Dyson RuthHon RUTH DYSON (Labour—Port Hills): I have to admire that member's gall.Hon Judith Collins: But you always do.Hon RUTH DYSON: She comes to this House—that's pretty much all I admire. She comes to this House and accuses this side of the House of economic vandalism and then she talks about leadership battles within Labour. That is gall to be admired from any distance.Dr Duncan Webb: Irony.Hon RUTH DYSON: And irony. I have watched many leadership battles within my own party and I tell you what it is bliss watching it in the National Party and it's nowhere near over yet. I think the Hon Judith Collins knows that the Hon Amy Adams certainly knows that and Jami-Lee Ross is absolutely sure of where he's going in the future. Simon Bridges' time is limited. And couldn't you tell that? Couldn't we tell that from the response to his speech leading off the general debate today? Not a single bit of support from the back bench—not a single bit of support.Then following his contribution was Paula Bennett. The fact that Paula Bennett is still the deputy leader of the National Party comes as a huge surprise particularly to her colleagues. I've heard them say the only reason she survived was because Judith Collins was the opposition. But that isn't a very high bar for the deputy leader who was just a couple of weeks before being confirmed being publicly criticised by her own colleagues. So don't come into the House and lecture this side of the House on leadership battles when the National Party's leadership battles are so obvious and are dividing them.The other comment that I thought had gall to be admired from Judith Collins was talking about economic vandalism. That's coming from a Minister as part of a Government that borrowed more money than any Government in the history of our country. The National Government borrowed more money than any other Government in the history of our country. They stopped contributions to the New Zealand Superannuation Fund so we lost money that would otherwise have been invested in our future and they didn't pay the bills and then crowed about having a surplus. It's actually not hard to get a small surplus if you don't pay the bills. If the bills of Government are not paid then a surplus can be created but that is cheating on New Zealanders and worse than that it's cheating on the future of our young people. I am really proud to be part of this Government: this Government made up of Labour New Zealand First and Green Party members all with different particular policies and identities but a shared set of values that says the future of New Zealand is worth investing in. I'm proud to be part of a Government that is doing that investment. We've seen investment in housing in health in public transport in road safety and in joblessness in our regions. It's heartbreaking going to some provincial towns and seeing the destruction that was caused by nine years of neglect by the National Party—young people with no hope except moving to a city no hope in their own town. That is wrong and I'm so pleased to see our Ministers working together to address those.Of course as a result of that joblessness in our provincial centres of the lack of hope of young people for a place in the future for them we have seen rising crime. We're investing in State houses and they will be warm and dry. We have put the bar up on our rental properties so they will be warm and dry as well. We have people children and elderly people particularly going to hospital with diseases because they live in a cold damp house. How can that be right in a country like ours?There are many things that I've been proud of in the last few months as we've kicked off this Government but I do think that restarting the contribution to the New Zealand Superannuation Fund is one which will see us better off in the future—not for our generation but for younger ones—and we should really really support that. Of course there is our Families Package which will see so many thousands of families getting on average $75 extra a week. That's a really huge boost to those families. They deserve it and they deserve a better future with our Government.
