Bayly Andrew; Rurawhe AdrianANDREW BAYLY (National—Port Waikato): Thank you and first of all I'd like to acknowledge you reassuming the Chair Mr Speaker; the Deputy and of course the Assistant Speakers—with our very own Jacqui Dean. I would also like to acknowledge all the new MPs—particularly the five from National—a great intake. Also to all the returning MPs to the House great to see you back here today. I just wanted to congratulate the Government. You have won a resounding victory and you now have a massive majority—but that means there are no excuses now. Not even with the Greens tidily tucked away over here just on the sidelines. The nation was gripped waiting for the Speech from the Throne. We waited we have waited and the question that I've got to ask: what are the big new initiatives that this Government wants to do over the next three years? With all these new Ministers with all the ambitions that they've got where is the driving transformational change that they want to bring about in the next three years? When you looked at what the Prime Minister announced so proudly in 2017 she said lovely things: This will be a Government of inclusion. This will be a Government of transformation. This will be a Government of aspiration." But what has happened to the Government of 2020?To me it appears to be playing safe. We know the game. No doubt the Prime Minister's already said to the Deputy Prime Minister: "Grant stick in the middle do not scare people and let's keep talking about COVID—because that means we don't need to justify much. It doesn't mean that we have to go out and do a whole lot of stuff." Well I say to you let us not be shaped by COVID. Instead let us use COVID as a platform for growth and change. This raises the wider issue: where is the vision for this term for this new Government? We are in the grips of the largest economic crisis for some time for so very long. We've seen our debt go from $60 billion to just under $100 billion and it's going to double again to $200 billion. We need leadership. We also need a clear vision. The speech was full of slogans. I love this one: "Relentlessly pursuing progress." And the other one "We must continue to tackle these issues at gathering scale at gathering speed and with gathering effect." It's almost Churchillian. Visionary words but where are the actions? Where is the vision? How do we get out of this financial mess? This Government is focused on making some tax changes. In fact we've got a bill coming through today which is going to seek to capture $550 million a year. It is tinkering at the edges. What is required is an economic strategy that assists our businesses to employ more people to want to grow and to want to take a risk. But what was in the Budget? Not much. A bit of training and a few other initiatives but for our smaller businesses a nasty nasty surprise—another five days' sick leave which they will have to pay; increase in the minimum wage which they will have to pay. No doubt with our ex - trade unionist Minister now running the employment law we will see further changes to that.The question is: where is the vision? I think with a country that's piling on debt at $110 million a day New Zealand has an issue it has problems. What people don't even realise is that we're borrowing to pay for the interest. This is not a recipe for success. I welcome the opportunity for initiatives around trade deals but with gathering scale with gathering speed and with gathering effect we have a train wreck coming towards us in terms of a housing crisis and in terms of an economic crisis. We need a plan and vision.DEPUTY SPEAKER: I call the Hon Michael Woodhouse five minutes."
