King Matt; Williams PotoMATT KING (National—Northland): What's the saying? Underpromise; overdeliver. Isn't that the saying? This coalition Government obviously didn't get that memo. Let's see: they said they were going to plant a billion trees—not them and the private sector. They said they were going to build 100000 houses—not them and the private sector. Solve child poverty; houses for everyone they said; cure cancer—nah they'll save that for the next election. It's a Government full of ideology but out of touch with reality.Let's take the billion-dollar regional development fund. Let's be honest here. New Zealand First had Labour over a barrel. What choice did they have? It's that or 12 years in Opposition. The last time that happened it was 1969. Sir Keith Holyoake and that great National Government did it to Labour back then.So big-value wins for New Zealand First—over $5 billion and counting. So what did the poor old Greens get with one less MP? Less than 10c in the dollar compared to New Zealand First—that's what they got. Do you think this country voted for this? I don't think they did in a million years. Did they vote for this shambles? I don't think so.Hon Member: It's MMP.MATT KING: You can call it the way you like but Mr Seven Percent" is calling the shots.Now let's talk about Shane Jones and his $3 billion cheque book to win a seat in 2020. Let's be honest. For his political survival they need that seat. I'm picking it'll be Northland. Shane Jones lives walking distance from the Kerikeri airport. Well hello! Kerikeri gets a brand new airport terminal with millions of dollars from this New Zealand slush fund pumped in. About three kilometres in the other direction there's a roundabout which gets $9 million from the Shane Jones fund. About 20 minutes away are Paihia and Russell wharves—some more money from that slush fund. And 20 minutes south Kawakawa gets $2.3 million for the Kawakawa development centre. I'm putting my Northland hat on here my Northland MP's hat and I say to Shane Jones "Keep spending that money in Northland; the more the merrier. Keep spending it."But what about the rest of New Zealand? It's not the money they're spending from the slush fund that I have a problem with. It's the process they have or rather the lack of it. It's the way they got the money. That I have a problem with. But what gets me is the Northland motorway. They've gutted it—the single biggest driver of economic growth in Northland. Universal support by all the business community and local and regional government. They gutted it. They took $5 billion out of the regional roading budget—that's $5000 million—and they tried to spin that putting $200 million or less than $200 million back was fair. Big fail. The motorway length in 2019 from Whangarei to Northport the busiest road and the heaviest use of motor vehicles in Northland meets all the cost-benefit ratios.But what did we get in return? Have a guess. Another roundabout on the outskirts of Whangarei—a roundabout that was going to be built as part of that motorway project. We're getting stiffed by this Government at every turn. The broken promises are endless. Where are the $10 GP visits? Not happening. The 1800 new cops in three years? It turns out to be 900 and maybe five years. The 10000 houses built per year for 10 years. We're getting a thousand this year if we're lucky. Immigration—down 30000; it's about 3000 less. They've pledged 100 million trees a year which equates to 274000 trees a day 11400 trees per hour 190 trees a minute and three trees a second. So for the last eight months they've planted six trees. That's two seconds' worth of planting. Good luck with the billion trees.No new taxes? We've got four of them. They said they're going to pay down debt. It turns out they're going to borrow another $10 billion. That is $10000 million. This Government is riding a strong economic wave. This is the time they should be paying their debt down. It's a wave that hard-working New Zealanders and a hard-working National Government built. It seems a shame to see all that hard work crushed by this shambolic incompetent Government. Roll on 2020 or sooner.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): I understand the next call is a split call—Angie Warren-Clark."
