Curran ClareCLARE CURRAN (Labour—Dunedin South): Wherever you go in New Zealand whether it is Auckland Palmerston North Hamilton Dunedin or Invercargill what people are looking for is leadership. They are looking for leadership and they all care about similar things. They care about housing they care about health they care about jobs they care about education and now they care about water. They do not need the kind of non-leadership" leadership that you are getting from Bill English—that "nothing to see here move on" Bill English and his numpty Ministers like Nick Smith.Take housing. It is out of control. We know it is out of control. First-home buyers are locked out of the market thousands of people are homeless homeownership is at its lowest level since 1951 and there is the continuing sell-off of State houses. The housing crisis is now reverberating in Dunedin: unaffordable rentals people taking in lodgers no emergency housing and now people living in garages. Getting on the list for a State house is virtually impossible.Yesterday a woman contacted my office in absolute distress. She is 61 she works part-time and she suffers from anxiety. She is in a good place at the moment: her health is stable and she has lovingly cared for and maintained her State house for 36 years. Last Saturday she got a letter in the mail from Housing New Zealand saying that Quotable Value will be taking pictures of her house. She was concerned. She rang the 0800 number. She was told that yes her house was one of 6000 that had been marked for sale. This has shaken her world. She lives in the house with a small poodle for company. She knows that finding affordable rentals with small dogs will be impossible. The house has had rails installed by the district health board (DHB) to aid access. I ask you Mr Speaker and I ask the Government members over there: what is the point of that?Then there is health. In February 89-year-old Doreen was admitted to Dunedin Hospital and was put on the acute list for surgery to remove her gall bladder. For the next 4 days she was prepped for surgery every morning—4 days every morning—and at the end of each long day no surgery and no food; only a sandwich at the end of the day. I think she got a meal once. One of those days she was wheeled down to the theatre only to find that there was no doctor. There was no doctor. For each of those 4 long days as I said she received something to eat only at the end of the day. When she came in she was sprightly. She lived alone she could swim regularly and she could walk around the ward. By the end of the fourth day she was very weak. She has had her surgery now. She is still recovering—she will take a long time to recover.This Government has got no plan on improving health. It has cruelly cut $1.7 billion from the health system. Nearly 60000 Kiwis have been declined first specialist appointments because DHBs are struggling. The Dunedin Hospital rebuild is going round and round in circles. It is the major issue on everybody's mind in Dunedin. Constant delays have stretched the process out and vague answers and broad themes presented by the DHB have done nothing to restore confidence. Our community deserves better. Jonathan Coleman the current health Minister is just sitting on his hands. The next health Minister Michael Woodhouse is likely to build a worm farm—he may even turn Dunedin Hospital into a worm farm.My colleague David Clark has just presented a petition from more than 3000 people to Parliament—on the steps of Parliament just a few minutes ago—to begin asking the Government to begin the rebuild before the 2017 election.Finally there is Cadbury's a major multinational that has pulled out of Dunedin where Cadbury's has operated successfully for 80 years with nearly 400 workers losing their jobs. It was the biggest private-sector employer in Dunedin. This is not because it was not profitable—it was—but it is a chess piece on a board for a big multinational to make even more profit elsewhere. In 2006 the Labour Government invested $2 million to keep Cadbury's in Dunedin. What does Bill English do? He comes to Dunedin last Thursday and makes the observation: "Gee that's a huge thing for affected workers." He is hands-off disinterested and kicking the can—not a leader."
