2. Question No. 2—Prime MinisterHon SIMON BRIDGES (Leader of the Opposition) to the Prime MinisterQuestion No. 2—Prime Minister2. Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Leader of the Opposition) to the Prime Minister: Does she stand by all her Government's statements policies and actions?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Prime Minister): This will surprise the member: yes. Hon Simon Bridges: Does she stand by her statement from January when asked if Phil Twyford would keep his job at the mid-year reshuffle Yes."?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I expressed then confidence in the Minister and I continue to express confidence in the Minister—in particular because we are now a Government that is building more houses than any Government since the mid-1970s. We have 2000 additional public housing places. We have expanded Housing First and our work on homelessness across the country. We are building more State houses. I am proud of our record. We have tried something in KiwiBuild that has never been tried before and it's an ambition that we are not stepping away from. Hon Simon Bridges: Why did Phil Twyford say in January that a KiwiBuild reset would be "a couple of weeks away" then signalled it would be in April and then in May stated it would be "probably mid-June"? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Look we are absolutely focused on making sure that we do the reset once and do it right. Houses continue to be built in the meantime and I'll continue to point out that that includes State houses as well of which I'm very very proud of the fact that we have quadrupled the number that are under construction. We're now at 2700 State houses under construction. The member would do well to remember that we've actually had to pick up the pieces on housing across every single area: transitional State public housing places and homelessness—every single corner you turned in housing we have had to fix. Hon Simon Bridges: When will the KiwiBuild reset be announced? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: When we're ready to announce it. Rt Hon Winston Peters: Are the answers to Mr Bridges' second primary question the same as her answers to his first primary question because the questions are the same? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: One could make that assumption. Hon Simon Bridges: Will the KiwiBuild name survive the housing reset? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Obviously the most important thing is whether or not we are continuing to build houses and the answer is yes. The member I know may not be inclined to look at polls but there was a poll on KiwiBuild where 60 percent of New Zealanders want us to keep going and the reason for that was that they accept—even if the member does not—that we have a crisis that it requires intervention and that we cannot give up on ensuring that we have affordable housing in New Zealand. Hon Simon Bridges: Will the name KiwiBuild survive the reset? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: As I say I see that as the least of the issues—what something is called. The most material thing is whether or not we are going to keep building houses and the answer is yes. Hon Simon Bridges: When was the last time she said "KiwiBuild" and can she say it today? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I'm pretty sure I actually might have said it in this House but KiwiBuild. Hon Simon Bridges: How many KiwiBuild houses has her Government built? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: As we have said before currently—and I said just this morning if the member chose to listen—we've got around 480 that are currently under construction 10000 that are currently contracted—[Interruption] SPEAKER: Order! Order! The members' leader asked a question. I think there were about four members there who need to turn down the volume and in some cases the frequency and in some cases the repetitive nature of their interjections. Hon Simon Bridges: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I think the difficulty is I've asked how many KiwiBuild houses have been built and the Prime Minister is not answering that question.SPEAKER: Well given—Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. To be fair I didn't actually complete my answer and I'd be happy to do so if the member would give me the opportunity.SPEAKER: That's what I was attempting with my intervention. The Rt Hon Prime Minister completing the answer.Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: As I said 10000 homes are currently under contract to go under construction; 480 are currently under construction; 141 have been completed; 2700 State houses are currently under construction; 1200 State homes since we took office have been completed; 2000 more homes have families living in them—public housing because of us—and of course we have the additional investment in Housing First. The reason I mention that for the benefit of members is because as I've said in every single area of housing we have had a crisis that we have been addressing and we will continue to address.Hon Simon Bridges: Of all the houses she's mentioned KiwiBuild and otherwise how many of them were not already consented or under construction at the election; and isn't the answer "Stuff all if any."?SPEAKER: Order! [Interruption] No that is not an appropriate question. Does the member have a further question? Hon Gerry Brownlee: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. Would it be reasonable for you to perhaps explain what was inappropriate about that given the series of answers that we'd had from the Prime Minister?SPEAKER: Well I think it's fair to say that the answers we've had from the Prime Minister may have been fuller than necessary but whether or not that is the case it is not a reason for the Leader of the Opposition to use inappropriate language as part of his question. Hon Gerry Brownlee: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. Are you now ruling—SPEAKER: Order! Mr Brownlee has the floor; Ms Bennett will be quiet.Hon Gerry Brownlee: Are you now ruling that the use of the word "stuff" associated with the word "all" is inappropriate parliamentary language?SPEAKER: Yes."
