Webb Duncan; Rurawhe AdrianDr DUNCAN WEBB (Labour—Christchurch Central): Tēnā koe Mr Assistant Speaker. The starting place for this Budget as it should be is how we can make the biggest difference for the people of New Zealand. I must say as the Christchurch Central MP it's great to see that that was the starting place for the people of Christchurch as well because this is a Budget which finally recognises what is needed in Christchurch—not how to win the next election but how to have a vision for the next 30 years. What we want is to build a resilient country and a resilient city—resilient not just in a physical sense; resilient in body in heart in mind and in spirit and that's what this Budget is about. In terms of Christchurch we know seven years has been too long. Seven years has been too long when a Government was sitting on its hands letting things go wrong in Christchurch and that's now changed. It's changed in a whole lot of ways already. Minister Megan Woods has already taken steps to sort out the debacle that was left in the Earthquake Commission. An interim chair has been appointed and an independent commissioner is in there but do you know what? This Budget sets aside funds and appropriations to address the problems. So we've got a tribunal being set up. The former Government was spending money through Government organisations on fighting the people of Christchurch. Well we're going to spend money on solving the problems of Christchurch not in an adversarial way but in a common-sense way. It is a tribunal that is based on mediation not one where the money is funnelled through to lawyers and other professionals but where the money is properly used on solving problems. You know we're going to have breakthroughs in Christchurch now at last. Test cases are going to be funded but probably one of the most important things that's going to be funded is $28 million to address the mental health needs of children in Christchurch schools because the mental health of some of those children has been broken. They need fixing. There are going to be mental health workers available through those schools that are needed and it's going to be funded by that $28 million. That was needed from day one. We're here we're doing it now and this is something which we've said is going to be rolled out throughout New Zealand right up to decile 4 schools. So that's another move here for the health of New Zealand children. Mental health has been ignored for far too long. Then there's the cost-share agreement—no more loose ends. We want to give Christchurch back to the people of Christchurch—$300 million for infrastructure. That is $300 million for the people of Christchurch to determine where to use it whether it be on the huge land drainage problems that exist which are exacerbated with climate change—another thing that this Government is addressing—or whether it be on the use of the red zone land. A huge opportunity a legacy opportunity—one which we don't want to be talking about what we can do today tomorrow in one year or in five years but something we've got to leave for generations and generations of New Zealanders. I am very proud that the people of Christchurch are going to be able to choose something and what is being looked at now is an innovative and a forward-looking proposal which is about a green spine—about having the Avon the jewel of Christchurch preserved. That's what this money can be used for but I tell you what there won't be. There won't be some vague agreement where this Government holds the Christchurch City Council and others to ransom. It's about a cooperative working relationship at last—one free of conflict and looking for solutions. So this is a Budget whose entire tenor is about working together to build a city and a country for the future. Of course something that will be dear to many people's hearts—perhaps not mine as much—is about the Christchurch stadium. It was another anchor project scheduled for completion in 2015 and what have we got? A vacant lot. Well now with a $300 million capital fund we've got progress. The Minister has said and I've heard her say that if the stadium will be built it'll have a roof. And you know what? It's going to have a retractable roof. Do you know why? Because God likes to see his favourite team play. Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker. ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): I understand this is a split call—five minutes.
