I put that question to the opposite side of the House, despite their guarded support this afternoon, and I ask those members opposite: at what point did they go out to local councils in their nine years that they were last in Government and say "We have an unfettered immigration policy, so you might want to look at investing in infrastructure, roading, schooling, and housing in your communities."? I'll give you the answer: nobody from the National Party ever went to a council anywhere in New Zealand and told them that that's what would happen. How do I know? Because in Tauranga and Rotorua I spoke to the mayors and their councillors—and in Auckland, actually—and was told point blank, "I'll tell you what, Mr Tabuteau, if only National had told us what was coming, we could have planned for it, worked towards it, and maybe, just maybe, we might have been able to get ahead of the curve."
