Question Time 13.12.2023

Sat facing the Government.

1. Davidson to Luxon

'The Government is going to meet its obligations for climate change' - Luxon


'We're going to electrify New Zealand.' - Luxon


Chlöe called Luxon a liar during an interjection, and refused to withdraw and apologise, saying that she said 'the content of those policies are a lie'


MD 9/10, CL 6/10


2. Hipkins to Luxon


'We will be a Government that gets things done' - Luxon


CH 7/10, CL 7/10


3. Wedd to Willis


'Inflation remains very high at home at 5.6%' - Willis


CW 7/10, NW 5/10


4. Waititi to Chour.


Interesting question. Good flow.


RW 7/10, KC 7/10.


5. Marcroft to Jones


'Seabed mining has a legitimate place in New zealand's rural economy' - Shane Jones.


Contradiction: NZ First also said that they intend for 100% renewables by 2030.


JM 5/10, SJ 6/10.


6. Robertson to Willis


'I am not responsible for policies in party manifestos' - Willis


GR 6/10, NW 5/10.


7. Hamilton to Brown


Removing clean car discount by December 31, 2023.


Damn is this Government white! I counted 19 women: that's less than one-third of the coalition.


RH 4/10, SB 4/10.


8. Prime to Chour


'The intent behind honouring what the Treaty means is unclear' - Chour


Chour seemed quite nervous. It's a big portfolio for a backbench MP.


WJP 6/10, KC 5/10.


9. Bates to Stanford


CB 6/10, ES 6/10.


10. Genter to Brown


'Transport will have little or no contribution to emissions reduction this term' - Genter.


'We will invest into supercharging the EV power network' - Brown.


JAG 6/10, SB 6/10.


11. Andersen to Mitchell


'Does the government have a policy on the police-to-public ratio?' - Andersen, who was wearing a very stylish white pantsuit.


GA 6/10, MM 5/10.


12. Mooney to Upston


11,000 more people on Jobseeker in 2023. Upston handled the heckles from the opposition very well.


JMoon 6/10, LU 7/10.
