Tinetti JanJAN TINETTI (Labour): Tēnā koe Mr Speaker. It's not often that in a general debate you get to stand up and talk after one of my own colleagues and it's somewhat a wee bit limiting because I have to say I absolutely totally tautoko and agree with what my colleague has said. So it's hard to get anything out of what the other side have said at that time. [Interruption] I know Mr McAnulty. I though would like to go back to what some of the Opposition have said about confidence being low. Well that's certainly not what I see when I've been out working and talking to businesses. And having been a small business owner myself that's not what I hear when I'm around the traps.In fact talking with people last week on the journeys that I was doing and the discussions that I was having during our time back in our communities one particular discussion that I want to talk about was a hapū of Ngati Porou actually on the Coromandel. They talked about the conditions being right now for them to advance their rangatahi their young people in their hapū. They talked about initiatives. They talked about the confidence that they have with the climate that's around them at the moment and the climate of this Government wanting to move conditions forward the economy to go forward—that their young people can survive and not just survive but thrive. And that's what it's about and that's what this Government's about. It's about giving opportunities. It's about moving our economy and moving our country forward.At the beginning of this week in a year of delivery we had a day of delivery: 1 April was a fantastic day for us here when so many initiatives that had been announced came to light and came to fruition. It was wonderful to see the realisation of us wanting to see businesses innovate and grow and seeing our workers get a fair pay for a fair day's work. And actually I have to agree with my colleague Mark Patterson over here that some of the speeches have been quite mean about that and even more mean when I hear that the Leader of the Opposition the Hon Simon Bridges has refused to rule out the lowering of the minimum wage. I think that's a really mean aspect to that.Hon Peeni Henare: And it would call it a hypocrite.JAN TINETTI: I couldn't possibly say that word Mr Henare but yes. With the rising of the minimum wage to $17.70—like my colleague here Priyanca Radhakrishnan I too have known people who have worked long term in businesses and are still remaining on that minimum wage. The businesses have seen this as being the ceiling. People have seen the minimum wage as being the ceiling and yet these people are still loyal to the businesses after 20 or 30 years' work and over time it has actually become much harder with rising costs for those people to survive. We need to acknowledge those people. We need to support those people. And that's exactly what we have done in raising that minimum wage.We've also as I said talked about backing our Kiwi businesses to innovate. So when we hear that we're not backing businesses one of our major major announcements that came to fruition on Monday was the backing of our Kiwi businesses to innovate. This is the biggest and largest ever investment in research and development ever. Over a billion dollars was announced in Budget 2018 and here it is. I'm very proud that we on Monday saw that coming to fruition. This will incentivise work results in new knowledge new or improved processes services or goods. This will have spillover benefits to New Zealand and we will see that happening time and time again. I just want to finish by saying here that we want to grow the economy and we want to improve the well-being of New Zealanders and we are committed to actions to see this happen. The first of April was one day of delivery and 1 April continues the delivery of our plan as a Government to build a modern New Zealand that is sustainable productive inclusive and fair for everyone.
