Hayes JoJO HAYES (National): Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker. I'm pleased to stand to take a call in the third reading of the Families Commission Act Repeal Bill. There are a few people that I want to acknowledge. I want to acknowledge the Hon Anne Tolley who started the work progressing through the disestablishment of the Families Commission and then the social policy evaluation and research unit or SuPERU. I also want to acknowledge the Government for carrying on with this piece of legislation and working through the disestablishment of the Families Commission and for picking up the work that started under the National-led Government around social investment. Whatever you call it—social investment social well-being—it's all about helping children helping those most vulnerable and at risk in moving from one space to a better space. The work that was done around the Growing Up in New Zealand reports up to age 21 has been invaluable in being able to inform the progress and process forward for social investment.Yes I heard the Minister's speech as well talking about the social well-being approach and giving power back to the people and letting the people actually determine their future and bringing out the potential of those families. I guess a little dig in here is that is very similar to what the outcomes for Whānau Ora are: being able to empower families to be able to determine what their future will be and to bring out potential within that family group as small or as wide as it can go. As I sat and I listened to the speech in my office I started to wonder whether or not the Government had really thought about some of their investment strategies around the Budget.I want to make mention of the Rt Hon Bill English because contrary to what many people think about Bill he was very caring. He really was concerned about the social situation of young children and children at risk. Some people might say that you can research to death—you know what is it; the analysis to paralysis" - type thing—but the work that went on in developing the social investment approach did inform the Rt Hon Bill English about the state of where children at risk really was and what were the key areas the key indicators—I suppose they would call them—of children at risk and why they were at risk and what we could do as a Parliament to move forward and to help them and support them to move from the state that they're in to a better more productive state.There were certain areas around you know the mother's qualifications etc. and we know that research has said that a mother's qualifications actually have a lot to do with the success of her children. I'm one of those. My mother was well-educated and consequently we were all well-educated as her children. That was her drive. I know that I'm digressing away from the bill but those are some of the aspects within a social investment approach a social well-being approach—what have you.So without any further ado I just wanted to get across some of the thinking that I have in my head around where to from here. I do stand and I do commend this bill to the House and hopefully we will see some more great things that have been informed by a National-led Government as we move forward. Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker."
