Warren-Clark AngieANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): Thank you Madam Speaker. For a while there I fell asleep listening. But I came to when I heard What is this Government doing and what have they built?" Well I can tell you: 2700 social houses under build currently. What did your side do? What did the Opposition do when they were in power? Well I'll tell you what they did: they sold them off. They stopped building. In fact we have had the strongest build since the 1970s and it is incredible to me that the Opposition constantly bang on about us not doing anything and not delivering and yet this morning when we heard from Housing New Zealand who came to talk to us about what they're doing they talked to us about the transformation that they have under way internally and what they are managing to create and the trust. Didn't we hear 6 percent trust up since 2017? This is a Government that is leading with compassion but we are also a Government who is leading change across our country.Now I came to Parliament for one particular reason. I came to Parliament because at a time in my life as a manager of Tauranga Women's Refuge I kept hearing from that Government at the time from the National Government that there was no housing crisis—that there was no housing crisis and I heard it day upon day. Yet the experience that the families that I was working with—those most disenfranchised those least able to help themselves those most vulnerable—I heard that they constantly could not get a house. They looked everywhere. In the nine years under National we had five social houses built in our community.Hon Willie Jackson: How many?ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: Five—and the sad reality is that we still currently only have 2.5 percent of stock when we know that we need for social housing at least 4 percent and that's just to keep up. So there is a massive massive build that has to occur. But we also know when the massive sell-off occurred under that Government the organisation that purchased those houses was not able to inspect them. Well let me tell you: when I was campaigning and also as manager of Tauranga Women's—DEPUTY SPEAKER: Don't tell me—don't tell me. Tell the House.ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: Sorry ma'am—let me tell the House. When I was campaigning and as manager of Tauranga Women's Refuge going into State houses in our city was shocking—it was shocking and I cannot understand how the members who represent our community could've allowed those conditions to continue. Housing New Zealand was decimated with staff. They were told that they should have their relationships only over the phone and an 0800 number would be the number that they should call.So these people were looking for repairs. They were looking for maintenance. We didn't have enough houses and that Government told us there was no housing crisis. The women and children I worked with in order to support them my job was to look them in the eye and make them homeless so they could get far enough up the list in the Work and Income needs assessment to get them a motel for a week—a motel for a week. I had to throw those people out on the street to work with the bureaucracy in order to get them homes.That was the reason I came to Parliament because the party that I belong to and this Government have said "Enough." We have put in place and are building 2700 homes currently. We have said "Enough." and we will not allow our people in our community to continue to live in this way. Now it's going to take a while but we are up for it. We have the plan. We have the leadership. We have everything we need to get going and to get this right. Thank you Madam Speaker."
