Mark RonRON MARK (Deputy Leader—NZ First): Before I start I want to regretfully criticise this Government on a very serious matter. This week we saw the heinous terrorist bombing in St Petersburg that has so far claimed the lives of 14 innocent people and wounded 50 more. New Zealand First wanted to put in for a debatable motion but held off in the belief that the Government would have put one up following the recent bombing in London. So New Zealand First wishes to record in Hansard that we are expressing our deepest sympathies with the Russian people and especially with the victims of this latest Islamic terrorist act that took place in St Petersburg.The great Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir once observed that ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and indifference falls short. Boy that sums up this Government being one of all talk and no action. Look at what we have just heard today. Aucklanders can rejoice at light rail to the airport in 2047 when the Minister for Overblown Announcements" Simon "10" Bridges will be 70. I ask the Minister responsible for Novopay and the failed campaign manager for the Northland by-election in 2015 Steven Joyce: was not the entire Pūhoi to Wellsford motorway meant to be 2 years away from opening by now? By the way Mr Joyce you are seven bridges short of your pledge.How about Minister Barry Order of New Zealand who might get her way for a predator-free New Zealand in 2050 if myrtle rust which is now 1000 kilometres off Northland wipes out our mānuka wipes out our kānuka pōhutukawa and rata simply because she and her bumbling Government have done nothing to put in place a contingency plan to deal with it. Then again she will be 100 by then—probably talking more sense at that stage than she does currently.What about our Minister of Police Paula Bennett? Well surely if ever there was a female version of Inspector Clouseau she is the classic. Last week she pitched up at Thames with more post-dated promises only to be countered by those who lived the reality of Labour and National—you know the Pepsi and Coke of politics—that they are soft on crime and soft on the causes of crime. What better evidence do we have of that than Labour's pledge to raise the age of criminal responsibility something National vehemently opposed whilst it was in Opposition only to see now National ramming that very same legislation through supported by Labour—the Pepsi and Coke coalition? In fact look for it. You heard it here first. The grand coalition is almost formed—the grand coalition of National and Labour.But the thing that is getting us is that the thin blue line which stretches from Thames Whitianga Paeroa and Coromandel averaged only 8.3 officers on duty over the Christmas and New Year period. It is a time when burglars we know had a 96 percent success rate of burgling homes cars and property in that very same region. Minister Bennett's response was to say: "We're not using official stats." Thank you Minister. We know exactly why you are not using them and the truth has outed. Crime is on the increase and indeed crime is currently out of control. If anyone needs any more proof just go and talk to the Indian shopkeepers who caught the burglar only to have to be forced into the Government's catch and release policy of letting the shoplifter go because the police were not going to be there.I have to raise one more issue. We say from New Zealand First sorry to Bani and Hemant Manglani who were tourists in New Zealand on 25 March who had their car burgled their passports and iPhones stolen and tried to get police for support but were told by the police that they would come only if the offender was still on the property or on the premises. So go back to our shopkeeper who had the offender in custody and the police said: "Oh we're too busy. We can't come."This is a Government in total disarray on law and order. This is a Government with Inspector Clouseau-ess in charge of police. The country deserves better and on 23 September it is going to get it. It will be a New Zealand First - led Government."
