If the parliamentary Opposition want to create memes of me in an awesome 1970s shirt and bloviate about Soviet Russia, then so be it, but I think that New Zealanders deserve and expect better, given the issues at hand. I say further to members opposite that there is an honourable, conservative tradition in this country of supporting security and stability for people and communities. Much of that was ripped away by the tidal wave of reform 30 or 40 years ago. Both this Government and the previous one have had to try and deal with some of the social damage that resulted. FPAs, at their core, are about rebuilding the social contract, valuing work, and creating the stability and security that allows our communities to thrive.
