Bennett David; Carter DavidHon DAVID BENNETT (Minister of Veterans' Affairs): I did not think that we could get any more gifts than we got from the Green Party but that speech from Julie Anne Genter was just up there. They are talking about legalising cannabis. The one thing that the Green Party walked away from in the last two elections because it knew that the New Zealand public would not support it was to legalise cannabis. Now we hear it is back on the Green Party agenda. The best part of that speech was to see the face of the Rt Hon Winston Peters when he saw what a potential coalition partner of his was going to be doing and that is to legalise cannabis. The gifts keep coming from the Green Party. Let us give them more time in this House to tell us what they would actually do for New Zealand because it is madness what will come out of the Green Party. Everybody knows that the public knows that and that is why it has never been given the mantle of Government.But the Green Party is not as bad as the Labour Party. The Labour Party—we had Grant Robertson come in here and he spoke like a true academic: It's about my moral compass. It's about you know" all these things that academics left-wing—get in the real world. Go out there get a job and let us not be in a world where we have been paid for through our whole lifetime to sit behind a desk and tell other people what they think. That is what Mr Grant Robertson was all about today. It was all this left-wing waffle about how Labour is going to save the world save everything. We have got the saviours of the world in the Labour Party who are holier-than-thou and have no understanding of practicality or reality. When there is money going into the hands of New Zealanders they vote against it. When there is money going into the hands of the people most in need they vote against it—not once; they have done this a couple of times now while we have been in Government. The Labour Party does not care about New Zealanders. It cares only about its academic vitriol in this House.But it gets worse. It gets worse. We have got a New Zealand First member who is going to stand up soon. They are going to be next up here and they are going to be saying it is all the fault of the migrants. That is what it is going to be. That is what New Zealand First is going to be saying. At the same time that party is going around the country trying to pander to every migrant group trying to get votes off them. That is what is going happen. That is the next speech we are going to hear. It will be: "Oh migrants are causing the problem in housing." Well we do not need to go back to 1955. We do not need to be a Trump-like party of New Zealand politics that is against trade that is against having an open free country and that is against having New Zealanders attain and go for their strengths. That is what you would get out of New Zealand First. Those members have actually got the brains trust now confiding—the four of them are getting together. Poor old "Ronnie" Mark is not there is he because he knows what is going to happen in a few weeks' time when Shane Jones comes in. He will not be in the brains trust at all then.New Zealanders have a choice. They have a choice between a reasonable rational Government that delivers for people in their time of economic need a Government that has prudently managed the economy to deliver the infrastructure to grow our country and our cities and at the same time has delivered for people when they are most in need—or we can have a party that just wants to smoke pot all day we can have a party that wants to stop people coming into the country all day and we can have a party that wants to psychoanalyse itself and make itself feel good about itself. That is the choice New Zealanders have got when it comes to the election. It is a great choice. It is an easy choice for New Zealanders.There is a reason the Labour Party will not tell you what it thinks. There is a reason the Labour Party will not actually go out there and say anything. We all know what the Labour Party is doing in its secret files in its offices. In its secret files there will be tax increases. There are tax increases. At this moment in time it is working through whether it brings in a capital gains tax—the very tax that it said it would never bring in. It is in its files—I bet you it is in its files. And there are death duties. That will be the other thing in its files. It is looking at those things now. It is going to bring them in. It is being very silent to New Zealanders. The leader of the Labour Party said 12 months ago that there would be no increases in taxes under the Labour Party—there would be no increases. He has changed his mind. He has left the door open now and said there will be increases in taxes under Labour just like the Greens have changed their minds on legalising cannabis and gone into this election proposing cannabis. Labour will increase your taxes hurt New Zealanders and hurt the economy and for those guys—Mr SPEAKER: The member's time has expired."
