SpeechDr EMILY HENDERSON (Labour—Whangārei): Kia ora te Māngai o te Whare. Labour people often quote Norm Kirk's famous words: Kiwis don't ask for much" he said. "Somewhere to live somewhere to work something to hope for." But it's the less famous words he said after on his election night that echo for me: "And now comes the job of making dreams come true."The job of a Government is to create the conditions where people can build a secure future where they can build their dreams. There's no doubt when you look around the world at the global situation this is a challenging time to build dreams.I come from a place where for a lot of people it's been tough to think about dreams; it's been tough to even think about building that future for a long long time. Whangārei has been coming first at the wrong end of statistics for decades. And yet as I look around Whangārei even now everywhere I see the foundations for dreams being built. There's a secure future unfolding. There is ngākau rorotu.Many years ago I attended Tikipunga High School which then—and now to use the old numbers—would be called a decile 2. It's a place that's been stigmatised for a long time in my community. It's a place people associate with all the tough things in society. The truth is it is harder to do better when you don't have much to begin with. Even dreaming of better is a luxury people in survival mode can rarely afford and that has been true of a lot of my community.But when I visit Tiki High these days I see a shift. I meet kids who now thanks to this Government eat a solid nutritious and delicious lunch every day. I talk to parents who tell me what a difference that makes to their weekly budgets. I talk to teachers who tell me how that food means those kids can now concentrate and focus like they never have before.These are kids who now look you in the eye with confidence. They talk about the multitude of positive futures they are dreaming into existence—kids who are planning on nursing and know exactly what courses and what grades they need to get them there and young men and young women talking knowledgeably and enthusiastically about the trades training they're going to enter or in many cases are already in. I meet kids all over my town who are part of the 50000 Kiwi apprentices and 200000 in trades training thanks to the Government support we're giving. We have their backs. We're creating the conditions in which they can build a future and they are.Thanks to this Government I know that when these kids come out of their training those same young apprentice builders and electricians and plumbers will have a steady stream of work because this Government has chosen to meet the challenges of tough times not with the retrenchment we saw in the global financial crisis but by action to reboot growth.In the last two years this Government has made the biggest investments in Whangārei infrastructure in my lifetime. My hospital—the oldest most rundown in the country—has seen the building of much-needed facilities for maternity and paediatric health cardiac and oncology services and best of all we've committed to fully funding the first and biggest stage of our main hospital rebuild.We're also—and this is worth a speech in itself—building 166 new State houses with 500 more in the pipeline. There's nothing quite as wonderful as going along to something like Puriri Park where we are building 38 new homes and meeting the first residents and seeing a little pair of two-year-old twins in their matching Ray-Bans heading into their very first house.My young Tikipunga High School apprentices will have work to build that hospital to build those houses and in due course my young Tiki nurses will have a hospital fit for them and fit for the future.It's been a long cold lonely winter for Whangārei but here comes the sun. Ka rawe ka rawe. And it is wonderful to be standing here on this day celebrating suffrage celebrating the spring and celebrating good things for Whangārei."
