Costley TimTIM COSTLEY (National—Ōtaki): I think this whole House knows what didn't work out last time and hopefully we won't be trying that for another 21 years. Hon Jan Tinetti: National Standards. Yes we hope you don't either. Don't do it.TIM COSTLEY: I love it and I listened during question time as that member interjected yesterday as well with these big gotcha moments as our fantastic Minister of Education spoke of our commitment to structured literacy. And it's as if this is some kind of gotcha moment—this big conspiracy that we would introduce this thing that has decades of evidence behind it.There is no doubt now about how the brain works about how students learn. This is a fundamental skill that too many Kiwi kids have been missing out on for too long. And we experimented with other things we tried the no leadership from the Minister thing—that didn't work. We've gone to something that does work and I am so proud to be working with someone like Erica Stanford the Minister of Education. I am so proud of this structured literacy announcement. About the only thing that made sense from that last contribution was that she was confused—and she is. She certainly is confused about who brought in structured literacy.Last week I was visiting Nayland school. I got to have a chat with the kids. Do you know what they told me? This was a random selection. In fact the principal said I just asked the teachers to all send a few kids over." He didn't know who was turning up. I asked them all "What's your teacher like? Do they give you too much homework?" I said "What do you love about school? Why do you want to get up in the morning and come to school?" And all but two of the kids genuinely the thing they said was "We love reading. We love reading and learning to read and write." I thought this is what we need in New Zealand. This is what we want.As I met and I spoke with the principal afterwards I said "What's the difference here?" He said "Four years ago"—and to be fair it was just before he started—"a couple of the teachers really took the lead and moved to structured literacy." And he said "It was a couple of years of hard work as we made that transition" but he would never have it any other way. Māori achievement is on par with Pākehā. This is what structured literacy does.This is not something that we should be debating—trying to rewrite history. They did that once and it wasn't that popular then either to be fair. This is the way forward. And I've read the comments from teachers around the country: they love it—they love it. Parents love it. I love it. My oldest daughter had her first year of primary school in the UK when I was studying there and learnt systematic synthetic phonics—structured literacy. And the difference between that and what we have in New Zealand was vast and it literally makes a difference to a kid's upbringing and to their future trajectory. I am so proud that we are bringing that in in New Zealand. And I'm not going to sit there and listen to that criticism of a fantastic Minister of Education.Now actually what I wanted to talk about today was not that but how could I sit by when we need to set that record straight? I have to just briefly for these last two minutes talk about the Kāpiti Expressway. In fact only a month ago—[Interruption] Well it's a great road built by the last National Government. And I have to acknowledge the work that Steven Joyce and Nathan Guy did to make sure that we had that—opposed by Labour. They didn't want any expressway. Certainly the Greens and a particular member in particular were not particularly keen on new expressways.So we built that and funded it and we're going to build the road up to Levin. But as I was driving down in Hamilton with Ryan Hamilton the local MP—they love him up there. Literally he is true to form; when he turned the car on AC/DC started playing. We were driving down the expressway at 110 kilometres per hour and I asked the question that so many have asked me: why can we not have 110 kilometres an hour on the Kāpiti Expressway? It is world class it is built to be safe at higher speeds but we've got the wrong speed limit on it.So I would encourage anyone who's listening to this—and I see a significant proportion of members from my electorate in the galleries—and I would encourage every single one of them to sign my petition. Go ahead to my social media you'll find it. There's a link in the bio there's a link on the page. Sign the petition. I'm going to submit all the names together in bulk—there are thousands—to support 110 kilometres per hour because we can absolutely do that. It's safe it is built for it.And some people say "Oh but we can't go from 110 kilometres an hour to suddenly being at 80." You kind of actually can. We do 100 to 50 all the time and it works out fine. But don't worry because at each end of the 110 kilometre per hour section between Raumati and Ōtaki we will have at least 1.6 kilometres of road—nice safe National Party - built road—at 100 kilometres per hour so there won't be any transition. No one has died on this expressway. It is world class. It is safe. We need to change the speed limit. I need support on the petition and I would encourage everyone that can to sign the petition. It'll be even easier if you learnt through structured literacy.The debate having concluded the motion lapsed."
