JONATHAN YOUNG (National—New Plymouth): Thank you, Madam Speaker, for the opportunity to speak in reply to the Prime Minister's statement in February. The Prime Minister has taken great pride in signalling to the world that New Zealand is leading the world in closing down oil and gas exploration. In fact, she devoted four full seconds in her 20-minute speech to say, "[The Government has] ended [new] offshore oil and gas exploration". Four full seconds—quite a momentous sentence in relation to her "nuclear-free moment" policy regarding banning permits for oil and gas exploration. So why four full seconds? Why only that? Well, simply put, like many of her policies, such as KiwiBuild and child poverty reduction, it's backfiring. It's not producing what she promised. It's not even improving outcomes. In fact, it's doing the opposite: it is making matters worse.
