11. Christchurch Schools Rebuild Programme—ProgressJOANNE HAYES (National) to the Associate Minister of EducationChristchurch Schools Rebuild Programme—Progress11. JOANNE HAYES (National) to the Associate Minister of Education: What recent announcements has the Government made on the progress of the Christchurch Schools Rebuild Programme?Hon TIM MACINDOE (Associate Minister of Education): The Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme is a $1.137 billion programme involving 115 schools in greater Christchurch. The programme has great momentum and is on track to be completed on schedule by 2022. In conjunction with a number of very enjoyable school and site visits in the last week I have announced that the $26 million redevelopment of Hornby High School has commenced the $3.5 million project at Hornby Primary School has been completed the construction of the new co-located Avonside Girls' High School and Shirley Boys High School at QEII Park has begun the redevelopment at Wharenui School has been completed and yesterday I turned the first sod—Rt Hon Winston Peters: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I know it is late in this session but surely Ministers cannot get up and tediously and boringly read out their recent agenda of what remotely little work they have been doing. Hon TIM MACINDOE: Speaking to the point of order—Mr SPEAKER: No I do not need assistance. Unfortunately the rules of question time mean that a Minister can in fact do that. Does the Minister wish to complete his answer? Hon TIM MACINDOE: I do indeed wish to complete the answer because the question was about what announcements have been made and all of these announcements have been made in the last week. I turned the first sod yesterday to mark the beginning of construction at Addington School and on the site of the new Wigram Primary School and I have to say that is more great news in a wonderful week for Crusaders fans. Joanne Hayes: How will these projects benefit schools in the greater Christchurch region?Hon TIM MACINDOE: I think even members opposite would have to concede that it is a huge undertaking to rebuild and redevelop 115 schools in the region. Hon Member: How many? Hon TIM MACINDOE: One hundred and fifteen schools in the Christchurch region. The Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme is also a great opportunity for schools to redesign all or parts of their school facilities to meet the needs of their current and future pupils. All 115 schools will be provided with fantastic modern facilities and learning environments which will encourage learning to happen and pupils to achieve to the best of their potential. So I would like to thank and acknowledge the schools the staff and the boards of trustees of those schools for their commitment to securing the best facilities while also focusing on student achievement in their current environments. Hon Trevor Mallard: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. Recently by way of point of order I indicated that an explanation that Mr Nash gave was by way of personal explanation. I have since checked and found out that it was part of debate and not that. I therefore apologise to you to the Minister and to the House. Mr SPEAKER: I appreciate that from my Assistant Speaker. The matter has been dealt with and of course the members always have that relatively recent Standing Order Standing Order 359. If people think they have been misrepresented and it does not reach a case of breach of privilege there is a very easy process to follow. It has been followed once with success in this House where I thought a particular person and his party's position was quite seriously misrepresented in this House. So it is a mechanism available to all members. I suggest they become familiar with it. Hon Steven Joyce: Speaking to the point of order Mr Speaker I have since seen a number of articles that suggest that the member proposed a 10c a litre royalty. Perhaps—I do not know—we could table them in the House. They might be useful. Just for the House's edification I would be happy to do so. Mr SPEAKER: Well if the members—[Interruption] Order! I have dealt with the matter so I am not going back on that but if the member is now seeking leave to table an article on the basis that there has been some debate about whether it was said I will put the leave. I need the date and I need the source of the article. Hon Steven Joyce: I will have to come back to you on the date. [Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order! [Interruption] I will wait till later. Supplementary question Dr Megan Woods. Dr Megan Woods: Did the original business case for the Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme show Addington School was scheduled for completion by the start of 2016 and the new Wigram school completed by the end of 2017; if so why is he only announcing the commencement of these projects this week? Mr SPEAKER: There are two supplementary questions there. The Minister can address one. Hon TIM MACINDOE: I do not have all of the information the member is asking for but I know she was delighted to be with me yesterday for the turning of the sod on that property at Wigram. I can assure her that the entire community is absolutely delighted with that development. Question No. 10 to MinisterHon STEVEN JOYCE (Minister of Finance): I seek leave to table a New Zealand Herald article of Wednesday 21 October 2015 where MP Stuart Nash called for a levy on the commercial use of water—Mr SPEAKER: Order! [Interruption] Order! The article has been described. [Interruption] Order! In view of the issues that have developed in question time I am going to put that leave. It is for the House to decide. Leave is sought to table that particular article from the New Zealand Herald. Is there any objection to it being tabled? There is objection.
