Hudson BrettBRETT HUDSON (National): You know we are only a few weeks away now from that time when New Zealanders get a chance to yet again show what they want to see in a Government. What they look for most of all is a party a Government that is relevant to them and is thinking about the things that are important to their lives and their inspirations. This is where after 9 years the National Party and this Government still stand out in the most positive ways as being the party the organisation that is the most aspirational for New Zealanders and is most relevant to the things that are important to their lives.Just look at for instance the economy that has been stewarded under this National Government. We have seen growth at around 3 percent. It is forecast to continue at an average of over 3 percent over the next 5 years. That is a really strongly performing economy that is leading to more business success and importantly—because it is the real essence of what is important about economic growth—more jobs and higher incomes.So 200000 jobs have been created over the last 3 years. There are forecast to be a further 215000 jobs by 2021. Right at the moment New Zealand is a jobs machine. Right at the moment 10000 net new jobs are being created each month—each month. That is incredible. And what is more before some members start complaining or making noises about work being part-time or full-time 80 percent of the jobs in New Zealand are full-time jobs. Contrast that with Australia where it is only 70 percent.So not only have we got economic settings that are creating more business success leading to more jobs we are raising wages raising incomes. Since we came into office in late 2008 the average wage has risen to just under $59000. By 2021 it is forecast to be $64300. That is $17000 more than when this Government first took office. What is more at the moment—and we would make sure that we have economic settings to encourage this—those wages are rising far faster than inflation which means New Zealand families have got more money in their pockets to meet the expenses of raising their families and other expenses in their lives.This Government is creating an opportunity for New Zealanders to flourish for New Zealanders to achieve their aspirations and for New Zealanders to be better able to look after their families and meet those needs and there is a very bright outlook for the future. That is why this Government this party is aspirational for New Zealand and why New Zealanders see the National Party as the party that is most relevant to what they think is most important.Contrast that with the other side—with the Opposition. One of the great failings in 2014 when David Cunliffe was the leader was that he would say one thing to one group and then another to another. New Zealand might have hoped that that had ended. But just last week Andrew Little told Federated Farmers that the old water policy was gone and he left them with the very clear understanding that there would be no resource rental under a Labour-led Government if it was successful this year. Unfortunately roll along Sunday and instead he has an about-turn on that and says: Well nah. Nah we're going to have royalty charges on water use for private gain and we remain committed to setting a resource rental for water." So what are we seeing? New Zealanders see the same old same old—a Labour leader will say one thing in one context and the exact opposite in another. New Zealanders did not trust it last time and they are unlikely to trust it this time.One might wonder whether it could possibly get worse. Well it already has. You have got a party that has trumpeted in recent times how it is going to cut student visas for low-quality courses. It has railed about housing standards and it has complained about worker exploitation and incomes the minimum wage and living wage—and when what happens? What happens? Under a Labour-branded programme it brings in 85 international interns under false pretences. They were thinking they were getting some great education with all these luminaries coming to lecture to them and what did they get instead? Well they got no pay substandard housing and no education at all. If there is anything more obvious than the double standard that is right throughout the Labour Party and the Labour members it is that particular Labour camp and Andrew Little sits at the very heart of it."
