Collins JudithHon JUDITH COLLINS (National—Papakura): Oh that was a long 10 minutes—that was too long for 10 minutes. Actually the member who's resumed her seat is the Minister for broadcasting and I did not hear her mention one word about the $38 million of funding boost for Radio New Zealand that that Government promised and has not delivered on. Thirty eight million dollars—another broken promise.I actually think it's an indication of the quality of the Government that the Hon Clare Curran was the second speaker in this debate. I think it pays some tribute to the Hon Clare Curran but it doesn't pay much tribute to the Government. And to hear her say that the Labour New Zealand First Green Government has provided certainty for the provinces—well they've certainly given a lot of certainty to Taranaki! They've basically stuffed their economy.They've gone after farmers. They've gone after anything that makes money. They've spent years talking about dirty dairying. They've gone after oil and gas. They've taken an industry which has been the biggest payer in terms of wages to ordinary Kiwis who work in that industry of oil and gas and they have gutted it. And they can sit here today talking about the provinces—they wouldn't know how to spell it and that's the problem.So you've got here a Government—I think quite unkindly called the accidental Government—and they promised so big on the election trail and they delivered so little and I thought in quite a cynical way really. So if you look at for instance the previous speaker from the Government the Hon Grant Robertson Minister of Finance—which I have to say does send shivers down most people's spine who know anything about finance—he cynically stood up in the House today and he said of us in the Opposition Well they're not voting for this bill. Therefore they're not voting for wages for nurses." I have no idea why he said that.I looked on my media indications from the Google people and guess what? The nurses are striking. I didn't see the nurses striking under a National-led Government; I see them striking under a Labour New Zealand First and Greens Government. I didn't see teachers striking under National and yet we see teachers striking under this Government. We've got strikes happening in the transport sector in public transport in Wellington and in Auckland and that's happened under a Labour New Zealand First and Greens Government.The people striking are the very people who thought that this Government was going to deliver for them and their response to this Government and their Budget which would have to be the biggest flop Budget ever—this dud Budget—has been to go on strike. If we all know nurses in our families and elsewhere they are the most dedicated people to their work and for them to give strike notice it says a lot.Having listened the other day to one of the people who are leading this particular strike for the nurses the comment was this: "The Nurses Organisation"—in other words the union—"have been promising all sorts of things that were going to happen under Labour. The only thing that's happened is we've had to strike." and that sums it up.Then of course this Budget is also a big $2 billion for KiwiBuild which it turns out is "KiwiBuy" off the plans from a few developers hope they know how to build properly hope they don't go broke halfway through the build hope we haven't given them too much money up front and hope it's going to be all right—Phil Twyford KiwiBuild—and it's just amazing. So we are now what eight or nine months into this Government and how many of these 100000 houses that were promised have been built? How many? Any number?Hon Nicky Wagner: Zero.Hon JUDITH COLLINS: Well the Hon Nicky Wagner knows the answer. The Labour Government's very quiet on this. The answer is zero.What do they have to show for all these months? Well Phil Twyford's gone along to a developer who was struggling who was working in my electorate—he loves the fact it's in my electorate for some particular reason—and that particular builder says that he was struggling he can't get financing couldn't do it. And what that really says is this: if someone's a developer you can't get your financing and you're not maybe the most financially secure developer Phil's your man. Phil's your man. Go to Phil—he'll buy it.What happens once you've bought this house? What happens once Phil Twyford's bought the house? He's going to sell it on to the KiwiBuild first-home buyer. And what do we know about who can be that KiwiBuild first-home buyer? Well apparently anyone as long as they're a first-time buyer in New Zealand. I don't know whether or not it's the first-time buyer by themselves or a first-time buyer in this particular relationship they might be in not the previous one—no detail has been forthcoming from Phil Twyford. I've asked parliamentary questions. I've asked written ones; I've asked oral ones. We're asking Official Information Act questions. No answers from Phil Twyford because nothing has been agreed.That tells us that we've got a Minister with $2 billion with no idea what he's doing. He's moved from "We're going to build all these houses and we're going to build them in our first 10 years." to now saying "Oh we're going to buy some houses."—apparently not build any houses at all because he hasn't got any carpenters plumbers electricians or gib-stoppers; the people that you need to do this—and they're going to buy them off developers in many cases where the developments have been failing.And why should anyone buy a KiwiBuild house? You'd like to think that you'd want to do it so that someone got a start in life—that actually the asset that they're buying might at some stage have a bit of value added to it—and at the same time you'd like to hope they were going to have a nice neighbourhood full of people who are aspirational trying to get ahead looking after their properties looking after their neighbourhood. And what we have from the same Minister the Hon Phil Twyford is that State house tenants under his watch—now we have a no-eviction policy for antisocial behaviour. So that means that if you've bought your KiwiBuild property you've been in the ballot it's great news you've got your KiwiBuild property and you pay for it next door Phil's got one of his houses and there happens to be some antisocial tenants. What happens then? You move apparently according to Phil Twyford.Dr Duncan Webb: Who moves?Hon JUDITH COLLINS: You move.DEPUTY SPEAKER: No not me.Hon JUDITH COLLINS: Not unless Madam Deputy Speaker you wish to buy one of those KiwiBuild houses which I'm sure you're not silly enough to do.So should the KiwiBuild homeowner have a tenant problem with Housing New Zealand what we've heard from this Minister today and previously is they're on their own. They're on their own because Housing New Zealand now has a no-evictions policy for antisocial gang-connected behaviour from tenants. As long as they pay the rent eventually at some stage—possibly in the future—it'll be just fine.And this is a Government that has overseen the biggest jump in the State house waiting list of any. So after all the carrying on all the talking in Opposition about what they were going to do for State house tenants and people who needed a house that waiting list has grown by 2000 by the Minister's own admission in the select committee the other day—2000 under his watch. He's only been in the role for eight or nine months. Imagine what could happen in a year. There are 2000 people now on the waiting list.Hon Clare Curran: Tired old Opposition. Tired old line.Hon JUDITH COLLINS: And that member over there—somebody; I don't know her name—has called out something about tired old—Hon Clare Curran: Lines.Hon JUDITH COLLINS: Don't talk to me like that—an unknown person. What I would say to that person is this: don't make out you're going to deliver to people. Don't tell people they're going to get $38 million at Radio New Zealand Clare Curran and then fail to deliver.This Government will be a one-term Government. It will be a one-term and we will make sure of it."
