Ross Jami-LeeJAMI-LEE ROSS (National—Botany): I feel a little sorry for the Opposition. I have not seen Opposition members this excited since David Cunliffe was delivering his speech on election night when Labour lost the election—the lowest they have been in many many years. The most excited they have been was when they were talking in this House and actually wasting taxpayer money for—how many hours was it? Seventeen or 18 hours? They are proud of wasting taxpayer money but only weeks ago they were hammering backbench MPs in the National Party for putting up members' bills. This side of the House gets excited when we do things like growing the economy. This side of the House gets excited when we do things like lifting real wages. This side of the House gets excited when we deliver more sections for people to build on to deliver more housing for New Zealanders.That is what this bill is about. I have met the developers that this bill specifically works for to ensure that they can continue with the projects that will deliver more housing for Aucklanders. More housing for Aucklanders is what we need; it is not 17 hours of the Labour Party and the Opposition and the Green Party playing games in Parliament. What Aucklanders need is actual houses to be built and that is what this bill is all about.Apparently it is trendy to talk about the Supplementary Order Papers (SOPs) that were put up during the Committee stage—all of the wish-list proposals that they would have liked. I would have liked to see some SOPs that reflected reality such as the fact that house prices doubled when Labour was in office. That is a reality. Those members should have put something like that up in an SOP. I would have liked to see an SOP around the fact that interest rates were up at about 10 or 11 percent when Labour was last in office. Where was the SOP on interest rates and how high they were when Labour was in office? I would have liked to see an SOP about the land strangulation policies that the Labour and Green parties actually supported when they were in office—those policies that led to unaffordable housing through the strangulation of land and ensuring under their watch that supply was not enhanced to enable houses to be built. I would have liked to see an SOP from the Green Party talking about the fact that they want hundreds of thousands of Aucklanders to go bankrupt when they drop house prices by 50 percent. Opposition members go quiet when we talk about that because they know that under the recent marriage between those two parties that is the reality they will be facing.Whatever the question is around housing the answer is delivering more supply and delivering more sections. That is what we are focused on. Build rates are four times faster in Auckland now than what they were when Labour was in office. We are delivering the effective size of Whangarei to Auckland this term and next term the unitary plan that this Government put in place and the process to see it delivered are going to lead to 400000 additional homes being built in Auckland. Aucklanders and New Zealanders need more houses. Aucklanders and New Zealanders do not need the Opposition wasting 18 hours of taxpayers' time in this Parliament. We are delivering solutions; we are not just talking about them. I commend this bill to the House.
