Volume:694;Page:71. Text is subject to correction.]DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East): Tonight is something that many politicians would look at as the luckiest day of their lives. To have the turkey shoot of the whole New Zealand First Party sitting in this House with a dumb stupid bill the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (Amending Primary Function of Bank) Amendment Bill (No 2) that we can just take and take to them is the best thing that any politician could ever want to have. Five minutes of taking New Zealand First and Winston Peters down a peg or two is what we love to see. This is the turkey shoot we have been waiting for. Look at them sitting there. Who have we got? We have got the leader himself but we will come back to him—we will come back to Winston. Asenati—Asenati does not know the difference between macro and microeconomics. Do you Asenati? What is the difference? She does not know. She will not know the difference between macro and microeconomics. The difference is that macro is what Richard Prosser says in your caucus; micro is what—Rt Hon Winston Peters: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. In this House as we well know—I know that some members may have been here for only 5 minutes but they have learnt one thing even on the day of induction here which is that every member is an honourable member and you cannot go shouting out all sorts of epithets and calling members by their first names. It is just unthinkable. Look I know there has been a lowering of the standards in the last 5 years but I am asking that you make sure that this member behaves himself uses the Standing Orders properly refers to members properly and does not make a speech that is even worse than his tie.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): Thank you Mr Peters. He made a good point.DAVID BENNETT: For all those people listening Winston Peters the old member of Parliament always makes an interruption when he is losing a debate. When he loses a debate he raises a point of order. He will raise another couple of points of order during my speech because he knows he is going to get done over like a dog in this debate. OK Asenati the difference between macro and micro is that macro—Le’aufa’amulia Asenati Lole-Taylor: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker.DAVID BENNETT: Oh here we go. They are all learning off their boss now are they not? Follow the leader—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): Order! There is a point of order on the floor.Le’aufa’amulia Asenati Lole-Taylor: I understand that everyone should be referred to by their full name in this House and to be called “Asenati” not once or twice but four times tonight is unacceptable after the Rt Hon Winston Peters has spoken about it.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): Thank you. The member is quite right. Can I just say to the member that I know he is really hyped up. I understand that. [Interruption] Order! I am on my feet. The member will be seated. The member will use a member’s full name. It is respectful and it is a courtesy towards others.DAVID BENNETT: OK. Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker. The next one is Denis O’Rourke. Denis O’Rourke represents the youth wing of the New Zealand First Party. Denis O’Rourke does not understand that this bill is about the dollar. He still thinks we are talking about pounds and shillings do you not Denis? What is the difference Denis between the dollar and pounds and shillings?The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): Order! Order! The member has done it again.DAVID BENNETT: Mr O’Rourke yes. Behind him we have Richard Prosser. When Richard Prosser heard that Winston Peters was bringing in a Reserve Bank bill he thought it was to do with the army. He thought there was going to be compulsory conscription of all people between the ages of 55 and 65. All the New Zealand First members would have to come and serve in the military—that is what Richard Prosser thought when he heard about this bill.Then there is Barbara Stewart. I call her Barbs and there is no offence. I am not going to say anything about Barbs that is negative—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): Order! The member is now trifling with the Chair. [Interruption] There will be order when I am on feet or someone will walk. The member is trifling with the Chair. He has been told once already that he must use the full name of members. If he does it again he is out.DAVID BENNETT: Barbara Stewart is a very very solid member of New Zealand First. I have a lot of time for Barbara Stewart and I will not say anything other than that.But the real leader of New Zealand First is not here. Where is Brendan Horan when you need him? Where is Brendan Horan—the man who understands what Winston Peters means to the New Zealand First Party the man who stared him in the eye and won? All the other members of New Zealand First are sitting there loyal diligent and supporting. I did not talk about Andrew Williams. Andrew Williams does not actually want to vote for this bill. Andrew Williams is so hacked off that Tracey Martin got the deputy leadership that he does not actually want to vote for this bill do you Andrew Williams? You want to come to this side. I know. It is OK. It is all right.The New Zealand First Party—this is the party that will keep New Zealand honest. Those people over there are the kinds of people who will keep New Zealand honest and they are quiet as lambs—quiet as lambs on their boss’s big day out. Is it not so so good to see the New Zealand First Party members where they should be: sitting there quietly waiting for their leader’s next move? The leader does not know what to do—[Bell rung] But the leader—Hon Members: No!DAVID BENNETT: I will keep going. I will keep going.Hon Members: Point of order.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): Order! Order! I know that the member sat down but no one else took the call.Iain Lees-Galloway: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. It is that the member took his seat and he should not be able to continue his call.Hon Todd McClay: It is clear that the member did not sit down; he dropped his notes.
