Volume:714;Page:11101. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]2.Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Leader—NZ First) to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by all his statements; if so why?Rt Hon JOHN KEY (Prime Minister): Yes and because I do.Rt Hon Winston Peters: How is Auckland going to solve its housing supply problems when demand is inflated by 34000 people coming into Auckland from overseas every year—[Interruption] When they stop I will keep going. [Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order! There is too much interjection and there is one member particularly who is continuing to interject. I can name him if that would help quieten him down. Mr Peters start the question again.Rt Hon Winston Peters: How is Auckland going to solve its housing supply problems when demand is inflated by 34000 people coming into Auckland from overseas every year or is this to quote him and I do “hardly some sort of crisis that we cannot cope with.”?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Some of those people who come in actually come in with skills that can be applied in this particular area of housing. Secondly if you look at the construction workforce which has grown by 40000 in the last 2 years nationally and by 24200 in Auckland the reality of a fast-growing Auckland partly because of population growth both internally and externally has added to a great deal of economic activity and job opportunities for New Zealanders.Rt Hon Winston Peters: How is Auckland going to solve its now massive roading infrastructure problems when half the population of New Plymouth or 34000 are now coming into Auckland from overseas every year?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: As the member should know the Government has been investing massively in infrastructure in Auckland spending a great deal not only on roading but also on public transport and billions—I think $4 billion—has gone into KiwiRail in the time that we have had that and that has included the electrification of lines in Auckland the additional rolling stock and the like. The Government is committed to its share of the central business district rail tunnel now. The Government has also invested in very large roading projects like the Waterview Connection.Rt Hon Winston Peters: How is Auckland going to solve its education and health supply problems when the demand for education and health services is inflated by 34000 long-term arrivals from overseas going to Auckland each year let alone those who come from the rest of the country?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Firstly many of the people who go to Auckland are returning New Zealanders who have decided to come from overseas because like myself they have worked in another part of the world and they have realised what a great place New Zealand is. And under a National-led Government there are so many reasons for them to come back and be a part of Auckland and a part of New Zealand and there are reasons to celebrate that.Hon Gerry Brownlee: This is great. The member’s running an advertorial for the Government.Rt Hon Winston Peters: Eat your heart out Gerry.Hon Member: Bring back Ron.Rt Hon Winston Peters: They have never asked you mate.Mr SPEAKER: Order! I know the member is responding but on this occasion can we have the supplementary question.Rt Hon Winston Peters: If the latest household economic survey reports that every income decile has declined in homeownership except for the top 10 percent when will he start governing for all New Zealanders and not just for his rich mates?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: If one looks generally at those who think the country is going in the right direction versus the wrong direction the member will see that substantially the number of people who think the country is going in the right direction outnumbers those who think it is going in the wrong direction. They are New Zealanders from all parts of the country and with all different economic cohorts. I think that answers the member’s question. [Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order!
