The campaign reaches its conclusion in Manukau where BestInBounds is holding one last rally - his supporters are out in full force today as he steps forward for one final address.
"It's time to conclude my campaign Ladies and Gentlemen and I'd like to start with a tone of gratitude. I'd like to thank you all for putting your faith in me and supporting me in such large numbers, I'm a political unknown - I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but with your support, I'll walk into it with optimism and pride. I battled hard every step of the way to fight for policies and a platform I know will make New Zealand a better place.
I want to smash the poverty cycle - support equality of opportunity for Maori and support Maori entrepreneurs at the grass roots so we can promote the development of Maori business. We want more Maori voices, this is how we can achieve just that - by supporting our talented young tamariki to be creative, to be entrepreneurs, to think outside of the box and be the industry leaders of the future.
I want our tamariki - regardless of ethnicity - to learn about our past, both the failures and the successes, and from there glean lessons we can all use moving forward. What better way to do this then restore historic land wars pa in the 'naki? As the party of health, we'll make looking after Maori a priority again - reinstating annual reporting requirements against a specialist Maori health strategy which will ensure Maori receive the highest quality tailored healthcare well suited to their needs, and equitable access to uric acid lowering medication to fight gout - a disease Pasifika and Maori are genetically predisposed to.
This Green government has let you all down. The minister for Maori affairs has one of the worst qt record's this term, he has offered no substantial action for Maori and neither has the Green party the last 3 terms. This indicates where the Greens priorities lie - and they aren't with you. I urge you to take a chance on National - unlike the Greens we haven't forgotten who our constituents are, we won't punish kiwis for working hard and we certainly won't just disappear at QT when we are accountable to the entire nation.
Because unlike the Greens we pride ourselves on accountability and transparency, our economic reforms should be testament to that - we want to amend the public finance act so that the public has a better idea of all government spending in annual promises. We're promoting the simplification of unnecessary bureaucracy with the abolition of local government. In addition to this - we'll make it mandatory for government agencies to undertake at least one regulatory simplification process, with a view to reducing the complexity and number of regulations -Â regulations in their nature should be simple and straight-forward instead of tangled in an unnecessary web of govt ordained bureaucratic nonsense crafted by desk jockeys with no understanding of how the world works.Â
The left makes us out to be the party of the elite - but that couldn't be further from the case. We want more money in the pockets of every day kiwis - we won't introduce any new taxes or tax increases and we'll ensure that the tax thresholds in place are indexed to the cost of living. The establishment of the small business payments guarantee will ensure small businesses are safer with more liquidity than ever before - and can look to the future with certainty rather than behind their back with unease. This war on business the Government insists on perpetuating will finally come to the end if you vote us in - we will raise the corporate income tax back down to a reasonable level so that we encourage, not discourage commerce within New Zealand. We'll ensure that Kiwi businesses have access to the factors of production that should be expected in a modern economy - world class infrastructure, a skilled workforce, access to global markets as well as capital and an innovative and strong creative sector and the access to natural resources required. We want to encourage more investment into New Zealand - we'll amend the overseas amendment act to ensure this is achieved and we have a free flow of capital into New Zealand.
Unlike the Greens we have a plan for rural communities. We want to support tourism in the regions - the redevelopment of Pa is part of this plan - seek an ambitious trade agenda that will find us new export markets four our regions to explore. Champion health in the rural sector as well - piloting a mobile health clinic to service isolated communities whilst also building a specialist school dedicated to looking after rural communities in conjecture with expanding technologies which enable isolated communities to better access specialist health services. The new water infrastructure fund and the reinstatement of the regional investment fund are indicative of our proactive plans to aid and look after our rural communities concerning water quality for the former and economic development for the latter.
To conclude, I encourage you to all get out there and vote. Vote for the New Zealand you want to see and the changes you want enabled. The National party offers an accountable, responsible alternative to the shambolic alliance of arrogance that is the coalition government. Shirking the duties fundamental to our democracy and neglecting the people that got them to where they are. But we haven't. The National party has not, and never will shirk its duties to you all.Â
The Government has forgotten you - but we have not. I have not. And if I can promise you all one thing - regardless of the election result I will fight for you day in, day out in the trenches. Because that is my duty to you all. Fighting the good fight every day for the people of New Zealanders. Because you deserve nothing less than that.
Lets get it right.
Thank you so much Aotearoa Kia Mihi Fa'afetai Lava."
