Woods MeganHon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Energy and Resources): Thank you Mr Speaker. It is an absolute joy to stand here as this Government gets to the end of 100 days where in that time we have achieved more than the previous Government did in nine long years. We have passed our Families Package; we have passed an extension to paid parental leave to 26 weeks; we have increased the minimum wage starting on 1 April; we have announced changes to strengthen workers' rights; we have announced legislation to set child poverty reduction targets into law; we've introduced a law to ban overseas speculation; we've started setting up KiwiBuild; we've set zero-carbon emissions goals; we've set up the Pike River Recovery Agency—and the list goes on. It is 100 days that on this side of the House we are rightly proud of because we know we are bringing about positive progressive change for our country.The last 100 days haven't been quite the same picture on the Opposition benches. While we've had 100 days of action those guys have had 100 days of roaring up the barbecue. I think it's very apt that tonight at midnight we are going to see a super blue blood moon because I think that very aptly describes what is happening on the opposite benches. And we're not naive to the ways of the world. We've seen this movie before a couple of times. We know how it ends. Just doing a textual analysis of the comments coming out of the National members: Look there's been a little bit of gossip."—that means "The battle lines are drawn the factions are forming the barbecues are roaring and winter is coming." The fact that there have been "frank conversations"—I can't even imagine what that one means and we've seen some stuff over here. But it has been 152 years since we have seen this phenomenon of the super blue blood moon—I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends.But I think I would like to send a message to Bill English: don't worry by 5 a.m. tomorrow morning the moon will be back in the full light of the sun. I think it's worth him remembering that but I think that it will be only a very short-term reprieve for the leader because last night in this House we saw one of the National members literally seize the Iron Throne: we saw the Hon Nikki Kaye give a speech on a bill from the leader's chair. Now I have seen some stuff in my time but I have never seen someone seize the Iron Throne in such a fashion. I know she probably imagines herself more as the mother of dragons Daenerys Targaryen but I would like to say that it's more of a Cersei Lannister kind of move that's happening over there on the Opposition benches.What we are going to see is an Opposition that gets itself obsessed with itself. The factions will form. All we will see is—Hon Maggie Barry: That member knows a lot about self-obsession.Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: —inward-looking things—and yes Ms Barry I do remember those days. That's why I said I know how this movie ends. Now what you will see in that same period while National gets obsessed with itself—the knives are out. On the day the leader gives his state of the nation address we have a leak within the National Party caucus about the ructions that are going on. Instead what you will see on this side of the House is a Government that is intent on bringing about more progressive change for this country. We have only just begun with our first 100 days. We have many many more things that we need to achieve to put this country on the positive track it needs to be on to face the 21st century where everybody gets a fair go. We have launched a mental health inquiry. We know there's further work to be done on that. We know that we need to continue working to make sure that New Zealanders can have access to affordable warm dry housing. We know we need to keep working to make sure that our kids are getting the best education system. And we are committed to New Zealanders not firing up the barbecues. Thank you."
