Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE (National): In my previous intervention in this House, I gave the Government a commendation, and in doing so we were reflecting on a process of a very speedy but thorough select committee process for two important pieces of legislation that are now back before this House just on seven days from its first reading and will be passed into law this week. I talked about the World Bank parliamentary forum that I attended, where there was growing concern around the world about what were described as weak democracies—so-called democracies that pushed through State intervention in people's lives without the appropriate scrutiny of Parliament. I find myself in the situation of going, within an hour and a half, from commendation to condemnation for this piece of legislation—both in its process and in its executive overreach. I would go so far as to compare the Prime Minister to Rob Muldoon. She is Rob Muldoon with slogans and kindness. I'm old enough to remember carless days, wage and price freezes, reducing the road speed limit from 100 kilometres to 80 kilometres per hour—
