Peters WinstonGENERAL DEBATERt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First): I move That the House take note of miscellaneous business.Today's debate is about leadership something we on this side of the House understand. Once so did National when they were led by giants like Keith Holyoake who stayed close to the ordinary people or people like Muldoon who understood the needs of ordinary people—not this ideological lot that's gone on since they passed.They've never been the same. You know you've got Jim Bolger begat Shipley begat English begat Brash begat Key and back to English again. They all learnt as Alan Greenspan said to mumble with great incoherence. And what did New Zealand get as a result of their nine years of service: inequality homelessness an economy propped up by rampant immigration and a property bubble a property bubble fuelled by hot money coming from all sorts of nefarious places. But they couldn't give a damn and so what did we inherit—inequality the premier symbol of an unbalanced economy and failed economic theory.As the New Zealand Herald reported the richest 1 percent of New Zealanders received 28 percent of all wealth created last year—1 percent got 28 percent—and the bottom 33 percent got 1 percent. The Ewen McKenzie lookalike can smile and laugh over there but we regard it as dramatically serious. This is not a rock star economy. It's not leadership. It's a dereliction of duty and the members opposite are responsible for it. They spent their time manipulating the Government's balance sheets while chronic underfunding happened in every area of the economy. Biosecurity roads rail hospitals schools foreign affairs offshore in the Pacific—underfunding when we needed to be stepping up to play our role. They're guilty of total dereliction of duty and they stand there today wanting to be on this side of the House.Can I just say this. What was their reaction to defeat? Well then by turning inward and fighting over their third different leader in just 14 months—their third different leader in just 14 months. Now to use racing parlance this is not a field with depth or breadth. After 12 years of English and Key you've got five candidates all with their hands up. Not one of them rates 1 percent in the polls. Five—not one of them rates 1 percent in the polls. They're all takers acceptors bludgers and bleeders of the party's persona. They don't build the party—no no. They just suck the life out of it. All five don't rate 1 percent.But you know just shortly after the election I started giving their odds out and today I'm bringing the odds up to date. At 500:1 you've got the member for Tauranga. Now I'll tell you why he remains an outsider. It's because he's the type of politician who because he never believes what he says is astonished when others do. Then when he announced his leadership he started talking like a long-forgotten singer called Little Richard. He started talking in the third person. Now when people start talking about themselves in the third person they have an ego problem. [Interruption] Oh yes oh yes. They have—[Interruption] I know; I'm a psychologist part-time. They have a recognition-hunger problem when they start talking in the third person. So I've had to take his odds out to 500:1 still.You know when you get up and you go to a meeting by yourself to announce your own challenge—all lonely—it looks like Well there's my caucus. I must rush after them. I'm their leader." George Bernard Shaw who knew about Steven Joyce's ambitions said "He knows nothing and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career." Mr Joyce has ended up in an $11 billion hole and he's digging himself deeper—[Interruption] No I can handle the polls. We create polls. Mr Joyce we don't bleed polls; we create them. Unlike him all the dirty tricks in the world—that's what he's famous for. Behind the scenes "black ops" every dirty trick in the world and I hope he makes it. I hope he makes it. He's at 500:1.Then you've got Mark Mitchell. He's playing a real long game. He's challenging for the fourth and fifth and sixth leadership changes—that's coming. He should be very careful because he might get what he wants too soon. But I've got to say to him he has been an experienced hostage negotiator and in that one sense he should be out at 10:1 right now because he's got odds on him. In his caucus he'll need it.Then you've got Amy Adams who started out strong in the "Rose Garden Stakes"—SPEAKER: Order!Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: I seek leave for an extension of time. SPEAKER: The member has sought leave for an extension of time. Is there any objection to that? There is."
