Yet, in their term of Government, National squandered nearly a decade of opportunity to do something about it, to create a better future. They gave us no reason to hope. They eroded any promise of change. They became a risk to our shared future. That is not just negligent; that is unforgivable. So here, two years into what we will hope will be a very long period of Opposition for them, instead of using that time to think up ideas about how to undo the damage that they did, the only thing that they have managed to prioritise is an ugly politics of fear and misinformation and resentment. As we get closer to the election—we're eight months out, and you've got to remember what you just saw from the Leader of the Opposition; that's going to get worse—the National Party will pit country against town. They will promise simple fixes to complex solutions. In fact, Mr Bridges even said in his speech, "It's simple. Just build more roads."—the answer to every single question, every single challenge. "More roads" is the answer to every question that they have. Worst of all, they deny their responsibility for creating the very problems that they say that they want to solve. We will not adopt those tactics. We will not say just whatever comes into our heads because we think it might work. We will not make up stuff about the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, and we will not exploit people's genuine concerns for political gain.
