Leary IngridINGRID LEARY (Labour—Taieri): To Martin Phillipps:I know deep down hidden in you submarine bells chimeGolden groaning sunlit toning submerged sound sublimeDeep and dark my submarine bells groan in greens and greyMine would chime a thousand times to make you feel OKIt is OK for you now Martin Phillipps. I note the committal on the Order Paper that refers to his passing on 28 July at 61 years of age. Martin Phillips was an iconic New Zealand musician who does deserve recognition in this House and I would like to pay tribute to him. On Friday in Dunedin maybe it will rain maybe there'll be rain on the window pane of the Glenroy Auditorium as New Zealand musicians from all over the country come down to celebrate the life of this wonderful singer-songwriter who really helped develop the iconic Dunedin sound. He wrote songs that were of place land sea and people with a deep sense of melancholy and he became infused into the Dunedin cultural fabric. His collection was immortalised in the Otago Museum and also through the incredible documentary by Julia Parnell who I had the privilege of working with.He was brilliant. I think he was a brilliant enigma actually. As Neil Finn said he was one of New Zealand's greatest songwriters. He was name checked by Iggy Pop and R.E.M. He was an enigma because he was humble and intelligent and one of the most unlikely rock stars you could meet. I had the privilege of watching him play when I went to Otago University. I interviewed him as a journalist when he came back from a fairly failed tour of the US and had the kindness and generosity to let me interview him about that particular chapter of his life.I also worked with him in Glasgow at the Celtic Connections where he wowed the Scottish audience there and I could really see how he had earned such incredible international acclaim. And I finally got to meet him many times on street corners when the Labour Party would go out and campaign and Marty would always come out—on reflection I think to honour the loyalty that I had given to him. So I'm really looking forward to his send off on Friday with his family; his father Donald; his sisters Sara and Rachel; and of course hosted by his biggest fan and friend—possibly—my former colleague Grant Robertson.Now Marty did have mental health journeys and it is no secret that he suffered addiction which is probably partly responsible for his early departure. So it's appropriate that I do speak to my mental health shadow portfolio today and draw attention to something that I think Marty would want attention drawn to which is the misnomer that this Government is not cutting services to the front line of mental health. We have seen that in Southland no less—the area where both Marty and I were very approximate to—where staff had sent emails showing that vacancies for mental health nurses despite the fact that those roles are desperately needed that ads have been pulled down from Health New Zealand's website. We've seen broken promises with the number of psychiatrists promised by this National-led Government before the election—14; we have not seen any movement of that. They've promised 500 new mental health staff and yet they haven't even been able to get the 50 extra doctors placed that they had promised prior to the election.What really concerns me this week is the health innovation funding because $24 million was earmarked for Gumboot Friday through a procurement that was in my view half baked. Now we see the remaining $10 million—that's over two years; that was announced in this Budget where NGO's and community groups thought they had a real shot at maybe getting some funding. Well guess what? To get that funding the organisations have to have a minimum of 80 full-time employees and $250000 in matching funding. I would challenge any member of this House to tell me which community mental health group has a spare $250000 kicking around in their bank account or if they did that it would not be taken back by this Government as we heard in question time today.So I leave those thoughts as I remember my friend—somebody who I really looked up to and I know the whole of Dunedin did—Martin Phillipps. We will salute you on Friday we will continue to carry your mental health message and we will continue always to listen to your music.
