expense of the taxpayers' objectives of getting research done in Antarctica so his friends could go on coveted tours to the special continent. That was going to be on the news tonight because it was embarrassing for the Prime Minister who said it was for philanthropy when there's no such policy and Winston Peters used the old dead cat bounce. Throw something on the table in the hope that it would overshadow the bad news coming his way. Here's another reality driving Winston Peters—the polls. What's the latest poll? ACT on 5 percent New Zealand First on 1.5. That's the real problem with New Zealand First—they are desperate and you know they're desperate because their plan is for Shane Jones to win an electorate seat. He's never won an electorate seat or any electoral contest in his life. That's the problem.And here's the other problem Winston Peters has got. He's been hanging around here letting people down for 40 years. And because he's done it for himself at every juncture he's never done it for the people of New Zealand he's left nothing behind—no lasting achievements that any future historian will ever be able to point to. Today he has plumbed new depths because we have a politics in this country where we don't attack people for their personal relationships. Winston Peters attacked my relationship with Rachel Morton under parliamentary privilege when it began in 2016. That's how low and sleazy he is. That is the cavalier approach that he takes to the use of parliamentary privilege and today again he attacked me through a personal relationship because that's as low as he goes.I want to finish by saying categorically I did not receive information from Rachel Morton and I did not pass it on. The real problem Winston Peters has is that if he was a little bit competent and responsible at filling out his own superannuation form like every other superannuitant has to he wouldn't be in this problem and if he actually ran his court case properly he wouldn't be paying back 300 grand. Winston Peters that's your problem; don't lie and make it mine.SPEAKER: Order!
