Volume:698;Page:18008. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]MIKE SABIN (National—Northland): Perhaps in the debate on the title and commencement clauses of this legislation arising from the Budget Measures (Financial Support for Newborn Children) Bill we should have actually been trying to thread in the words “Sue Moroney” because that is pretty much all the previous speaker Sue Moroney talked about in her contribution. I picked up on the point—and I think it is an insight into Sue Moroney’s mind-set—that she is not always proud of her country.Grant Robertson: At least she put a bill up.MIKE SABIN: But when she puts a bill up that she thinks a few people think is OK suddenly she is proud of her country again. Interesting.It is not all about Sue Moroney though. We have heard much about her take on what National should be doing in Government. We have heard that any sort of variation other than her non-targeted bill—which essentially goes far too far and actually provides support for people who I would argue do not need it. I would not need it. On my income there is no way that that support should be available to me.That is what this Government has done. It has ensured that the bill that we have been debating is actually targeted at those who need it is responsible and actually meets the need. It is not just a blanket mechanism. If we look at the situation out there and the support that members of the New Zealand community are provided with someone on an income of $50000 or so with two children is actually tax-neutral. They are actually tax-neutral under this Government. There are actually many people who do not need the sort of support that Sue Moroney’s bill the Parental Leave and Employment Protection (Six Months’ Paid Leave) Amendment Bill would have proffered.When we look at these particular bills the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Amendment Bill (No 2) and the Taxation (Parental Tax Credit) Bill they are encompassed in a Budget that actually distributes $500 million across the community to New Zealand families. It is actually a very generous package when looked at in totality. The reality is that although we are debating this legislation it cannot be looked at in isolation. This is a Government that has continued to support those who are struggling and those who have been vulnerable for a significant period of time. Much has been said about the people who are left out as a consequence of this legislation the most vulnerable. Well those most vulnerable will be getting $33 million more in terms of our support. The Children’s Team initiative and the free doctors visits for under 13-year-olds are two very good examples of what this Budget has been about and where this legislation fits in a total package.I have no problem in supporting this legislation because I think it helps meet the need in a way that is sensible and prudent and I actually think that the New Zealand publicget that. They get that this is not about lolly scrambles. They get that it is about targeted support. That is what it is about.
