Little AndrewANDREW LITTLE (Leader of the Opposition): The enjoyable thing about hearing from members on the other side particularly Mr Seymour and particularly Mr Bennett is that if anybody is confused about how Brexit happened and how Trump happened those members illustrate it. They illustrate it. You see they still live the life of 1980s voodoo economics where productivity is not about the skilled labour we can create and is not about the value we can create; it is about being cheap. They live in the world of cheap.You see those members think—they still think—that people believe wealth trickles down. You just have the rich and the wealthy. They will pick and choose the cheapest and they will go wherever they like. You do not have to worry about communities in New Zealand. You do not have to worry about skilled clever talented people in New Zealand. You just trickle down—and we have been waiting 30 years.They waited 30 years in the UK they waited 30 years in the US and now we are seeing the result: people have had enough. They want Governments and politicians and leaders who are committed to the country they live in and committed to the people who pay their taxes to that Government. They want Governments and leaders who want a decent country with decent jobs and decent incomes.Here is the problem with Mr Seymour's B-grade economics degree: he does not understand productivity. Productivity is not about being cheap; it is about the multiplier value. You see a dollar spent in New Zealand has a multiplier value. In the manufacturing sector the multiplier effect is about five—four and a half to five. If that work on the KiwiRail carriages had been done in New Zealand that money would have been filtered through the community several times over. If you spend it overseas that is it—it is gone and you have got to support the people whose jobs are being lost.Those members on the other side never got that. ACT never got that. David Seymour does not get that. David Bennett does not get that—he does not even care that the Waikato Expressway went overseas to get cheap steel and now the good people of the Waikato are going to be driving on unsafe roads. They are going to be driving on unsafe roads because David Bennett did not have the gumption to say: Look when you are putting in my expressway which is going to get me re-elected can you at least make sure we have good quality New Zealand steel?". New Zealand steel means that you can drive safely and that we will keep jobs here.The truth about the National Party is this: it has become absolutely crystal clear—absolutely crystal clear—that it does not care about New Zealanders being in work. That is why parties like Labour have to come and champion the cause. I am very flattered by the honourable member Clayton Mitchell who laid out all the common ground between Labour and New Zealand First and I look forward to those coalition negotiations because we clearly now have plenty to talk about. The one difference between us of course—there is a difference between us—and the one thing we in Labour absolutely stand for is changing the Government. When New Zealand First comes out and says that that is what it is committed to we will have even more fertile ground for those coalition negotiations.This is a bill that is about New Zealand. It is about supporting New Zealanders and their businesses. It is about supporting the talent the intelligence the smarts and the creativity of high quality highly talented New Zealanders. That is all it is about. It is a chance for a Government that understands what leadership is about in the economic sphere to give Kiwi businesses a chance.We gave the examples here. You look at companies like Fletcher Building. It started off contracting to the Government. It happened to be a Labour Government at the time admittedly because Labour Governments through the history of New Zealand have supported New Zealand businesses creating jobs here in New Zealand. Fletcher Building was one of them and look: it is now an exporter around the world. It is an exemplar—one of the best companies in New Zealand.What about Hills Hats? Oh yes Hills Hats. It made all the army gear they had on their heads and now it exports around the world. You see that is what having the opportunity to contract to the Government and supplying the Government does for a good quality talented New Zealand business and New Zealand business people.That is what this bill is about and I urge those members opposite who now have seen the light who have realised that their trickle-down economics of the 1980s does not work and is a failed experiment—they have the chance in a few seconds to support New Zealand and to support New Zealand businesses by voting in favour of this bill."
