Warren-Clark AngieANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker. I'm delighted to take a call tonight—my first of the year. I extend my kind solicitations to everyone in this House and I wish and hope that we will all be speaking with kindness and compassion throughout the year. I look forward to that.So today I would like to have a simple chat with you all about leadership—leadership in this country. Now I have a quote here which I really like and I think this is the kind of Government that our country deserves and the kind of Government that I think we have with our coalition Government: True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up." Let me say if ever there was a truer word spoken it is that. We are designing a well-being Budget that is all about lifting everyone up. We're inclusive and we are trying our very best to do the right thing for this country. We know the problems and we've worked—as my colleague Dr Deb Russell has said—very hard delivering for the last 18 months and we will continue to do so. We have and are very lucky to have an amazing leader in our Prime Minister the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern who leads with compassion who leads with an entirely clear vision for us as a Government and who at all times remembers who she serves and who the people are that we need to support—that is all citizens of this country; all citizens. Leadership is one of those things that is often lonely and in fact as a Government we know that we have a lot of things to do and some of those things will take courage. Some of those things will take real leadership—for example climate change. We must and we shall be a world leader ensuring that our country and our commitment to global warming and change is not going to be as a fast follower. Oh no we actually have to spend time and energy committing and this coalition Government is doing so.I'd also like to talk very briefly about one particular part of our well-being Budget that for me is a personal driver of being here in Parliament—that is the work that we are doing in the family and sexual violence space. It is as we all know a huge issue in this country. I am absolutely delighted that our Minister for Social Development the Hon Carmel Sepuloni has increased last year 30 percent of funding to our front-line services—delivering. Now having worked in the front line I know that we may have had all sorts of things happening in that space but the front line didn't get a cent for 10 years. That in fact says—when we look at all of the systems in place and everything that would support that—the Opposition members over there were more about thinktanks themselves than they were about actual delivery on the ground. So I'm absolutely delighted that we are working towards making a change in that space.I would also in my final statement like to talk about the work that we will be doing in this space over the next year and the working group—as you may call it but we call it an actual organisation—that will work across Government departments to bring into this century the conversations that need to be had and to happen. Leadership will be hard in this space. One in four women are affected by violence in their lifetime and one in seven men. We need to do better. It will be hard. We need to talk we need to work together and in fact I am so very very proud of this coalition Government for putting family violence and sexual violence at the core of our well-being Budget. We will deliver."
