It's baffling that the Government supports this legislation, and it's baffling because it's only on the statute book because of a mistake. It's basically an accident that we have it. Winston Peters, as part of his price to put this Government into office after the 2017 election, said to Jacinda Ardern, "Well, I want the old waka-jumping law back." We know why he wanted it back: because he was concerned about his crop of new MPs: Darroch Ball—well, actually, Darroch had been there before. Mark Patterson, a former National Party member—in fact, I think an electorate chair—who got elected for New Zealand First. He looked at Mark Patterson, sitting there on the backbench of this new Government led by Labour with the Greens, and went, "Hmmm, I don't think old Mark Patterson's going to be too keen on this Government, having just been a member of the National Party. I know!, One way around making sure he can't leave—or, if he does leave, I can boot him from Parliament—is I'll make it part of the coalition negotiation." Of course, because Winston Peters had all the power and it was costless for the Prime Minister to agree, we have it.
