Bennett PaulaHon PAULA BENNETT (Deputy Leader—National): Well I understand that on a day that the Government wished would go away you would put up your most boring speaker but man that was just another whole level. I just thought that completely sucked the oxygen out of the room.Hon Gerry Brownlee: The health Minister's cured insomnia! Hon PAULA BENNETT: The health Minister has cured insomnia; Mr Brownlee you are right. To call it a shambles incompetent a disgrace and at very best embarrassing for the Government this week is an absolute understatement. They can't run a Budget process and yet we think they can possibly run a country?Hon Andrew Little: What a shabby grubby filthy National Party we've got.Hon PAULA BENNETT: So the fact that we have the— SPEAKER: Order! The Minister of Justice will stand withdraw and apologise. Hon Andrew Little: I withdraw and apologise. Hon PAULA BENNETT: Thank you Mr Speaker. I think the fact that we have the information itself shows just how incompetent they are. The fact that Angry Andrew" Little feels he needs to shout out quite like he does actually shows just how discombobulated they really are this week and feeling very very disgruntled. So the very fact we've got the information for me proves incompetence but if that's not enough it's how you deal with a problem. So rule No. 1 Prime Minister: when you are asked a question as you're walking into your caucus that you don't know the answer to it is quite all right to turn around and say "I do not know the answer to that question. I will ask the right questions." But instead she just said "No there's been no information leak. No it hasn't come from anywhere and it's all false." We then of course had the Deputy Prime Minister who came out and made absolute statements in this very House in question time yesterday which says that every figure is wrong—"It's utterly false." It's utterly false we heard—out to the New Zealand Herald—every figure is wrong. While of course we've then got Grant Robertson saying "Yeah well some of them are right and some of them might be wrong." Then we've got the Prime Minister now saying "Some might be right and some might be wrong."But actually what's really important in all of this is as we always say it's not that a mistake or that information got out—that might happen and I'm sure we might have all moved on—but it's how you deal with it. Last night was actually I think one of the most disgraceful things that we've seen in Parliament for a long time. To make serious allegations like we have heard from the finance Minister and from Treasury to make things up about serious hackers and to actually report to the police with no evidence that we've seen or they're able to produce for anybody is absolutely disgraceful. It is a measure to try and muzzle the Opposition in a week where the Government know that they are failing—failing New Zealanders failing to deliver and actually failing to even deliver a Budget process. We had Treasury saying one thing the Minister of Finance saying another and the whole hope in this is that they are hoping that the Opposition will stop bringing out information that they do not want disclosed about their Budget. Well guess what ladies and gentlemen: we know more about the Government's Budget than they do and that is because of their pure incompetence in running a process. It is because they are—and I've got some serious questions here. So as they put these allegations out there as they have accused Her Majesty's loyal Opposition of actually serious systematic hacking when that is proven false will the Minister of Finance resign? That is a fair question. Will the Prime Minister actually apologise for the disgrace when it is proven that this is purely incompetence and false allegations? Will they stand up and be counted then because they should be. This is a week when actually the country deserves more. Thousands of teachers out there today—their families are being affected because this Government yet again has made promises that they will not actually be able to live up to. To be told that there is no more money available as they see it then being wasted by Shane Jones on pet projects is absolutely cruel at its best and an embarrassment from this Government. Every time Minister Hipkins you look at them and tell them that there is no more money as Shane Jones throws out another roundabout or another few dollars to a few mates up north it is a disgrace to the teachers that work so hard in this country and deserve better."
