Volume:709;Page:7509. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]9.ANDREW BAYLY (National—Hunua) to the Minister for ACC: What recent announcements have been made to help reduce New Zealand’s high rate of children’s driveway deaths and injuries?Hon NIKKI KAYE (Minister for ACC): Yesterday I launched a campaign with Safekids Aotearoa and ACC to reduce injuries to children caused in driveways. I am really pleased that ACC will invest $300000 in the Safekids driveway safety campaign. Most driveway incidents involve children under the age of 3. This campaign is about making sure people know where their little ones are before they drive in or drive out of a driveway. This partnership between ACC and Safekids is an important step towards turning round the unacceptable rate of child driveway deaths and injuries in our country. I want to acknowledge the mums whose children have died due to driveway injuries and who have had the courage to be part of the new campaign called Check For Me Before You Turn the Key.Andrew Bayly: What else is ACC doing to work with other agencies to reduce deaths and injuries in New Zealand?Hon NIKKI KAYE: The driveway safety campaign is a good example of ACC partnering with other agencies and organisations. It is my expectation that ACC will be forming more partnerships with a range of organisations and agencies as it ramps up its injury prevention work. Now that this National Government has ensured that the ACC scheme is fully funded and is on a secure financial footing it is my expectation that ACC will give even more focus to injury prevention. I am pleased to tell the House that the ACC board has confirmed an increase in its injury prevention budget from $30 million to $50 million this year.Sue Moroney: What research or evidence does the Minister have that spending $300000 on giving a key ring to parents so that they can put their child’s photo in it will stop any child from being run over on a driveway?Hon NIKKI KAYE: Firstly she got her numbers wrong. Although ACC is spending $300000 the total campaign is a million dollars. The campaign is broader than key rings. It is actually about public meetings. It is about television advertising. In terms of research what she can note is there is quite a lot of research around the ability to affect behaviour by using a variety of multimedia channels and things like public meetings to get into the community.Sue Moroney: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. The question was very direct—Mr SPEAKER: Order! [Interruption] Order! The question has been addressed. Supplementary question—[Interruption] Order! If the member wants to stay for the balance of the day I suggest that she accepts that ruling.Andrew Bayly: What are ACC’s priority areas for reducing deaths and injuries?Mr SPEAKER: The Hon Nikki Kaye—[Interruption] Order! Unless I get some more cooperation from three or four people to my immediate left I will be asking them to leave the Chamber.Hon NIKKI KAYE: I am very pleased that the ACC board has put in place a new approach for injury prevention. It has now increased investment and a strategy that has clear priorities to drive reductions in the incidence and severity of injuries in the areas of violence sport community falls road treatment injury and workplace. In terms of the driveway safety campaign can I also acknowledge that this is a partnership between Starship—Plunket has been very supportive—and ACC and I am very surprised that the Opposition is criticising an organisation like Safekids Aotearoa and organisations like Starship.Sue Moroney: I seek leave to table a document dated March 2014 showing the effectiveness of rear-view cameras in preventing driveway deaths.Mr SPEAKER: Leave is sought to table that particular report. Is there any objection? There is none; it can be tabled.Document by leave laid on the Table of the House.
