8. Question No. 8—Housing (Māori Housing)TAMA POTAKA (National—Hamilton West) to the Associate Minister of Housing (Māori Housing)Question No. 8—Housing (Māori Housing)8. TAMA POTAKA (National—Hamilton West) to the Associate Minister of Housing (Māori Housing): Does he stand by all his statements and actions in relation to Māori housing?Hon WILLIE JACKSON (Associate Minister of Housing (Māori Housing)): I thank the member for the question. Yes in particular when I said last week that this Government has done more for Māori than any other Government in history and I actually referenced the member himself Mr Potaka. As we all know the Opposition likes to talk about what members have said in the past and when Mr Potaka said just last year this Government has been very much engaged entwined and bolted-on to what we're doing—which is wonderful. Mr Potaka he also said You either love them or you hate them and right now we love them." I'd like to thank that member for his ongoing support and love. Kia Ora. Tama Potaka: How many of the 553 contracted houses have been completed under the iwi prototype scheme and are now occupied by residents and their whānau?Hon WILLIE JACKSON: As that member well knows—as an avid supporter of this Government he knows the problems that our people have to go through in terms of infrastructure whenua Māori; the member knows there's a range of problems. Andrew Bayly: What about a number? Spit it out. Hon WILLIE JACKSON: What we do have is 1000 houses contracted to 2025—fabulous work done by Minister Henare Minister Woods but at the moment we have 70 built.Simeon Brown: Point of order. The question was quite clear around how many from a particular programme had been delivered and I didn't hear an answer to that question. I heard about 1000-something else—SPEAKER: I'm surprised you heard anything. You're kidding right?Hon Peeni Henare: Can the Minister confirm that two weather events have impacted on two of the prototypes and that those prototypes pivoted to help the East Coast in need?Hon WILLIE JACKSON: I can confirm that and confirm the support of Sir Selwyn Parata who has also given huge support to this Government; along with Tuku Morgan one of the leaders from Tainui; Pita Tipene from the North; Willie Te Aho from the coast; and of course we've got Jamie Tuuta from Taranaki—and of course the member gave his undying support well just at the end of last year. I thank him for going for that love and support.Tama Potaka: How many if any of the houses built through the Māori housing iwi prototype scheme now house people who were previously on the social housing register and does his ministry collect that information?Hon WILLIE JACKSON: As the member knows I'm not responsible for the social housing register—the Minister's over here—and if one day he becomes the Minister of Housing which I think will be never he could possibly ask that question. I'm not responsible for that register but I am responsible for the iwi prototypes. Can I say today this is the only Government that's ever had a by Māori for Māori strategy. The previous Government never put anything in place. Shame on Mr Luxon—he's responsible. He's the leader now but Tama here is a big supporter of what we're doing so maybe he can initiate that in 2030 or something when maybe you'll get into Government.Tama Potaka: How does the Minister reconcile that answer with his answer to written parliamentary question No. 23271 when he states "I'm advised that Te Puni Kōkiri does not collect information about whether individuals living in houses funded through the Whai Kāinga Whai Oranga were previously on the Housing Register."?Hon WILLIE JACKSON: I'll just do this slowly for the member because I have a lot of aroha for the member—I'm not the Minister responsible.Tama Potaka: How many houses if any have been built at Ihumātao?Hon WILLIE JACKSON: As that member knows Ihumātao is a unique situation and our people have five years to build houses and the member who's related to some of those people over there should know better. He's been very patronising and he's learnt too many of the dirty rotten National Party tricks—I want the old Tama Potaka back."
