4. Question No. 4—Prime MinisterCHLÖE SWARBRICK (Co-Leader—Green) to the Prime MinisterQuestion No. 4—Prime Minister4. CHLÖE SWARBRICK (Co-Leader—Green) to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by his Government's statements and actions?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON (Prime Minister): Yes and especially the moves that we are making to deliver world-class infrastructure and to rebuild the New Zealand economy. We know the difference that world-class roads can make to local communities helping Kiwis mover faster and supporting growth and investment across the country. So it was absolutely fantastic news yesterday that this Government is accelerating work on a four-lane expressway from Auckland to Whangārei as part of our hugely successful roads of national significance. We know the difference that roads like Waikato expressway and the Kāpiti expressway have made for the regions and now we're bringing that to Northland. Whether you're driving an EV or a truck running a business or going on holiday great roads matter and our coalition Government's going to build them. Chlöe Swarbrick: Can the Prime Minister name just one policy in the Government's draft emissions reduction plan that will make it cheaper for households to reduce net emissions."?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: Well what will happen is that we are going to double the amount of renewable energy in this country and we're going to do that by accelerating our fast-track one-stop shop legislation. I encourage that member to support it. Chlöe Swarbrick: Does the Prime Minister believe that our pathway to a climate-friendly future lies in more extraction of coal oil and gas or ensuring 100 percent renewable energy or is he intent to keep talking out both sides of his mouth? Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: What I'd say to you is that we are going to double the amount of renewable energy in this country. It is unacceptable to take eight years to consent a wind farm and then two years to build it. I would encourage that member and the Labour Party to actually support that legislation so we can get renewable projects consented in one year and built much quicker. I'd also say to that member you're well aware that under the ending the oil and gas ban that we now have some energy security challenges around gas supply and I'd encourage that member to also support that legislation too. SPEAKER: Before I call the member I'd just say the little flick at the end of the last question could well see questions terminated in the future. Chlöe Swarbrick: Thank you Mr Speaker. Does the Prime Minister know or care that if you add up the emissions reductions of his Government's so-called key policies in the draft emissions reduction plan they make up a third of the emissions increase that his reversal of the oil and gas ban will create?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: What I'd just say to that member is we are consulting on a draft emissions reduction plan. I encourage the New Zealand public to submit on it and we'll have a final plan announced at the end of the year. Chlöe Swarbrick: How does the Prime Minister feel knowing that his Government's decision under even just the emissions reduction plan alone has taken us off track to meet our climate goals and will increase inequality?Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: Well we remain on track to deliver the emissions reductions budget one and emissions reduction budget two.Chlöe Swarbrick: Is the Prime Minister incapable or just too scared to answer a question straight up? SPEAKER: That question is out of order. We move now to question number five."
