Brewer CameronCAMERON BREWER (National—Upper Harbour): Aucklanders are rejoicing: a 26 percent increase in water rates has been averted. Congratulations to local government Minister Simeon Brown Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Mayor of Auckland Wayne Brown and of course the 20 Auckland councillors who unanimously supported our Local Water Done Well plan. Balance sheet separation has been achieved council ownership and council control have been retained and now much much more water infrastructure can be delivered. Auckland households will not be hit with huge water rate increases any more and that's thanks to this Government. And the good news is: for the other 77 councils in New Zealand Local Water Done Well is coming to a town near you.Aucklanders are rejoicing. Roads of national significance are back and Auckland has got a lot to celebrate. We are building the long overdue north-west alternative highway aka the Kumeu bypass the East-West Link Mill Road—Mill Road! And what's more this Government will construct the north-west rapid transit corridor aka the dedicated busway up the north-west motorway State Highway 16. Great for Upper Harbour. Great projects that are being progressed by our Government not by the last Government. They did nothing. In fact they vindictively cancelled the likes of Mill Road. Aucklanders are rejoicing that as of 1 July there will be no Auckland regional fuel tax a saving of 11.5c per litre for Auckland motorists. What's more only half of what's collected since 2018 has been spent with most spent on speed bumps red-light cameras and cycleways.Aucklanders are rejoicing: failed light rail is dead and buried. Despite them wasting $228 million on consultants after years of trying the only thing Labour delivered on was a string of media releases. Not one inch of track despite the promises. And yet Aucklanders were promised—get this!—a 13-kilometre tunnel from Wynyard Quarter to Mount Roskill and then stretching above ground to the airport. Never doable never achieved never got off the ground. It made building 100000 KiwiBuild houses look even doable. So the cost all up of $29 billion was averted with that light rail fail and they spent of course $30 million on the Kiwi Bacon building that was now not needed.Aucklanders are rejoicing that Labour's $785 million cycle bridge across Auckland Harbour bridge is not getting off the ground. It was chucked in but of course not before $51 million was spent on consultants designs and engineer fees. And of course Aucklanders do not forget the $45 billion promise that Chris Hipkins made on the waterfront in Auckland in August last year for their additional harbour crossing and the spaghetti jungle that would be dropped on the North Shore and that included trams up Glenfield Road. This is pie-in-the-sky stuff and thankfully we've got a new Government that's now focused on what Aucklanders really want.Finally Aucklanders are rejoicing because tax relief is coming. Tax relief is coming and it's targeted. It's targeted to a big voter base in Auckland our low to middle income earners. They deserve some respite after this cost of living crisis that Labour have driven up after six long years of recklessness come the economy.Thank you for your support Aucklanders. Thank you. Over 40 percent of Aucklanders voted for the National Party in October—over 40 percent. Auckland was a stronghold for the National Party. In fact 57 percent of Aucklanders voted for one of the three coalition parties. We won't let you down Auckland. We're backing Auckland. Auckland's going to be back as the commercial capital of this country. We're going to drive Auckland into prosperity. It's Auckland all the way.
