Peters Winston: General DebateText is incorporated into the Bound VolumePeters Winston: General Debate[Sitting date: 14 May 2014. Volume:698;Page:17831. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First): I moveThat the House take note of miscellaneous business. Tomorrow the Minister of Finance will deliver his sixth Budget. New Zealanders will want to see some real serious thinking in that Budget and some straight talking because up till now—Hon Tau Henare: Where’s the horse?Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: There is no requirement to declare a horse so stop the deceit stop the lies stop the character assassination know the law and do not be a dummy like Tau Henare saying any old thing. You will not win on character assassination and gentlemen we are in no hurry to ease your pain. We are in no hurry to skewer you like the tired elephant you are. We are going to do it tomorrow the next day and next week and we will see who is right or wrong. [Interruption]I have heard that sort of claim before. Where is the evidence? Let me tell you if you go back over a long history we have never ever failed to get home. Back to the point—oh by the way there was a former Prime Minister—[Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order! I am sorry to interrupt the member. He is enjoying a very robust debate but the level of noise coming from the right-hand back corner is now excessive and I require it to be toned down substantially.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: Thank you Mr Speaker. They will be far more hysterical than that I can promise you. But I know what nervous looks like—laughing above the desk knees knocking below it. There was a former Prime Minister who said: “He says he’s got a smoking gun; all he’s got is a cap gun.” That man was David Lange. The Minister was Wētere. When I got back from Hawaii I proved it categorically as I will that Judith Collins deceived the House the public and worst of all those lowly cannon fodder products at the back who are shrieking about the results of this. You mark my words because failure when we are after someone who has committed a grave breach of privilege and a conflict of interest is not in our handbook.But back to the point. They are going to say tomorrow: “You have had the pain; now here is the gain.” When did we last hear that we have had the pain and now here is the gain? All the spin and all the hype and all the nonsensical types of answers you just heard from Nick Smith—what hysterical nonsense! No one knows but Nick knows. Young Nick should not even be there. He should not be there. There are almost 150000 unemployed. On top of that there are another 100000 looking for more work—underutilised underemployed ordinary Kiwis are being squeezed.Soon Mr Henare will know what being squeezed is because he will not be able to get a job. If he was so good why did they give him the bum’s rush? This is a man who is meant to be esteemed in Māoridom. We have a show for Māori that is on at the weekendMaraeand who turned up? That well-known Māori Jami-Lee Ross: “I am in Parliament now—tell me what is my iwi?”. Oh Claudette Hauiti. Oh over there; the most senior Minister at the time—where was Hekia? Oh she could not turn up onMarae. You know why? It would not matter who turned up it was going to be a cakewalk from the start and it was.At the end of last year—[Interruption] Look I appreciate this. I know that really you are loving this but you know it is imperilling your career. I know you are loving it but it is going to imperil your career. Back at home your relations are saying to you: “Boys don’t be silly. You’re going to get taken apart and we’ll have to find a job for you on 21 September. Why did you not pay attention to Winston when he told you? You are on a hiding to nothing in this campaign.”I tell you what: you cannot get away with spin and bumf and all the other things when in fact people in New Zealand want tomorrow afternoon a plan that will diversify our economy. They want a plan that gives our people hope for the future and says to our young people: “Stay in New Zealand because it will be great one day soon.” But they will never get that plan from National. So as they say in Māoridom it is time for a new net to go fishing and go fishing we will.
