Kaye NikkiHon NIKKI KAYE (National—Auckland Central): I am pleased to speak in this general debate. I want to start with the quote from the honourable member Damien O'Connor that this is a Government that will be there for 12 years. Well what about the last 12 months? That for me sums up the height of complete arrogance and incompetence. This is a Government—if you wanted to mess things up—that inherited a good economy strong business confidence and billions of dollars for public services. How would you stuff that up? Well point number one: the first thing you would do is build a Government on false promises. We saw the Treasury papers in the last week. The reality is that Treasury are confirming what we have known which is that this Government cannot deliver on its manifesto promises because they were never costed properly. There is a massive hole. We see it in education. The Treasury papers confirmed this week what Chris Hipkins has not said to New Zealand which is that they are billions and billions of dollars out in education alone.The second thing that you would do is you would have huge indecision and uncertainty. This Government is now at 150 reviews. There is a culture of arrogance and incompetence but also of indecision and uncertainty. We see it with businesses. We see it with small businesses—are they going to get the workforce that they need in immigration? We see it around foreign investment—people don't know what the rules are. We see it in export education. We see it in the education area because they've got more than 18 broken promises.The next thing that you would do to create a culture of arrogance and incompetence and a bad culture generally is you would have a coalition partner that undermines you at every single step of the way. Well let's work through that. New Zealand First—three strikes—as Tracy Watkins said pulls the rug out from underneath the Prime Minister. When it comes to the refugee quota Labour is out there saying there'll be 1500 refugees; now nobody has a clue what the number is because New Zealand First continue to undermine the Government. Those are not the only issues but it's another brick out of this Government in terms of their incompetence and their arrogance.The next thing that you would do is you would create complete incompetence around Ministers and we have seen an extraordinary set in a few weeks. Low standards by the Prime Minister—Clare Curran already in the gun in terms of having secret meetings and not recording those meetings. She does it once gets a slap on the hand; does it a second time—you would think that she would lose her warrant and that she wouldn't be driving around in the VIP BMWs but no she still holds that warrant and is outside Cabinet.We obviously have that serious incident regarding another Minister but then today I confirmed complete incompetence around other Ministers like Chris Hipkins. We know—he's warned in December of last year about the legal risks in terms of the Waitangi Tribunal. There are Cabinet papers confirming that there are legal risks around the partnership schools policy and he proceeds to ram through that legislation puts his head in the sand and pretends he doesn't know what's going on. Now we have major questions to answer about Crown Law confirming they did have legal papers served on them but still he and his coalition partners ensure that we have to meet in recess and deliberate on a bill and not properly consider these legal considerations because of errors by Ministers and agencies.This is a Government that after not even 12 months in the role has created a complete culture of incompetence of arrogance and of not taking responsibility. We see that in the way that their coalition partners undermine them we see that in the 150 reviews that they have we see that in the many broken promises because their fiscal costings didn't add up and we see that in the lack of responsibility and leadership from this Government.
