Bennett David: Tariff (Free Trade Agreement between New Zealand and the Republic of Korea) Amendment Bill — Second ReadingText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeBennett David: Tariff (Free Trade Agreement between New Zealand and the Republic of Korea) Amendment Bill — Second Reading[Sitting date: 10 September 2015. Volume:708;Page:6574. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East): From the first Labour speech there you would think the Labour Party was actually a party in favour of trade. From the second speaker from the Labour Party Phil Goff you actually would have thought for the first 8 minutes that he also was in favour of trade. I respect the past history of Mr Goff but the last 2 minutes of his speech were just rubbish.Mr Goff negotiated the free-trade agreement with China. When that member negotiated the free-trade agreement with China did he put in a rule saying that Chinese cannot buy property in New Zealand? Did he put that in there? Did he do that? Is there a rule stopping Chinese purchases in New Zealand? Chinese purchasers can purchase in New Zealand can they not Mr Goff? A Chinese national can purchase in New Zealand can they not? That is the truth of the matter. That is allowed under the New Zealand - China free-trade agreement. There is the ability for a Chinese resident to purchase in New Zealand. And yet when we do a South Korean agreement the Labour Party wants to have a different rule. It wants to make sure—Hon Phil Goff: No it’s the same rule.DAVID BENNETT: No no no no it is not. It is not actually.Hon Phil Goff: It’s your fault.DAVID BENNETT: The reality is—no no no no Mr Goff. A Chinese resident can purchase in New Zealand and you are saying that South Korean residents should not be able to purchase in New Zealand. That is what he is saying in this House tonight. That is what Mr Goff is saying here and it goes back to the Labour Party around free trade.The Labour Party does not know where it stands on free trade. Its members are coming into this House and supporting this free-trade agreement voting for this free-trade agreement and looking at the Opposition parties that are against it and tearing strips off them. But the reality is does Labour support the Trans-Pacific Partnership? No it does not. The Labour Party does not support the Trans-Pacific Partnership—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): All right order! We are now 2 minutes into the member’s speech. I think it is fair to say that he has been attacking members in a way that if they had taken a point of order they would have had some support. The member will first of all stop shaking his head like that and secondly he will address the bill.DAVID BENNETT: Well the bill is the trade agreement with Korea and a big part of that trade agreement is looking at where the political parties stand. Labour members have said that they are voting for this bill. They have mentioned in their speeches the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement as well and they are speeches that have come from the Labour Party.But the Labour Party will not support free trade in general. It will not support it. That is the problem in the Labour Party at the moment. On one side of the Labour Party we have people like Mr Goff and Mr Parker who came here and spoke about free trade. They said that it was a good thing. But then you have got Mr Little who is there only because of the unions. He was not voted in by his members—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): Order! The member will resume his seat. The member will now address the bill. There is nothing in this bill on the area that he is currently speaking on. If I have to interrupt him again his speech will be terminated.DAVID BENNETT: The members over there want to know what the bill is about. Well it is about free trade. Look at New Zealand First and the Green Party. They are against this bill. The most bigoted party in this House is against this bill because it does not believe that New Zealanders should have free-trade agreements. The New Zealand First Party does not believe in free trade—Chris Hipkins: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I appreciate the comments were not directed at this particular party but I am pretty sure it is unparliamentary to refer to a member or parties or a collective group of members as bigoted.Richard Prosser: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I appreciate the comments from the Labour senior whip. I did hear the term and if it is necessary to note an offence on behalf of the House we will do that but in actual fact my colleague and I did not regard the member’s opinion as being worthy of taking offence to.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): Well I think the first thing we will have is that Mr Prosser will withdraw his last comment.Richard Prosser: I withdraw.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): Mr Bennett will withdraw and apologise.DAVID BENNETT: I also withdraw and apologise but the New Zealand First Party goes—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): Right order! The member will now resume his seat. The member’s speech is terminated. The member knows that he does not say “but” after withdrawing and apologising. Dr Russel Norman.David Bennett: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I never used the words “but after”. I started with the next part of my speech so I request the Assistant Speaker—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): The member will now resume his seat. Dr Russel Norman.David Bennett: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): I am warning the member. If he is going to dispute the ruling that I have made terminating his speech after two warnings and I think a deliberate contravention and continuation of something that I had indicated he was to stop—if he does it again then his speech will not only be terminated but so will his presence.
