Volume:712;Page:9648. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]2.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First) to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by all his statements and how does he do so?Rt Hon JOHN KEY (Prime Minister): Yes and by standing here in Parliament and saying so.Rt Hon Winston Peters: How does he reconcile his Government’s comments that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement will be worth $5 billion year on year by 2025 when no other proponents have made such extravagant claims?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: The member should table the quote where I said that.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I seek leave to table two quotes one from Minister Groser and one from Gerry Brownlee.Rt Hon JOHN KEY: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. [Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order! The member will now resume his seat and I will hear a point of order from the right honourable Prime Minister.Rt Hon JOHN KEY: The Rt Hon Winston Peters just misled the House. He said that that was my quote. It was not my quote—Mr SPEAKER: Order! [Interruption] Order!Rt Hon Winston Peters: Speaking to the point of order—Mr SPEAKER: I need no further—[Interruption] Order! I need no further comment from either member. Standing Order 359 is the Standing Order the Prime Minister should refer to if he feels there has been a situation where a member has misled the House. As to the tabling of documents I am not going to put the leave because I do not think they will advance the order of this House. But I will invite the member to continue with his supplementary question.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker.Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Point of order—Mr SPEAKER: A point of order. I will hear—[Interruption] Order! I will hear from the Rt Hon Winston Peters first.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Thank you very much Mr Speaker. I am happy to table the question I asked which began—Mr SPEAKER: Order! There is no need to do that. Now I will hear from the right honourable Prime Minister.Rt Hon JOHN KEY: In my opinion the member said that I had said that the TPP year after year would be worth $5 billion. I did not say that thing.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Mr Speaker—Mr SPEAKER: Order! No I need no further assistance from either member. I have advised the Prime Minister on a way forward if he feels he has been misrepresented. He needs to refer to the Standing Orders and follow that way. Now I am inviting the member—if he has a further line of questioning he is welcome to follow it. I am happy to move to the next question if he would rather.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker.Mr SPEAKER: No I have dealt with the matter. I am inviting—Rt Hon Winston Peters: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker.Mr SPEAKER: If it is a fresh point of order I will hear it.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I have been accused of misleading the House—Mr SPEAKER: Order! The member will resume his seat. And equally if the member feels he has been misrepresented he follows the same procedure. I will not entertain any more points of order on this issue but I am happy for the member to continue his line of questioning.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Given that Tim Groser and Gerry Brownlee being part of the Government said that why—Hon Steven Joyce: Oh ha ha!Rt Hon Winston Peters: Yeah you do not like facts do you sunshine?Mr SPEAKER: Order! Now I am going to invite the member to start that question again and to complete the question without responding to interjections.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Thank you very much.Hon Member: Come on sunset.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Ha ha!Mr SPEAKER: Supplementary question the Rt Hon Winston Peters.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Why when asked for a response to the current plight of New Zealand dairy farmers is his answer always the TPP agreement when four of the countries involved have subsidies of over $110 billion as a barrier to New Zealand dairy farmer competition?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: If the member goes and has a look at the TPP he will see that the biggest area of reduction when it comes to tariffs is dairy. If the member wants to come into this House and argue that dairy farmers should pay higher tariffs he is welcome to do so but that just shows how little he knows. And he should stop making things up in this House—Mr SPEAKER: Order! That will not—Rt Hon Winston Peters: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I do not know what is wrong with the Prime Minister today—Mr SPEAKER: Order! [Interruption] Order! I am just making sure it is heard in silence so I can hear the member.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I do not know what is wrong with the Prime Minister but he cannot begin the first question today by attacking me and he is back to it again because around about now and given your countless warnings in the past he should be asked to apologise.Mr SPEAKER: No. Order! No. It is a robust debating chamber. Nothing at this stage has been ruled out of order and question time can continue if the member wishes it to.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Despite Tim Groser and Gerry Brownlee’s comments how is his response that the TPP agreement is a financial relief for New Zealand dairy farmers when US free-trade agreements with Colombia Panama and Korea took more than 4 years to receive congressional approval after signing? In short how will the dairy industry in 2016 2017 2018 and 2019 expect any relief at all from his flippant comments?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: This is going to come as a great revelation but Panama Colombia and Korea are not part of the TPP.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Despite the fact that I never said they were Prime Minister—and obfuscation and deviation will not work in this House—why is the Government blocking a free-trade deal with Russia and pouring massive taxpayer support into the Hollywood film industry Skycity Casino Rio Tinto and now the TPP agreement campaign when the Democrat and Republican campaigns’ leadership in the United States thinks it is a real dog—Hon Steven Joyce: What’s your question?Rt Hon Winston Peters: —no not you; the TPP agreement—and a big corporate protection racket against the interests of its workers and its farmers?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Interestingly enough if one looks at the comments from Donald Trump the reason he thinks it is a bad deal is that he thinks that the United States has done a bad job of negotiating the terms which by definition means that we did a good job of negotiating the terms because we got a better deal.
