Bridges SimonGENERAL DEBATEHon SIMON BRIDGES (Leader of the Opposition): I move That the House take note of miscellaneous business.We're on the eve of Christmas and I for one am looking forward to the first of many Christmas parties tonight. Of course we're also Grant Robertson at the back end of two long years of this Labour-led Government. What have they done this week? After two full years of delivering diddly-squat for New Zealanders well they've jumped into action haven't they? Grant Robertson's jumped up. He's got a wheelbarrow full of cash he's put it in front of a fan and he's letting it blow everywhere—he's letting it blow everywhere from that wheelbarrow of cash. They're rushing though reform of our electoral laws. It achieves basically nothing but they're doing it anyway and they've also got a reformed rushed cannabis law that has many more questions than it has answers. Why are they doing this you might ask—why are they doing this? Well I think Grant Robertson knows the truth. And that's that his polls—and the Prime Minister says she gets them every week in her inbox—are saying the same thing as our polls and our polls are saying the same thing as the TV polls and that's that two years in New Zealanders have woken up to the fact and are working out that this Government can't deliver for New Zealand and hasn't delivered diddly-squat. And they are panicking and they are scrambling.Let me say one more thing they are failing to deliver on is the economy. Where's the growth? We're looking everywhere; it's like a Where's Wally? puzzle. It's potentially somewhere but it's incredibly small Grant Robertson and we can't see it anywhere.Job growth has gone from 10000—Hon Member: Grab a mirror—that's where Wally is!Hon SIMON BRIDGES: —a month just two years ago—SPEAKER: No no. Order! Order! That's enough of that type of interjection. It might have been slightly invited but it is not going to continue.Hon SIMON BRIDGES: —to 70 percent fewer new jobs in just two short years. Cost of living: up—skyrocketing. Poverty: up. Jacinda Ardern—I noticed she did not like those questions yesterday from Jack Tame or from me actually where the city missioners are telling her to her face that they want National back. That's what they want; they want National back.KiwiBuild was meant to be—what is it?—100000 houses over a decade. Two long years in how many have they done Winston Peters? They've done 300—300. I mean he gets more money in the secret account than he does from that; we all know that—300.Infrastructure: I asked Jacinda Ardern yesterday I gave her another chance today; not a single significant infrastructure project delivered under this Government. Health: worse. Education: worse—in complete disarray. So the scramble—both the lolly scramble and the egg scramble—is going on. See Grant Robertson's looking because he knows what I'm saying is right and he's got an infrastructure spend-up coming. He's going to break it—he didn't want to say it when Paul Goldsmith was asking him questions before—and he's getting rid of his debt responsibility laws. Another broken promise from the Labour Party—and it matters.But here's the real kicker for Grant Robertson and his team over there: next week they tell us that we're going to see a great big list of projects. Is that right Grant Robertson—a great big list of infrastructure; Significant" he keeps saying. "It will be significant"—it will be significant. Well it should have a label saying "buyer beware" Grant Robertson. He know what I'm saying is true because announcements aren't delivery.A hundred thousand houses—if it was that easy where are they? Nowhere to be seen. Light rail down Dominion Road: we're not going to see that by 2030 Grant Robertson. So because they're promises they can't meet they're going to give us a new fake list of projects—we're going to see a new fake list of projects. Well on this side of the House Grant Robertson we know how to get things done. National knows how to get things done. We are going to make sure that the stuff we did in Government we keep doing when we're back in Government. We've got more policies than that side right now.At the end of the second year New Zealanders are making up their minds. They know that's a Government that can't deliver for them that's not out for much and National gets things done."
