Davis KelvinHon KELVIN DAVIS (Deputy Leader—Labour): Well that is a speech of delusion. But it is a pleasure to stand up today and to tick off another year of success for this Government. And boy doesn't it show how lucky Aotearoa New Zealand is that we are in Government. You'd have heard some of the hits from our Prime Minister but what I'm most proud about are in fact the wins that we have got for Māori over the past year so here is my top 10.Number one: nothing shows the contrast between us and the Opposition quite as much as Matariki—a public holiday that truly represents Aotearoa New Zealand whereas the Leader of the Opposition seems to want to celebrate Matarangi". Who knows what he thought that was. Maybe he confused matarangi with "pōrangi" which would be an apt description and celebration of the National Party. It's interesting also the confusion of the Leader of the Opposition who in his address to you Mr Speaker admitted that he celebrates and supports the red team and not the blue team where he actually lives. Then we have the ACT Party who would prefer a national holiday for "Crate Day" a day to celebrate binge drinking. Now opposite us we have the National Party who want to celebrate something called "Matarangi" and on the other hand opposite us we have the ACT Party who want to celebrate getting haurangi. But I can understand the Opposition's desire to drown their sorrows. Secondly as the Associate Minister of Education I love seeing our ongoing work to implement New Zealand's history in schools. It's an opportunity for Māori to tell the history of New Zealand not the misinformation and the revisionist stories such as Europeans discovered New Zealand or Paul Goldsmith is from Ngāti Porou. Finally the 750 years of Māori history will have a chance to be taught and understood instead of being dismissed in favour of the post - Abel Tasman side of our history.Thirdly our progress towards creating a Māori Health Authority. We know Māori are disproportionately worse off on negative health statistics but unlike previous National - Māori Party Governments we won't ignore and underfund the healthcare system. We will support Māori to live better and heathier lives. This authority is what Māori have been calling for and we are delivering.Coming in at number four we have supported Māori across the country to get vaccinated. I'm proud that 86 percent of eligible Māori are at least partially vaccinated despite former Māori Party leadership actively deterring Māori from being vaccinated on the basis that they are asserting their mana motuhake and in doing so undermining equitable vaccine outcomes for Māori.Fifth our Māori Ministers and Māori caucus worked together to get $1.1 billion for Māori in Budget 2021—say no more.The sixth thing is Māori housing. In Māori housing we are doing the mahi. We have overseen housing repairs and papa kāinga development across the country and we're continuing to walk with iwi to support their aspirations such as this week's partnership announced by Minister Woods with Ngāti Toa.Seventh as the Minister for Children I want to ensure all children including Māori in State care are supported. That's why I've taken up the challenge to turn Oranga Tamariki around. The future direction plan I announced will support our tamariki through greater Māori and community decision making. We know the State needs to do better and this Government is up to the task.Number eight: when we took office everyone was talking about the number of Māori in prison and the skyrocketing prison population. Well this year we implemented Māori pathways in three facilities designed to address the overrepresentation of Māori in prison. It's unbelievable to think that the previous National - Māori Party Government did not even have a Māori strategy for Corrections.Ninth I'm proud of the work we're undertaking to support iwi to settle—for example yesterday we saw the first reading for Maniapoto. And if Andrew Little can just get Ngāpuhi over the line I'll organise his ticker tape parade down the main street of Kaikohe.Last but not least our continuing support for Waitangi. Next year the Waitangi trust has said it'll be a virtual event and we'll continue to support that trust. Kia ora Mr Speaker."
