King Annette: General DebateText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeKing Annette: General Debate[Sitting date: 19 February 2014. Volume:696;Page:16078. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon ANNETTE KING (Labour—Rongotai): I am very happy to have as many interjections as that lazy Government over there can provide. I want to start off by asking why this debate included Nathan Guy today because why would you put up a loser as a member to speak—the losing member forŌtaki? I was in Levin yesterday. I went up there to service his electorate because he does not. Ten members of the public came to see me in Levin yesterday. Why? Because they cannot get an appointment with him. You see he is too important to see the people ofŌtaki. In fact he does not give a damn. To use his own words he does not give a damn about the people ofŌtaki. Byebye Nathan Guy I say to him. He reflects the week after week arrogance of the National members of Parliament. You know they are so puffed up these days.The old egos are very bloated and they are the know-it-alls of Parliament. We have Judith Collins. Judith is here to give advice on what we all should wear and what ourattire should be. She is the know-all of the attire of Parliament. She knows what makes a nice jacket and what makes an ugly one. Then we have Tau Henare. He is here to lecture us about media neutrality. The old talkback host—of course he knows a lot about that.Then we have my cousin—you cannot pick your relatives—Chris Finlayson. Of course he inherited the nasty gene of the family unfortunately. I have beaten him twice and I increased the majority last time. I gather he is going to stand against me for a third time in Rongotai. Bring it on because the majority will be even bigger. He is here to lay down the rules on where to put your commas and whether you should wear jandals.Then we have Gerry Brownlee. He places a ban on any interview with any media person who happens to question him. Then we have the junior Minister Simon Bridges who often loses his rag in this place. Now he is so important that he will not even answer questions.But the doozy of them all has to be the Prime Minister John Key. Well I have noticed over the last few weeks that he has become totally fixated manic and paranoid about the Green Party. He manages to include them in just about every sentence that he uses. But whom do National members listen to for advice? They are certainly not listening to the people you would normally expect that they would listen to. They are experts on everything! But whom are they listening to for advice? It is not the Salvation Army because John Key said it ought to get out and look at what is happening on the street. He said that to the Salvation Army. I have to say that they are not listening to the Children’s Commissioner because they are taking no notice of his ideas about poverty. They are not listening to the New Zealand Police which is telling them that it is short of cash and it cannot fund front-line police. They are not listening to health professionals who are telling them that there are problems in our health system. In fact it is reflected I have to say in an aid that I am using today.Mr SPEAKER: And the member is using it well too might I add.Hon ANNETTE KING: This aid reflects the fact that Tony Ryall is slipping in popularity with our health professionals because obviously they find his health policies very very poor indeed.So who are National members listening to? Well we now know whom they listen to. The Prime Minister told us. They listen to Cameron Slater. For those who do not know who Cameron Slater is he is that infamousblogger called Whale Oil Beef Hooked. The Prime Minister has admitted that he talks to Cameron Slater a lot about political events because he has got an insightful mind. Cameron Slater is the man who calls people “feral” when they die when they are killed in car accidents. Well he is Paula Bennett’sbestie. Here I have a little photo of them together. He has been advising Paula Bennett on her policy on children. And what does he say about children? Well here is some of his advice especially if a child dies. He calls them “SOCKs”. If you do not know what “SOCKs” are I have to tell you that it is so obscene and it is so offensive that I could not use the word in the House. But that is what Cameron Slater who advises the Prime Minister and Paula Bennett says about children when they die in New Zealand. He also says that if children have a silly first name then that leads to their death so somehow it is their fault. The last thing he says is that Māori are not caring for their kids. That advice is what goes to the National Party members from its main adviser Cameron Slater. They should be ashamed of themselves.
