Little AndrewGENERAL DEBATEHon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Justice): I move That the House take note of miscellaneous business.The world has been put to an extraordinary test. Every country in the world has been put to the test and has had to meet a very important challenge. The thing about disease and illness and viruses and bacteria is they don't discriminate. Every country has been faced with COVID-19 and the pandemic but not every country has responded the same. What that has meant is that the leadership of every country has been put to the test and we now know who can do it and we now know who cannot.We are very fortunate that in this country the Government of New Zealand led by Jacinda Ardern showed leadership and stewardship unlike any other country in the world. We now have the benefit of being a country where COVID-19 is not in our communities and we are fighting fiercely to make sure it doesn't cross the border. That's what good leadership does faced with a worldwide challenge such as we have seen.This coalition Government supported by its confidence and supply partner has kept New Zealanders safe and kept many more New Zealanders alive. You know I said some time ago that the question on the lips of voters this September—and it still will be this September because we've managed the issue—is What did you do to keep us safe?" And the other question they will ask—not just to members of the Government—will be "What did you do to keep us safe?" because then they will be looking at the Opposition and they will be saying "Well what did that lot do? What was their contribution to keeping us safe?" because the reality is that the National Opposition fudged and mudged their way through the entire pandemic—they could not make up their minds on what to do. They wanted to close the borders and then just as quickly they wanted to open the borders. They wanted to borrow heaps and now they don't want to borrow heaps. Although if you're Jacqui Dean you don't borrow; you just get the money offshore. So we know that much.Now we've seen exposed to this Parliament and this question time today exactly what the National Party stands for. Gerry Brownlee doesn't want the young Kiwi who left last year to go on their OE experience a bit of the world and see the great sights and who now wants to come back home. Gerry Brownlee and the National Party want to charge them $3000. But the Fonterra executive on $800000 a year doing the very important job of making sure the markets are intact Gerry Brownlee wants that Fonterra executive to come back for free. That's the difference: the party of privilege and elitism is over there; the party that looks after New Zealanders is just over here.It hasn't just been dealing with the public health challenge that we've had. In the meantime we've got on with the job of making New Zealand socially and economically better. So just this week alone we've passed the Equal Pay Amendment Bill and we're now invested in 50-year-old infrastructure in Auckland Hospital to make that part of our health services better. We've invested $51.6 million in our international education sector so they can deal with the challenges. We've got laws now and a programme now to better protect migrants and we've announced an investment package in new clean technologies—the work of governing does not stop.But the reality is this: a new rogue element has been thrown into the election campaign—not the shambles that is the party opposite. We're well used to that. We're well used to the shambles opposite. But a new rogue element has been thrown into this election campaign and it is something to do with the Leader of the Opposition. You see the day after she became the leader every member opposite was dragooned along to be part of a photo shoot with Judith Collins. You know we've got the evidence of it. Every member had to go and have their photo taken with the Leader of the Opposition. Now according to Facebook that photo shoot was accompanied by I think a Bach piano concerto—a very nice piece of classical music. I think it was the National Party's attempt to tell the electorate they're actually high-brow.But it's not the high-brow we have to worry about; it's the eyebrow. We've now got the new measure of election campaigning: the eyebrow—the raised eyebrow. That's why these photos are so important because you look at the eyebrow—there's poor old Ian McKelvie still wishing he was mayor of whatever he was mayor of and there's the raised eyebrow saying "You must be joking. You must be joking." That's what she's saying. Then there's Chris Bishop. He knows the test because his eyebrows are furrowed because he's not joking—he's not joking. But Judith Collins—she's got the raised eyebrow. She's saying "You've got to be joking."This side of the House will get into the election campaign promise safety for New Zealand knowing we can deliver it and they're going to measure the eyebrow."
