McAnulty KieranKIERAN McANULTY (Labour—Wairarapa): The people want aspiration leadership and delivery. That's exactly what they wanted at the last election and that is why they voted 50 percent for the Labour Party. That is why we have 65 seats in this Parliament because at the last election the voters of this country saw that rabble over there and said They are not aspirational for us. They cannot deliver for themselves let alone this country." and they know that that speech from that member sums up them perfectly. In the space of one minute that member said that we should be spending less and then said we should be spending more and that sums up the National Party right there. It was exactly the same as their response to our COVID response which this Budget builds on. At one point they had one spokesperson saying we should open the borders; at another point they were saying we should close them off. At one point they were saying that we should spend more on businesses and now they're saying we didn't spend enough. I think that there sums up why they only have 33 members in this House and why they are focused on themselves when we on this side of the House—demonstrated by this Budget—are focused on New Zealanders and rebuilding from our phenomenal response in COVID.Now don't take my word for it. Look at the international organisations that have reviewed the respective COVID responses from around the world. Think about those countries throughout the COVID response that that side of the House urged us to follow—countries that have now entered their second or third nationwide lockdown. New Zealand stands alone in the developed world as a country that went hard and went early and that is why we are now enjoying economic growth that really is the envy of the world. That is why through this Budget we are able to invest in our rebuild. We're able to invest in our future. I find it just incredible that that side of the House when they were in Government raised the minimum wage every year that they were in and every time we do it they say it's a bad idea. They crow about the fact that they increased benefits but when we do it it's a bad idea.I think New Zealanders can see rubbish when they see it and I think they can see it tonight. When that side of the House flicks through stands up and says they're outraged and then like Mr Watts spends two minutes explaining to New Zealanders what this bill is about instead of actually talking about what National would do they haven't given any ideas or any alternatives; they just don't like it. It's the party of "No". "No-no National"—that's all they are. What this Budget does is lift people's opportunity. The previous speaker had the gall to talk about families that have to work two jobs. Why are they opposing raising working standards? Why are they opposing raising minimum wage? Why are they opposing raising benefits when they know that for small businesses in areas like I represent—like Wairarapa—their turnover is dependent on people's capacity to spend? Yet in this Budget which lifts thousands of people out of economic difficulty they will finally have some disposable income which will support small businesses. Those members do not care because they do not like the idea of beneficiaries having dignity in the money that they receive. They do not care about those that are wanting to improve their lives and that is why they opposed the training incentive allowance. Do you remember that? Do you remember the training incentive allowance that brought the Hon Paula Bennett off the benefit and into work? The first thing she did as Minister for Social Development was pull the ladder up after her. She removed the training incentive allowance for other people to have those opportunities. We have reinstated that because we are wanting to give people hope again.We know the value of work and we want to help people get back into work earn money for themselves and regain dignity in their lives because on this side of the House we believe in people. We want to give people a chance. We know that everyone has something to offer. That is why I firmly believe the Labour Party won every single seat except Epsom in the party vote. That is why despite last week at Fieldays the National Party were crowing of being the party for the farmers and they were disgusted by the positive comments that we were getting. They refuse to accept that we are delivering for the regions. We are the party for every New Zealander; this Budget sums it up and they hate it.DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! The member's time has expired.Hon Gerry Brownlee: Mr Speaker. DEPUTY SPEAKER: No it's a Labour call.Hon Gerry Brownlee: Is it?DEPUTY SPEAKER: That was a Māori Party call.Hon Gerry Brownlee: How's that work—how did they get two in a row?DEPUTY SPEAKER: Because the Māori Party didn't take their call.Hon Gerry Brownlee: Well they've gone—that's it. They don't—you can't swap it out.DEPUTY SPEAKER: No it—I'll explain—Hon Gerry Brownlee: Well we're making new rules.DEPUTY SPEAKER: No that's a determination of the Business Committee and so that's what the speaking order is. When the Māori Party don't take their call it goes to Labour."
