Lubeck MarjaMARJA LUBECK (Labour): Talofa lava Madam Speaker and thank you for the opportunity to speak on Budget 2021. Now the previous speaker Paul Goldsmith mentioned 2020 but actually this is Budget 2021. But let me talk about Budget 2019 when New Zealand was the first country in the world to actually deliver a wellbeing Budget tackling some of our country's most disturbing long-term challenges. It's been that exact commitment to wellbeing that has actually put us in a really strong position compared to many of the other countries.Budget 2021 then reflects the principle that has guided us since we came into office and that basically is: leave no one behind. To do this we take a very balanced approach. We make sure that we put new investment directed towards the greatest need but at the same time we also keep a lid on debt. So we are securing our economic recovery while keeping people safe but we know we can't take this recovery for granted. There is still a global pandemic raging and we know that we are still in a highly volatile global environment that will continue to bring ongoing uncertainty.Now last week I was lucky enough to be invited by Mr Speaker to sit in on a Speaker's dinner with some of the European ambassadors based in New Zealand. We spoke about many places in the world where most of these Budgets and most Government announcements are taking place under restrictions online or in socially distanced parliaments because in those countries COVID is still causing havoc and distress and many are going through a third or even a fourth wave of COVID outbreaks. I know that firsthand because of course my family is in the Netherlands where my mum and dad still have been locked up since pretty much March last year. My sister who probably is watching actually working from home—it's 7.30 in the morning now. So yeah still working from home because there is still a global pandemic raging there.But in New Zealand of course we have always said that our strongest economic response to COVID would be a strong public health response and that's exactly what we've done. Because we did so we got a head-start on our economic recovery and also that recovery continues to be supported by a very strong health response.Vaccines were mentioned and of course vaccines are an important step. That's why we have $1.5 billion allocated in Budget 2021. Rolling that out has been a massive logistical exercise and our plan is ramping up at the moment. We have already delivered more than half a million doses now. That vaccine roll-out is continuing to make sure that Kiwis have vaccines available free of charge. I saw that work firsthand last week in Wellsford when I visited the Coast to Coast Health Care facility which was especially set up to provide vaccines for the Far North. I want to do a shout-out to Tim and Nancy Molloy and Neil Anderson who have done a fantastic job there in Wellsford to convert an unused meeting and storage area to a kick-ass vaccination centre for the local community.Hon Dr David Clark: How many doses?MARJA LUBECK: They're doing about 10000 vaccinations a month. They're starting five days a week 8 to 5 and they're ramping that up to seven days a week much like we're doing with the Government as well. So we're ramping it up: 500000 vaccinations already delivered and that is continuing to be ramped up. So sites like that are an enormous testament to this Government's recovery effort. In fact I did a Facebook Live but I forgot to mention that people do need to make an appointment so can I just correct that for the record: please call and book an appointment before you go in because the clinic has been flooded with people keen to get their vaccinations done.So Budget 2021 of course focuses on wellbeing—we're making sure that we give every New Zealander a fair go and that means that our country basically takes that opportunity of what our finance Minister always says to build back better: The glimmer of silver lining on the darkest of clouds." That sort of ties in with this year's Samoan Language Week: "Poupou le lotoifale ola manuia le anofale."—I hope I got that right—in English "Strengthen the posts of your house for all to thrive." That looks like 16000 people supported into studying through the Training Incentive Allowance seeing 33000 children lifted out of poverty Treasury forecasting 221000 more people in jobs over the next four years as our recovery continues. So I'm absolutely proud to be part of this Government that is making this happen with its strong values its brilliant leadership of course by our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. I thank you Madam Speaker. Fa'afetai."
