Jackson WillieHon WILLIE JACKSON (Labour): Minister Jones needs to hang his head in shame.Hon Shane Jones: Ha ha!Hon WILLIE JACKSON: He can laugh all he likes—he can laugh all he likes. I thought Dan Bidois was bad and the other Māori but actually the worst one is Minister Jones because he worked with us—he worked with us—at a time when his relations are struggling. They're fighting to live at the moment in the North. It's a kura there it's a kura is it Willow up there in the North—Shane Jones' relations?ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Maureen Pugh): And this is going to circle back to the overseas investment—Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Oh yes Madam Speaker—absolutely. It's all about the Overseas Investment (Build-to-rent and Similar Rental Developments) Amendment Bill which we are supporting because we are a pragmatic party—very pragmatic—although we do have an element of distrust here particularly with Minister Jones involved who would sell off his relations in the North.I'm saying that because what we're seeing here with the Government is that though this is a good idea—and I think Minister Bishop did express some reasonable views in his presentation tonight—what they're giving with one hand they're taking away with the other and that's the problem. And of course we've had a magnificent Minister in Megan Woods who built more houses—more houses—than any other housing Minister in the last 50 years. She's done a fantastic job.Cameron Luxton: Oh she had a hammer did she?Hon WILLIE JACKSON: I'm glad that my ACT colleague over there agrees with me. At least I think he agrees with me! Maybe I'm reading it wrong. We've got a former Minister here who said Yes of course we're interested in this. Of course we're going to be pragmatic." We've got a housing crisis but it's a housing crisis that I'm proud to say we were starting to confront. And actually were we getting on top of it? Well it might have taken us a few more years to break down the waiting list but this is certainly some of the work that our Minister started. But she didn't start it at the expense of Māori housing. She didn't start it at the expense of community housing. And that's the problem we've got here.We've had a recent Budget—$40 million down in terms of the Māori housing area. Our Government had the best "by Māori for Māori" partnerships going in terms of housing in this country. And Minister Jones knows this because some of those relationships are with his relations who have disowned him. They've disowned him because of his tr—well I'd better not say that word or I might get point of ordered. But they've decided—I mean he knows what I'm talking about. We need partnerships with Māori. This type of bill—and I want to say this to my Green friends over there and I know where they're coming from—will help Māori. There is just no doubt about it. I know what the ideal is—and I heard that from the Greens—but the reality is when you have people struggling everywhere we will make an attempt to correct things and this bill does that. It'll give our people an opportunity to get into homes. They are struggling at the moment. We're seeing it on television—well all the time—but I just can't help thinking how much progress we made particularly in the community housing area particularly in the Māori housing area particularly in the Kāinga Ora area which is continually being run down.The Government will need to clarify though what an expansion beyond the build-to-rent to include what the explanatory memorandum called "similar rental development" is. I think Megan Woods talked about that. We just need some clarity around some of the intricacies within this bill because whilst we support the intent we support the principle only a fool would not support an opportunity to give New Zealanders—not just Māori but Kiwis—an opportunity to get in homes. We have to be careful about this because there is obviously a sensitivity in terms of overseas investors coming in. But I just want to say that this is something we'll support and commend the bill to the House. Kia ora Madam Speaker."
