Doocey MattMATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Well thank you very much Madam Speaker. What is the purpose of a Labour Government if it doesn't stand up for working people? Here we have a bill tonight where the average Kiwi on the average wage will get nothing out of this bill. The average Kiwi on the average wage of $72000 will get a big New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) zero—you know those zeros that NZTA wasted $10000 dollars on? An average Kiwi on the average wage will get nothing. There was a time when a Labour Government would stand up for hard-working Kiwis; they do not represent working Kiwis any more. It's on a guaranteed tax plan that a National Government will stand up for hard-working Kiwis. We have not had any time tonight to interrogate this bill. We've had no committee of the whole House stage. But what I want the Government members to do is to start fleshing this bill out—start explaining to us: why do you need 750 full-time equivalents to deliver this bill? What we know with a Labour Government is that won't be a ceiling; that will be a minimum. So we're looking at about 1000 more bureaucrats on top of the 10000 they've already employed. What will be the cost Minister of that 1000 extra bureaucrats to administer that? The bill says it will cost $16 million. Is that including the extra funding that's in the paperwork that none of the Government MPs have talked about? IRD has asked for extra funding to employ the 750 full-time equivalents. How much is that going to cost? Ten thousand bureaucrats plus 1000—now we're up to 11000. When is it going to stop?Even the Minister in his first reading admitted 200000 Kiwis who are entitled to this—they don't even have their bank account details. Over 10 percent—they don't even have the details. Let's be honest: who would trust these guys to run a hot bath let alone deliver a programme like this? This is destined for failure. Why we know that is because one of the very few documents we have for regulatory oversight says analysis of the problem and potential options has been significantly constrained by shortened time frames". No one's done any work on this bill because they only magicked it up a couple of nights ago over a late-night wine when Grant reached over and he probably said to Jacinda and Chippy "Oh the public's getting a bit insatiable for tax relief. What are we going to do?" Here we are: a band-aid Budget—a band-aid $350 for hard-working Kiwis. What is the purpose of a Labour Government if they can't fight hard for working Kiwis? I tell you what you go and listen to the comments on the news tonight and the hard-working Kiwis aren't impressed. They aren't impressed about this band-aid response to in fact a very serious crisis in New Zealand. This is a failed socialist experiment this Government. Everything they do is failure—a failed socialist experiment. Now they're reaching in and blowing $6 billion—the biggest spend—plus another $2 billion in the next Budget another half a billion and add on $800 million for this policy pledge. I tell you what it's the hard-working Kiwis that are going to have to pay it back on top of all the extra costs that they are paying for and now they've got debt that's growing by the day. The interest on the debt this Government is growing is twice what we pay for the New Zealand Police Force a year. This Government is out of control. But hold on because there was one learned colleague from the Government benches who mentioned the poll and he's dead right because the poll was reflective of where middle New Zealand is: middle New Zealand does not trust this Government."
