Patterson MarkHon MARK PATTERSON (Minister for Rural Communities): Mr Speaker thank you. New Zealand First continues to support the repeal of the clean vehicle discount scheme. May I just endorse the fine speech that we've heard from Mr Court—one of the more brave speeches I've heard. Starting out with an anecdote about being a dinosaur he did well to pull that one round.The last point that he made and that's been introduced to me since the first reading is the $302 million fiscal hole that this scheme was running into. This is a time when we've got a $3.4 billion Budget deficit and a huge infrastructure crisis but yet the Labour Government chose to subsidise Teslas—absolutely unbelievable.Where I would take issue with Julie Anne Genter is she talked about how we need tweaking solutions—well this is kind of what that was. We actually don't; we need step changes in decarbonising. This is why the electrify New Zealand programme—that big picture stuff to massively scale-up our generation of renewable energy wind solar geothermal and hydro. If you'd listened to Minister Jones yesterday or the day before you would have heard about the new fast-track planning legislation which is going to make this stuff happen. We've lost all ability to build things in this country and this Government is going to turn that around. We are going to build stuff and this piece of legislation will do far more than taxing tradies and farmers who might want a ute or low-income families that may want a people mover. I cannot believe how out of touch the Labour Party is with their core working-class base.In fact I will give an exception Mr Speaker to your good self. I had the pleasure of accompanying you recently to your electorate and going to the Johnsonville working men's club where you were well received by your—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Greg O'Connor): We don't bring the Speaker into these debates do we Mr Patterson as an experienced member?Hon MARK PATTERSON: Apologies Mr Speaker. I accompanied the member from Ōhāriu into his electorate where he was well received. In the car park I did not see Teslas; I saw utes. We did talk to tradies. The president of the club is a painter and decorator. Those are the people that you are punishing. It's no wonder that that the member from Ōhāriu was one of the few Labour MPs to retain an electorate seat.We have committed to putting some certainty around the emissions trading scheme which the Labour Government tinkered with to the point of absolutely trashing it—against James Shaw's recommendations. And we have sent clear signals to the market.We're doing other things too in the macro. Low-methane genetics and blue carbon have the ability to solve a lot of our problems. We're doing this sensibly not with nanny State micro-managing solutions that disadvantage some members of our public over others. So New Zealand First continue to support the introduction of this bill. Thank you Mr Speaker.Darleen Tana: Mr Speaker.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Greg O'Connor): Certainly. Now I'm going to have to consult my list here unless you offer me your name—it might be easier.Darleen Tana: I'm Darleen Tana for the Green Party.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Greg O'Connor): Darleen Tama.Darleen Tana: Tana—as in ton of awesome. Kia ora.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Greg O'Connor): Go ahead.
