the translation so I
can assure members everything was in order in terms of
what the member
everything was in order in terms of
said. I call the Hon David Bennett. Thank you
Thank you and congratulations on your new role in this House. We
trust you implicitly and thank you
for your gesture of letting us
know what was said in the last speech.
Thank
what was said in the last speech.
This country is on a socialist
experiment in the last few weeks. It is an experiment that is due to
failure and it is an experiment that
is socialism at its worst and
it is in this country for the
first time. It is time for the people to stop
this socialist experiment. The
other side of this House will have an
agenda over the next
three years where they will want to keep the
poor people poor. They do not want
to get anybody to get an
education so they can lift them out of the
trap of poverty. That is why
the Opposition has taken away national
standards, NCA and keeping people in
poverty and that is what socialists
always want because
socialists want to be in control and they don't
want to give anybody any chance to
get the best out of their life. That is
a socialist agenda that will not
succeed. The other thing socialists
succeed. The other thing socialists
always want to do is
make people dependent on the state. They want to
make people dependent on
the state for their housing. They want to make
people dependent on
the State for their jobs and that is
what those socialists are doing at this moment.
They are creating an attitude and a
sense of dependency in this country
that will not set New Zealanders
free and will not enable
them to succeed. The other
thing that socialists want to do is
to create barriers around our borders. Sorry
for interrupting the member. Can I
ask members to my right, please do
not bring the Speaker into this
in your interjections and too much of a
barrage of interjections
are coming across the House. So
please be mindful of that. The
other thing socialists do is
they put up barriers. The socialists
over there are going to stop immigration
into this country. They are going to
stop people coming in that have got
aspiration and want to work hard to
make this country great. You can
see the New
the New Zealand First party laughing. All those Labour
members that turn up to all the
ethnic events, beware because
the people there know that your
agenda is to stop people coming into this country
and that's what all socialists have
ever done and that is
what you are going to see out of that side of
the House. The other
thing socialists do is they love big spending. They
love to promise and spend
and spend and they have to pay
for that spending. That is going to come in increased
taxes on New Zealanders. That
is what these socialists
are going to do in the next three years as they
are going to increase spending of
Government.
are going to increase spending of Government. 51 promises yesterday,
Mr McAnulty. Watch your
Government. 51 promises yesterday, look at that and think,
Government. 51 promises yesterday,
on that side of the House always think they are right. They
become privileged elite. They know better
than the 4.5
million people that are out there. That is what those
socialists will turn into
in the next three years,
the privileged elite that know better than
the 4.5 million. That is the reality of what
we have entered into
in New Zealand. It is an experiment based on a
group of people that never got
over 1984 and never got over the
of people that never got over 1984 Government that brought in
reforms to this country. They
want to go back to a utopia that never
existed and never can and
never will succeed. Mark my words, the end of
socialism will come when you see
higher interest rates, lower growth,
lower
higher interest rates, lower growth,
unemployment and you will see a max exodus of New Zealanders
coming out of this country and there will be a
housing crisis in this country
that will be created by
that socialist will be created by that socialist
agenda and those 60 socialists over
there. Now we have heard of all
their good intentions,
how they mean to do well and how they love to
see this country prosper,
but they don't mean that at all, Mr Speaker.
The world has learnt the lesson
of how socialism fails in every
experiment that has been tried in this area
has failed and we will be the only
country, apart from North Korea, in
this region that will actually be
this region that will actually be
taking on a socialist agenda. That
will put New Zealand back
generations and it's all on those
60 people over there. It is
not actually all on those
60 people over there, because 50 of
them never actually
actually got voted into Government. Only one man let them become
Government and that
is a bitter and twisted individual that wanted to
twisted individual that wanted to
show that he was bigger than
the system in his last term in
this Government. So that is
the true nature of what we will see
from that party
nature of what we will see from that
Speaker, today we saw that we cannot trust a single one of that
side. There is no trust over there because
they have reneged on all the things
that they promised during
the election campaign. There was
going to be a fiscal plan that could
be relied on by New Zealanders. That
has gone out the window today. We
cannot rely on the economic plan
that the Labour Party
was so stringent about during
the election, because the budget is still to
be prepared. We can't rely on any
of those figures. We also can't trust
them on housing. When they
were asked definitely today would there
be 100,000 houses built, they
could not commit to that. In fact,
the acting PM today would not commit
to building those
building those 100,000 houses that every candidate out there in the
Labour Party went
around spouting they would build. There is no
commitment from the Labour Party to
do it and they are reneging on
that promise. There is also
do it and they are reneging on that
billion of funding that the New Zealand First was prommiting during
the elect
Zealand First was prommiting during
election. They are reneging on that now and saying some will be
existing promises and have already
been funded. There is
no commitment there for a fund for the provinces. We see
today that Wellington is getting
into
today that Wellington is getting
to be for the promises that the New Zealand First party did. Then there
was education today. There was
a renege on education. The promise of
students can now come over here and get their first
year of education free. That is what it means under
their plan. So there's going to be
New Zealand teenagers
that are working on the farms, they
are working in the orchards
and working many the factories and doing all
those hard jobs in the New
Zealand economy, paying taxes
for Aussie students to come over here and get
their first year of education
free. That is what the Labour Party has
promised and that is what the
Labour Party is delivering. Go out
to those young men and women that want to
make the most of their life
and may not want to do it through a
tertiary education, and tell them that they
are going to have to pay for some
foreigners to come over here and
enjoy our education system, because
that's what you've agreed to.
That is the plan the Labour Party
has agreed to, because we heard how
strong they were going to be in
dealing with international
dealing with international
relations. How the Labour Party
was going to go over there and tell the
Australians what they think. They
came back offering
free education for the first
year of every Australian student that can come
to this country and
hardworking Kiwi kids will pay for it. Andrew Little
kids will pay for it. Andrew Little
shakes his head. Andrew
Little, you shakes his head. Andrew Little, you
know it is true. You know
it is going
know it is true. You know it is kids
know it is true. You know it is going to happen. Today we
heard in question time the answers were,
be developed. We are going to do a budget
be developed. We are going to do a
response you expect from a new Government that has had 9 years
work out things.
That is not the response from one That
That is not the response from one who knows what they want to do.
That is the response from people that are
running and hiding. That is
what these socialists are doing. They are
these socialists are doing. They are
running and hiding because they know
they don't actually
know what they are going to do. If you look
at socialism, look in
the Waikato for no better example of how is it
going to fail in.
The Waikato there were two things that were promised during
this election for the gain of the
Waikato region. The first was
the continuous expressway to Tauranga,
that is now gone. These
socialists will spend this money on trams
in Auckland. Going from Auckland
Airport to downtown Auckland so
the privileged elite of
the socialist class can go on
their flights overseas and the good people
of the Waikato will miss out on the
economic growth. The other
thing that was up for grabs in the
Waikato in this election was
the Waikato medical school. That is not going
to happen under these socialists either
because the Minister of Health is
because the Minister of Health is
from Dunedin and
the Dunedin university is the one biggest
impediment to that
med school impediment to that med
school happening and they will definitely
not let this happen. The
Waikato has lost the most out of this socialist
agenda. Our farmers are going to
get attacked. We have lost out
in the infrastructure that would have grown
our strong economy. I am dismayed
that this country has to endure an
experiment that is put onto it by
one man's false fallacies and
this country will have to pay for a
decade to turnaground that
socialist
experiment. It cannot work. It has experiment. It cannot work. It has
been proven time and time
again in the history of the world to never
work and the Green Party can
hang their heads in array but when you
look at the question time and the
agenda you party wants to do, we
know socialism is alive and
it will be dead at the next election and
all of you with it.
be dead at the next election and all of you with it. Dr
Shane Reti.
I would like to start by thanking the people of Whangarei for asking
me to be their voice
in Wellington and I commit to working hard
for them and for the
people of New Zealand. I also want to
acknowledge my
