In terms of housing, the Government is itself planning to build more than 2000 houses over the next two financial years but, more importantly, wants to work with local councils on the underlying problems of land supply, building and resource consents and provision of infrastructure.

even though four of my ministers knew all about it, I didn’t have a clue that brand new BMWs were being bought.
even though my Chief of Staff met with officials to discuss purchase of the the brand new BMWs, I didn’t have a clue
even though I personally signed papers discussing the matter, I still didn’t have a clue

I told Cabinet that I knew Ian Fletcher
I forgot that after I scrapped the shortlist for GCSB job I phoned a life-long friend to tell him to apply for the position
I told Iain Rennie I would contact Fletcher
I haven’t seen Ian Fletcher in a long time.
I did not mislead the House (13)
I have no reason to doubt at this stage that Peter Dunne did not leak the GCSB report
I called directory service to get Ian Fletcher’s number
the new legislation narrows the scope of the GCSB
the GCSB has been prevented from carrying out its functions because of the law governing its functions
because the opposition is opposed the GCSB law amendments, parliamentary urgency is required
the increasing number of cyber intrusions which I can’t detail or discuss prove that the GCSB laws need to be extended to protect private enterprise
it was always the intent of the GCSB Act to be able to spy on New Zealanders on behalf of the SIS and police
National Ltd™ is not explanding the activities of the GCSB with this new law
cyber terrorists have attempted to gain access to information about weapons of mass destruction held on New Zealand computers
the law which says the GCSB cannot spy on New Zealanders is not clear
it totally incorrect that the Government effectively through GCSB will be able to wholesale spy on New Zealanders
we self identified that there was a problem with the GCSB spying on Kim Dotcom
the illegal spying on Kim Dotcom was an isolated incident
The advice I have had in 4 years as a Minister is that in no way ever has there been an indication of unlawful spying
the Ministerial Warrant signed by Bill English did not cover anything up
I wasn’t briefed about the raid on Kim Dotcom’s home.
first I heard I heard about Kim Dotcom was on 19 January 2012
first I heard about the illegal spying on Kim Dotcom was in 17 September 2012
I did not mislead the House (14)
I won’t be discussing Kim Dotcom during my Hollywood visit.
The Human Rights Commission couldn’t get its submission on the GCSB legislation in on time.
it would cost too much to for the police and SIS to carry out the spying on New Zealanders that this new legislation will permit

the Henry Inquiry had permission to view Ministers’ emails
no, I did not mislead the House (??)
we do not spy on journalists
the passing of phone records to the Henry Inquiry was an error on the part of a contractor
I wasn’t aware that my own Chief of Staff was instructing Parliamentary Services to hand over information concerning journalist Andrea Vance
National Ltd™ has never tried to impinge on the role of the media
I had nothing to do with information on a journalist being handed over to the inquiry into the leaking of the GCSB report
the terms of the inquiry made it clear to everyone that it was only the phone records of parliamentary staff and ministers that were to be provided
I have the utmost respect for the media and the role it plays in New Zealand’s democracy

the Henry Inquiry did not ask for phone and email records
no, I did not mislead the House (17)
the Greens are opposed to the GCSB and the SIS even existing

the GCSB needs to spy on New Zealanders because of the terrorist threat, even though official reports released over my signature say there is no risk and the SIS has the matter in hand
the GCSB Bill does not give the GCSB the power to look at the content of communications as part of its cyber-security functions
no, I did not mislead the House (18)
Edward Snowden hacked into the NSA data base to obtain the documents which show details of the GCSB setting up a mass surveillance system
I will release documents which show that an operation to provide mass surveillance data only ever made it to the business plan stage.
Ummm . . . now that people are paying attention, the programme got underway but I stopped in in March 2013 or, askshully, it might have been September 2013.
Kim Dotcom is paying Glenn Greenwald to come to New Zealand
There’s no ambiguity. No middle ground. I’m right and Glenn Greenwald is wrong,
I’ll resign if the GCSB conducts mass surveillance
there never has been any mass surveillance and New Zealand has not gathered mass information and provided it to international agencies.
The GCSB does not have the physical capability to carry out mass surveillance
New Zealand has not gathered mass information and provided it to international agencies.”

The Cabinet Office had cleared Judith Collins of a conflict of interest
The golf tournament in which I played the chairman of Oravida was for charity.
The Cabinet Office has cleared Collins of a conflict of interest after it translated comments on Oravida’s website which stated that she had praised its products
My Justice Minister, Judith Collins, didn’t lie to Parliament, she just didn’t understand the question.
The [MFAT] paperwork shows right through this that not only did the Minister have a very busy programme, all on judicial and justice issues, but, secondly, all the way through it talks about a private dinner.

The OIA request to the SIS about Phil Goff’s briefing on the Isreali spies had nothing to do with my office.
National Ltd™ talks to the blogs exactly the same way we talk to the MSM
The allegations in Nicky Hager’s book are all wrong.
Nicky Hager has got nothing to prove any of the allegations.
All this stuff in “Dirty Politics” is coming from the left.
National Ltd™ is not using blogs as attack sites any more than anyone would do
The release of “Dirty Politics” is part of a coordinated attack from the left because it is unable to win the discussion on the issues that matter.
Very little of the book “Diry Politics” is about me.
Most of the assumptions and allegations made by Nicky Hager in “Dirty Politics” are dissolving before his eyes.
All of Nicky Hager’s allegations are unravelling.
Nicky Hager didn’t check the facts before publishing “Dirty Politics

My meeting with Donghua Liu was not a Cabinet Club meeting, oh, hang on, yes it was, oh, maybe it wasn’t
Labour did not seek a Parliamentary vote when sending SAS troops into Afghanistan on a combat mission and didn’t even tell New Zealand they were going
When I said “the price of The Club” I meant “The Club” was all the 62 nations in the US-led coalition of troops to fight in Iraq
New Zealanders gave National Ltd™ a two year mandate to send troops into Iraq as part of the US-led coalition
News about repairing bridges in Northland is just the standard release of policy

I promise that “metadata” will be defined in legislation
You are allowed to use the resources of the officials during an election in terms of what would be Government policy
No, I did not mislead the House (??)
As long as Simon Bridges didn’t get any policy advice from his officials about developing the “10 bridges for your vote!” bribe, then there’s no possible problem under the Cabinet Manual.
Labour did the same thing as Bridges when it used “officials actually in my opinion actually” to get policy advice as they did in the 2008 campaign with deposit guarantees, but they actually maybe they shouldn’t have done it”
I assumed that all ten bridges up for double-laning in Northland were justified on a cost benefit analysis
Claims the GCSB was planning to hack into a data link run by the Chinese embassy are unproven.
When it comes to the GCSB you’ve got a bunch of people who’ve been out there propagating information that’s actually been proven to be incorrect.

The problem which led up to the Saudi sheep farm deal was caused by Labour.
The Saudi sheep farm deal was never about compensation even though I said earlier it was because Labour left the government liable for a claim for compensation
Labour misled the Saudi investors about the live sheep trade
No, I did not mislead the House. (??)
There was no suggestion made to a Saudi businessman that he could sue the New Zealand Government
