Macindoe Tim: Sittings of the HouseText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeMacindoe Tim: Sittings of the House[Sitting date: 06 November 2014. Volume:701;Page:708. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]The National Government has an agenda of denial but New Zealand faces profound problems and a whole array of them. There are thousands of New Zealand families in caravans and in all sorts of unsatisfactory housing who would want this Parliament in the 10 days after 10 December all the way to 24 December to make it a priority. But no no the National Party members want to go and have a long holiday. Mind you it is not the kind of thing they think the ordinary workers should get. It is not the kind of thing they want the middle class to get.Tim Macindoe: Talk to your whip.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: Oh here we go. No no unlike the National Party we do not have a little convenient committee to decide what is going on. The rather excited gentleman who after all this time in Parliament has got a job as the whip—Tim Macindoe: Go on—insult me. Don’t deal with the issue. That’s your usual style.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: Well I struck a nerve obviously. Can you hear that noise? It is the greatest and longest speech he has ever made! And I can see why he cannot bear the consequences. That is the kind of Stasi behaviour we expect from National today. In short if we do not take what he recommends he gets upset. Where does he sit in this Parliament? Well he has finally got to the whips’ office—and that is about as far as he will go. They in National want a prolonged holiday. The timetable for parliamentary business as set out in the motion is in many respects an insult to hard-working New Zealanders who send us here to do our job; not to have long interminable holidays. But you see that is the way National organises things. Everybody but four in the National Government now has a job. Everyone but four now has a job.As for consultation did it consult any other party about being a chair of a select committee? A deputy chair? Not one job! This is so unique. This is so unique. I can recall when National would give other parties a chance to chair committees like the Regulations Review Committee and others. But you see the hysteria from the backbench having been here 5 minutes—and most of them will last only that long. They will be gone so fast we will not see them for dust and small pebbles. But there they are shouting like the storm troopers that they are trying to complain about someone asking for longer harder working hours for MPs. I know what their wont is. Most of these guys are Tea Party - type operators. That is how they got here. Oh yes they did. Oh yes they did. I can name the people across here who tea-partied their way into this Parliament. Whilst people like Hutchison were doing a great job in their electorate they were carefully undermining him to the extent that one day he turned around and lost his seat. Not just one but over and over again.Now I want to know why the issue of massive debt is not going to be debated for the rest of this year. The man who is looking in the mirror over there Simon O’Connor is from Tāmaki. Remember Tāmaki used to have a dynamic member called Muldoon. Look what they have got now. They went from the sublime to the ridiculous. And he has gone as far as he will ever go. He has been made the chair of a select committee. Gentlemen at the back here be very careful here—Simon O’Connor: More votes than your whole party put together.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: These words are to help you. Look they are here for your survival. Do not listen to what these guys are saying over there. They want to go home so that you cannot ask any more questions at caucus. They want to run things by Cabinet. That is why New Zealand First says this motion should be rejected. We should be here all the way to 24 December 2014 because we face in social and economic areas the greatest crisis we have in modern times.Hon Member: Name your MPs.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: Name our MPs? I do not have to name my MPs.
