Jackson WillieHon WILLIE JACKSON (Minister of Employment): Well that's another shocking speech from a shocking Opposition. The sad thing I think in what we've seen over the last few weeks—although Dr Shane Reti has been very much trying to save them—and what we'll see in the next coming weeks is Dirty Politics Two". Sadly that's what we're seeing. The ugliness of the campaign is apparent for everyone to see. We see it on social media. We hear it in terms of the backstabbing. We hear the tone. I do a bit of Facebook and when I talk about Judith and Jacinda there is only one winner. SPEAKER: Order! Order! Hon Member: Second names. Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Second names—absolutely sir. Judith Collins and Jacinda Ardern—there is only one winner. Our supporters they love the compassion and the kindness and they hate the ugliness and despite the desperate efforts of Dr Reti nothing has improved for them in the last few weeks. Just look at the polls. I want to salute our leadership team today run by "Chippy" or Minister Hipkins over here who's done a fantastic job; Dr Megan Woods; Grant Robertson; of course our leader Jacinda Ardern; and Peeni Henare who's running the Māori leadership side for us in terms of health. We are so humbled by their leadership. They've done so many things so well. Over 44000 people—44000 people—have come across the borders and yes we've had one or two mistakes but it's only one or two mistakes. They can be proud of this: 10000 tests a day—that's what Mr Hipkins is talking about now. Ten thousand tests a day—just brilliant. All border and managed isolation workers are being tested. Managed isolation and quarantine facility workers are being tested. We're doing the business. We've had the odd mistake but that's life. We don't have to go hysterical. We don't have to go crazy like some of the media have. You know the world is not going to fall apart because one or two people escape from the facilities. Hon Member: What! Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Now we know—one or two people. Forty-four thousand have gone through. South Auckland and West Auckland—here's a South Auckland leader over here. Carmel Sepuloni is a West Auckland leader—we're not stressed; we're not traumatised because of what happened the other day. We come from the area—we come from the area. The Prime Minister did the right thing and gave an apology—well done to the Prime Minister but we in our communities were happy to line up and go and get tested. In fact for some of our leaders they thought it was one of the best mistakes that ever happened in South Auckland and West Auckland. The Samoan crew the Māori crew—we thought it was great that our people lined up and went and got tested. We didn't need an apology. The only apology we wanted was from the National Party. It's the National Party who needs to apologise to South Auckland and West Auckland for the trauma that has been caused there for years and years and years. They are sick and tired of the ugliness of the insensitivity. They're sick and tired of the under-resourcing. Hon Member: Oh he's restarting The Alliance—Alliance party leader. Hon WILLIE JACKSON: We know what happened in health. You apologise to South Auckland and—SPEAKER: Order! Hon WILLIE JACKSON: —West Auckland for Middlemore Hospital. You apologise for what's happened—SPEAKER: Order! Hon WILLIE JACKSON: —in terms of the under-resourcing in terms of our health build where people have to line up to be served at the hospital where we have sewage coming through the walls of Middlemore Hospital. That's what's happening in health in South Auckland. We've got a mental health system that's broken because of nine years of National. Apologise to our people in South Auckland and West Auckland—a mental health system that's been broken. We have poverty at an extreme that was started by the National Government and we've tried to pick it up. Jacinda Ardern has done the business in terms of putting the frameworks in place. We have a housing crisis that was never acknowledged by the National Party—nine years of trauma; nine years of families missing out in terms of housing and in terms of health—and we have an education system as the Minister knows that was so underfunded and so under-resourced that it was just a joke. This is where the apology should go to. It should go to the people of South Auckland and West Auckland and this country who have had to recover over the last three years and they've only recovered because of the work of this Government and the record investment that we're putting in in all those key areas—in all those key areas. Māoridom: under-resourced underfunded. Pasifika: underfunded under-resourced. Why? Because of a useless rotten National Government that was there for nine years—nine years too long. Keep staying with us and we'll do the business next time too. Kia ora tātou."
