Mitchell Mark; Rurawhe AdrianHon MARK MITCHELL (National—Whangaparāoa): What New Zealanders need to be aware of is that under this Government we're importing three times more dirty Indonesian coal into New Zealand. When Grant Robertson gets up and speaks in the House we can smell the coal on his breath. It's the same with Megan Woods. And by the way when most countries are actually trying to transition into cleaner fuels using gas what have we done? We've done it using Indonesian coal—we've done it using Indonesian coal. Well done Government! And she's got the gall to stand up in this House and start challenging us on what we want to do and the fact that we want to use the emissions trading scheme (ETS). By the way the ETS has been very effective. It's already been adopted through many sectors and actually—surprise surprise—a lot of businesses and industries in New Zealand take climate change seriously. They are making positive steps to try and reduce emissions and maybe this Government should actually trust them a bit more and work with them a bit more closely; unlike what they've done with the primary industries where they came up with He Waka Eke Noa which was a very good proposal; they're taking it seriously. What does the Government do? What does the Minister do? What does the Minister do on the Mike Hosking show? She turns around and when I said Why don't you just adopt and work with what the primary industries are saying?" she said to me "That's why you shouldn't be in Government." An arrogant Government that thinks that they are the only ones that have got the good ideas. They think that they're the only ones that can make the decisions. An arrogant Government already in its second term. Actually it was arrogant in its first term. I just want to get back to crime in this country because I have never seen crime and lawlessness at the levels at which we are currently seeing in New Zealand. It is serious and then there's a big human toll attached to this. The one thing that I'm really disappointed about is that during question time my friend Paul Goldsmith asked the Minister of Justice why we don't hear about victims much any more—what are they actually doing to put victims at the heart of our criminal justice system which is where they should be. In her reply she said "We don't control the sentencing. We don't control the consequences. That sits with the judges." Yes that does sit with the judges. I acknowledge that and I accept that. But the one piece of legislation that we actually had on our books was the three strikes legislation. That was the one bit of legislation that actually removed the bit of discretion from the judges. It was actually the voice of the people and the voice of the victims that said "Actually you're going to apply some proper consequences." And what did they do? They rushed into this House before anything else—so the only bit of legislation that victims' advocacy and support groups have come to the select committee and made submissions on saying "Please don't get rid of it." where the victims' voices to this Government were saying "Please do not get rid of this legislation." what did they do? They rushed it through the House. It was their priority. So don't come into this House crying crocodile tears on the other side of the House and say that you take victims seriously. You don't. You don't listen to them. You rejected their submissions and you got rid of the one bit of legislation that actually meant that there was some proper tough sentencing in this House. And you can give me all the puzzled looks you want—you can give me all the puzzled looks you want. You know exactly what I'm talking about. And now we're dealing with a tsunami of youth and juvenile offending. One ram raid every 15 hours—a 500 percent increase in ram raids since 2018. Get your head around that one. A 500 percent increase. There have been more ram raids in 2022 than there were in 2018 2019 and 2020 combined. When I'm doing public safety meetings around the country of which I've done 15—standing room only—if there's South Africans in the room they'll come up to me and they'll say "We came to New Zealand 20 years ago because this was a safe country and we wanted to raise our families in a safe country." And they said "The things that we see now in this country with ram raid after ram raid with carjackings with the rise in violent crime if we don't get on top of it then we're going to look like South Africa in another 10 or 15 years."That is a warning that we need to heed and we need to respond to. We need to get behind our police force. I'm sick of these guys saying they have to work faster and work harder. They're dealing with a tsunami of crime that's stretching them that's stretched our brave blue line which means that they're having to prioritise now. They can have up to 60 or 70 jobs waiting in a queue to be attended and they can have two police units. So just think about that. The Police Commissioner said last week there's been a 60 percent increase in family crime family harm incidents and mental health incidents whilst there's been a 20 increase in numbers. Just think about that. So when these guys stand and say "You're going to move faster"—SPEAKER: Order! Your time has expired."
