Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Hon PHIL GOFF (Labour—Mt Roskill):Ask any farmer what the most important thing has been for them in the last 5 years and they would say it is winning access to the fastest-growing market in the world China. That free-trade agreement where exports have trebled from $2 billion to $6 billion a year was negotiated under a Labour Government. Ask any educationalist what is the most important thing that happened to education funding. It was opening New Zealand up to international students and that was done by a very far-sighted Minister of Education in the Labour Government before that. I am too modest to acknowledge who that might have been. Where Kate Wilkinson got it wrong was when she said that David Parker was talking about personalities. David Parker was not talking about personalities. He was talking about honesty and integrity and the fact that this National Government clings to power on the back of two MPs whose credibility and integrity in the eyes of the public have been absolutely shattered.John Key who promised higher standards from his Ministers has put his fingers over his nose and kept John Banks and Peter Dunne on as supporters of his Government because he wants to cling to power. I want to say this about John Banks. He turned up at Kim Dotcom’s mansion and reckoned he could not remember seeing the fattest man in the biggest house which he visited by helicopter. He asked for $50000: “Oh please MrKim Dotcom two cheques of $25000 so I don’t have to declare it.”—that was not the law anyway. And then he told the public that the donations were anonymous. That broke the law that was a lie and that man has no integrity.John Key said this: “to make a contribution you have to have integrity and to have integrity there has to be a directness and fullness in your answers.” Well perhaps he should give that advice to Mr Dunne. Mr Dunne would not pass over in confidence to David Henry the texts of his messages to a journalist because it would have incriminated him as being the person who leaked the document on the Government Communications Security Bureau. What did Mr Key say about that 2 months ago? He said that “these leaks undermine the integrity of the entire Public Service.” Mr Key said that he had a responsibility to get to the bottom of that if he could. You know the last thing Mr Key wants to know is the truth about who leaked that document. He knows. [Interruption ] John Hayes knows. Everybody in this Chamber knows and New Zealand knows that those documents were leaked by Peter Dunne and that is why he would not in confidence give those texts to the head of the inquiry David Henry.When Mr Dunne took his oath of office and the Ministers in the House will recognise this he swore in front of his colleagues and in front of the Governor-General that “I will not directly nor indirectly reveal such matters as shall be debated in [the Executive] Council and committed to my secrecy but that I will in all things be a true and faithful Councillor. So help me God.” That was the oath that Peter Dunne took as a member of the Executive Council and he breached that solemn promise. He broke that promise. I want to know this from Mr Key. Why is it that when staff members at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade without any evidence against them are suspected of leaking information they have to swear on oath that they did not but Peter Dunne was never required to say on oath that he did not leak that document? John Key could require that of him tomorrow. He could require that of him tomorrow but John Key does not want to know the truth because he knows that a man who broke the oath of office is not a man fit to sit in this Parliament and yet he Mr Key relies on Mr Dunne and Mr Banks to keep National in office. There is a stench over there of members of Parliament who have breached their basic responsibilities.I say this about Mr Dunne. He is no whistleblower. Whistleblowing is an honourable occupation where you throw sunlight on things that it is in the interests of the public to know. Peter Dunne had no such honourable motive. John Key keeps those people in the House when they have lost their integrity and the public have lost confidence in them.
