Henare PeeniPEENI HENARE (Labour—Tāmaki Makaurau): Thank you very much for this opportunity. Nau mai hoki mai e Te Whare. Welcome back. It has been a bit of a long break and we are back into the swing of things.I have heard many times today people talking about this amazing broadband roll-out this investment into infrastructure that sees the internet become more and more accessible. Well a recent report has Māori access to internet still at around only 64 percent. In fact it is the lowest in the country and we argue that most of those Māori are actually in the city believe it or not. We do say that there is a significant lack of development for broadband usage and infrastructure in the regions but I would argue that in Tāmaki-makau-rau in fact much of the Māori population is a transient population. That is a population that cannot afford to get on to the network let alone access it. You will find them down at McDonald's accessing the free Wi-Fi. So 64 percent—is this the kind of progressive economy that we want and that the Māori people are looking for to engage in an economy that will provide sustenance provide sustainability for them and their families?I want to turn right now to He Kai Kei Aku Ringa. He Kai Kei Aku Ringa is the Māori economic development strategy. I am going to argue that despite seeing trade delegations go overseas despite seeing all of this rhetoric around iwi settlements I can tell you that the Māori people in the regions are not benefiting. Certain people are. Fat cats are. There are people eating at the trough but I can tell you this: the majority of the Māori population are not benefiting—they are not benefiting. We know that the settings in the National economy are broken because they are not filtering out to the regions. They really are not.So what is the answer from this Government? In Northland I tell you what we will settle with Ngāpuhi and that will fix the entire economic issue in Te Tai Tokerau in Northland." Well I do not think that that is responsible economic management nor do I think it is sustainable nor do I think it is something that will engage the entire region; it will just put the onus on Māori to lift the regions out of the doldrums because that is what its plan is. That is what the plan is. Let us utilise all of these settlements. Let us utilise He Kai Kei Aku Ringa. We will pull in a few of the Māori leaders and we will tell the Māori people that the economy is booming for them and when they are ready they can come and plug into it. They can receive the benefits from this growing economy—He Kai Kei Aku Ringa. More than five trade delegations offshore—that is fantastic. The culture is being seen in China Asia all over the show. What has come back to the beneficiaries here in New Zealand Aotearoa? Nothing—nothing. I argue that it is absolutely nothing. So what is the plan? Like I said—oh well we will give the iwi more settlements and expect them to do the job that we are failing to do. I have spoken about the He Kai Kei Aku Ringa strategy.Why is it then that Māori unemployment still remains above 12 percent—above 12 percent? We also know too that the majority of the Māori population are young people rangatahi. So approximately 80000 young people are not engaged in employment education or training. This tells me that the settings are broken. This economic plan this great hope for this country is not working. It is not working for the people in the regions. It is definitely not working for Māori—that is for sure. I have already mentioned the unemployment statistics. Let us not talk about the poor housing-ownership rates. Let us not talk about the low wages. Māori and Pacific Island people in Tāmaki-makau-rau are filling a lot of those low-skilled jobs.What does this Government do? It has no plan to raise the wages—none whatsoever. We talk about poverty. All of the issues that we have just discussed and debated around housing come back to this: a really poor economic plan. We need one that will provide a vision for Aotearoa New Zealand one that will see us all prosper; not just the people at the top but everybody—Māori Pākehā in the regions in the cities. That is the challenge in front of this country and this Government is failing to meet that challenge. It is failing to come up with a clear plan for prosperity."
