This austerity nonsense scare tactics from the finance Minister is just that: it's nonsense. We understand the importance of health, of education, of police. I'm delighted to be finance spokesperson for Christopher Luxon's refreshed New Zealand National Party. I know the value of health and education. I said in my maiden speech they are the meal tickets. They were the meal tickets for me; I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have had an education if it wasn't for the public system in this country. I want to acknowledge what an amazing job Starship Hospital has done for my son Harry in the last week or so.
