Bridges SimonGENERAL DEBATEHon SIMON BRIDGES (Leader of the Opposition): I move That the House take note of miscellaneous business.Well our Prime Minister that woke progressive hero of the left internationally has been to the United Nations and she's met with the leader of the free world—no not Winston Peters—President Trump. Did she when she met with him raise our nuclear-free issue of our times" climate change? No. No she didn't. I can understand why you'd say just as Bryce Edwards did that she'd speak truth to power. She didn't raise it. What she did do was speak a lot Winston Peters at the United Nations about climate change and she raised—Rt Hon Winston Peters: Did you raise it in China? No.Hon SIMON BRIDGES: —many many many issues. Yes I did. Many many issues are there but here's the problem: they're not doing any of them in New Zealand. The Government can't agree on putting agriculture into the emissions trading scheme Mr Peters and I wonder why that is. So the person who could make the most difference on climate change in the world and Jacinda Ardern didn't raise it with that person.Then the Christchurch Call—the Christchurch Call. She set up a committee. That's what she's done. She has set up a committee and they are good at that—280-odd committees. Some of them are odd. That's what they've done. They didn't raise that with President Trump either.But what really matters—what really matters—is delivering at home and this Government isn't. It's a mess. The Prime Minister over there had "mega Monday". Well back here she's got mega mess. That's what she's got. Nothing's going right for this Government.We can go through them. We've got Winston Peters over here. Well he said earlier this week that he was going to deal with Spark. Well I stood up in this House and I sought leave to put forward a bill that would do just that and his Government objected. He didn't do a single thing. We're waiting for the answer Mr Peters. We haven't heard a single thing.Then farmers. On the radio last week on The Farming Show he said "Help is on its way my friends. Don't you worry; help is on the way." Well I've got this question for Mr Peters: who is more important him or David Parker? I reckon it's David Parker. I reckon he'll win on that one.And another one: last week SuperGold card—his blessed SuperGold card announcement coming this week. Where is it Mr Peters? They asked him about that this week and he said "What are you talking about? I never said that." That's what he said.In health actually a serious one where there is a Third World measles epidemic. You say "Third World? How can you say that?" Well actually because in Latin America in North America countries with exponentially bigger populations they have comparably actually fewer measles cases than us in this country and part of the reason's because the Minister of Health got rid of the targets. He doesn't know what to do. He doesn't show any leadership on this. The only time he talks about it is when Shane Reti asks him questions. That's the only time we get him on that.In education strikes and uncertainty. In infrastructure; let's go through that. In housing Jacinda Ardern has cancelled more houses at Ihumātao than she's built through KiwiBuild—480 cancelled 250 built. That's a hundred and what is it twenty-something that she is down on—a deficit in housing under Jacinda Ardern and Winston Peters in New Zealand today. In transport well—Grant Robertson last week I got up I asked him "Name a genuinely new transport project you started." He looked around he looked at Phil Twyford. You would've thought the Minister of Transport had one for him. He had nothing. So I came to the House the next day and I asked him the same question. He was ready for it. He listed off a long list. There's a small technical problem though; they were all started by yours truly other than a seawall and a roundabout at Shane Jones' house Mr Peters. That is literally all that's happened. The transport sector knows that construction cliff is coming because that Government stopped everything and they haven't started a single thing and the economy is weakening and this is all because what really matters is delivering it home and this Government isn't doing any of it."
