Woods MeganHon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Labour—Wigram): Thank you Mr Speaker. So 14 layers of dysfunction fully on display on the other side here today. In fact I think we could probably even find more layers of dysfunction over there especially after the member that's just taken her seat has had the floor.This is a day that the National Party have been counting down—apparently for 14 years. It seems quite a popular number for the National Party to bandy around that they've been waiting for so they can get out there and they can convince New Zealanders and particularly retired New Zealanders that $2.50 is in fact $250. Because that's what they went on the campaign trail and they promised them. And on that day they're trying to do the magician thing and convince New Zealanders that $2.50 is what they voted for in October. What has happened? They've got one Minister that comes into the House can't answer the most basic of questions that are put on notice and we've got another Minister that is more interested in wearing the insignia of her gang than defending her Government or her ministerial record. You've got one job in question time as a Minister and that's to front up to the Parliament and not put the interests of your jewellery or your insignia ahead of that. And nothing is more emblematic than the kind of dysfunction that we're seeing of this Government than the behaviour that we've seen in the House in the last hour and a half from this Government.This was meant to be a day when the Government would go out and try and sound as desperately on life support—tax relief—so-called. But what did we see? We saw one part of the throuple more intent on trying to create a distraction to take away from the Government's messaging. There are problems and we are firing up the popcorn machine for the day that David Seymour becomes Deputy Prime Minister. That's going to be an interesting episode for us to watch.But if today is tax cut day let's have a look at the price of those tax cuts. And specifically I want to talk about the $3 billion that was cut from climate initiatives to fund tax cuts interest deductibility for landlords. And we've had the previous speaker stand up with great glee and say that you know we've done great things we've cut the youth tax."—tell you what they did is they have taken away one of the few initiatives that actually was reducing emissions in this country. And all New Zealanders are going to pay. I want that member to go back to rural New Zealand to the Hawke's Bay and tell her constituents that the Climate Change Commission has said that the result of this Government's inaction in transport and agriculture climate initiatives means that $300 a tonne emissions pricing is coming. Now at only $200 a tonne that means an extra $0.40 on the cost of a litre of petrol. So we know it's going to be skywards of that. So she talks about scraping the Auckland regional fuel tax; front up to rural New Zealand and tell them you're putting 50-60 cents on everyone's litre of petrol because of the inaction of a Government that you are part—sorry—that that member is part of.Let's look at what else they're doing to pay for this. They seem to think that they can bandy around with great glee that they got rid of corporate welfare. What they've got rid of in the Decarbonising Industry Fund is something that was accounting for 17 and 35 percent of the emissions reductions that we needed to achieve. Have we heard one alternative from this Government of what they're going to do? No. We have a Government that is hell-bent on increasing emissions in this country. They have no idea they have no plan and when their Minister comes to the House to answer the question can't even tell me what a specific initiative is. Instead what she lists are the very things that the Climate Commission has told us are failing.This is a Government in la-la land and they are costing New Zealanders. Treasury has told us New Zealanders are facing a bill of $24 billion because of climate inaction and that is on this Government and their inaction. This is a Government that should hang its head in shame. It is failing future New Zealanders and taking us backwards."
