Davis KelvinKELVIN DAVIS (Labour—Te Tai Tokerau): The sex drugs and Gore" saga just rolls on and on and on and on. This is something that should have been nipped in the bud in a matter of hours if it was dealt with by a real leader. Instead it has been 9 long days—dragged out only because of the ineptitude of a person who calls himself the Prime Minister but is no leader. A leader would have dealt with this on the spot. Instead all we have seen in this House is the person who calls himself the Prime Minister dipping ducking diving and weaving. He reminds me of the old slimy tuna on the banks of the Taumārere River. He has just dragged this out.Todd Barclay—where is he? He is on gardening duty. He has got 3 months on full leave and then after that after the election he is on 3 months of full pay as well. Todd Barclay will barely go down as a footnote in the history of this Parliament. He will barely be remembered; in fact we are almost forgetting his name now. What Todd Barclay did was dumb and it was petty. It was immature and it was insecure. It also looks like it was pretty illegal as well. And all we have seen from the Prime Minister is dipping and diving and ducking and sidestepping and weaving and trying not to answer any questions on this. The most important footnote that Todd Barclay will leave in this Parliament is that he will go down as the person who managed to shoot himself in the foot and his leader and his party in the head all with one bullet.Leadership—Leadership 101 says: "In a crisis be decisive and actively communicate." So how decisive has Bill English been in this? This is what he said about the recording: "I didn't know about the recording." And then it was: "I did know about the recording." He said: "I made a statement to police". He said: "I was asked if I wanted to listen to the recording." Then we hear that Parliamentary Service knew about the recording all the time and now—yesterday it was—we heard that the recording was about sex and drugs. Then we heard from the Prime Minister that actually the recording may not even exist.Now the Prime Minister is a good Catholic. He goes to church on Sundays. I am a pretty failed Anglican but John 8:32 says: "The truth shall set you free." The Prime Minister needs to know that if he just told the truth it would set him free. So this is a classic example of a confused mixed-up defensive "I've got something to hide" leader.Active communication as I said is the second part of being a decisive leader. The emphasis is on the "active". A decisive leader would have jumped up and front-footed the issue. He would have said: "This is what I know. This is when I knew it. This is what I did. And this is how it's been resolved." Instead we have got this ducking and diving and sidestepping. We have seen Simon Bridges trying to shield the Prime Minister. We have seen Steven Joyce trying to divert our—the country's—attention to something else and we have seen the backbench there with a rush defence a lot slower than the Lions but still offside.Let me just talk about Awataha Marae. I am really sorry that two out of 80-something American teenagers did not enjoy their marae experience. I am really sorry that two out of 80-something American teenagers did not enjoy their mince and fried bread for dinner. I am really sorry that two out of 80-something American teenagers had to wait an extra few minutes because one shower out of eight was broken—but welcome to our world New Zealand. Those people over that side of the House do not even know what a marae is have probably never ever driven past one never stayed at one never picked up a tea towel never peeled a spud never done anything on a marae and I do not know why they are bagging Māoris in maraes. It is totally unacceptable from that crew over there who are totally out of touch."
