Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First) : Today in question No. 10 I raised the subject of Wali Allahayi. He came with a false passport in 1999, when I was not a member of Government or a Minister. At the end of question time the Minister tabled a document to do with Hassan Ahmed Shaqlane—a different person—who was convicted of rape and kidnapping in August 2000, after Helen Clark had been appointed Prime Minister. She sought to defuse the situation by tabling the wrong document, but here is the point: back then, spokesperson Ian Smith—we know who he is, do we not—said that deportation was “highly likely”. However, the service had plans to bring the family together, and it has done so since that time, and that is the reason given by the appeal authority for not sending him home—that is, that the family has now been reunited. It stinks to high heaven, and the Prime Minister, in her duplicitous way, sought to come to the House to claim something totally different from the facts.
It is time for the Prime Minister to end the ministerial career of her bungling, illegal immigrant-loving, hand-wringing, ineffectual, incompetent, no-hoper Minister of Immigration. A few days ago we received this open letter from Lianne Dalziel. In it, she tells us why she cannot do a thing about an alleged Muslim terrorist, because the United Nations will not let her. In an urgency debate in July, 20,000 people lose their applications or their rights, but she says she is hamstrung in respect of that alleged terrorist. The letter is full of excuses. We have filed it in the wastepaper basket, alongside the Labour Party’s immigration policy. It reminds me of the prisoner-of-war guard in that television programme Hogan’s Heroes—Sergeant Schultz, whose famous comment was: “I know nothing.” She makes Sergeant Schultz look like an informed intellectual. Every time she is caught, she knows nothing about it and she blames someone else. Her duties are being performed in a way that is an affront to all New Zealand. She has done more to destroy the fabric of our society than any other Minister I have seen in my time in Parliament.
It is an indictment on the Prime Minister that she has let that novice Minister bring in planeloads of Third World ratbags and then claims she cannot deport them. What sort of Prime Minister lets a Minister of Immigration keep a convicted rapist in the country? What sort of Prime Minister lets a Minister of Immigration keep a convicted kidnapper in the country? What sort of Prime Minister keeps a Minister of Immigration who lets an illegal immigrant stay here to shoot a woman in the back while she is hanging out her washing? What sort of Prime Minister lets a Minister keep her job when an illegal African immigrant is raping New Zealand women, infecting them with AIDS, and condemning them to an early death? It is a shame.
This letter from the Minister is two-and-a-half-pages of bleating about why she cannot do her job. It does not explain why we have to keep illegal, HIV-infected immigrants here. It does not explain why North Shore Hospital and Auckland Hospital are bursting their seams with 70 percent of TB cases from the Third World that they have brought here. We are sick and tired of hearing the Prime Minister, when asked in question time whether she has confidence in Lianne Dalziel, saying: “Yes, because she is a hard-working and conscientious Minister.” [Interruption] I know it is market day—I can tell.
I have news for the Prime Minister, her useless Minister of Immigration, and for all the Labour Party Klingons who are polluting this country with the riff-raff of the Third World. It is time to put the health and safety of our people first. We are part of the politically correct drivel about saving the world’s flotsam and jetsam. We do not believe in illegal immigrants, bogus asylum-seekers, or refugees living off the sweat of the New Zealand taxpayer. We will kick that irresponsible party off the Government benches in 2005. We will clean up the system. To use Oliver Cromwell’s famous words: “You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”
