Yang JianDr JIAN YANG (National): I would like to focus on infrastructure. Last weekend I attended the New Zealand Chinese Building Industry Association's annual conference. I chaired a panel discussion regarding China's Belt and Road Initiative and the opportunities for New Zealand. Belt" refers to the economic belt of the Silk Road and also "Road" refers to the 21st century maritime Silk Road. New Zealand is on the maritime Silk Road. That is how New Zealand is related to the Belt and Road Initiative. This initiative is closely related to infrastructure because infrastructure has been fundamental to economic growth. We all understand that the Chinese have focused on the building of infrastructure in the past 40 years. They say that if you want to get wealthy build roads first and that is what they have been doing for the past 40 years. We all understand that infrastructure is particularly important to all economies and similarly in New Zealand so this Government is very proud to say that we are the infrastructure Government simply because we understand the importance of infrastructure and have invested heavily in infrastructure. I will give you an example: ultra-fast broadband. We have invested $2 billion in ultra-fast broadband. We understand our economy is global and our e-commerce has been growing fast globally and in New Zealand. Many international businesses depend on the internet so we have been investing heavily in this particular object. Combined with the Rural Broadband Initiative this ultra-fast broadband programme is the biggest ever infrastructure project taken in New Zealand. Now we have 1132000 households and businesses that have access to fibre and 370000 schools businesses households and hospitals are now connected to fibre—to ultra-fast broadband. We are a global connectivity leader so New Zealanders should be very proud of that. We also come to transport because we know it has been a challenge. Of course there are reasons why we now have this particular transport challenge. We believe it is because our economy has been doing very well and has been very successful. We now have more jobs. People are economically active. They move around and also people are staying in New Zealand and many people are moving back to New Zealand. So those are some reasons. But nevertheless we are facing a challenge. We are going to find solutions. We are investing billions of dollars in transport including $436 million in Auckland's City Rail Link at just stage one. So what is Labour's solution? Well basically it is that people should not come to New Zealand—stop them from coming to New Zealand and maybe ask people to leave—because we need to slow down the economy so that we can have a breather. So that is Labour's solution which is basically to slow down the economy and have people leave and not come to New Zealand. That is its solution. That is the difference between a united hard-working forward-looking Government and a lazy and also of course a lack-of-ideas Opposition. That is the difference. I emphasise that in this Budget Budget 2017 we are investing another $4 billion in infrastructure and this is the single-biggest investment of new capital in infrastructure in one single Budget for decades. What is more we are going to have another $7 billion—another $7 billion—in the next 3 years. So in total we are going to have $32.5 billion invested in new infrastructure in the next 4 years. That is how much we are going to invest in infrastructure and that is how much attention we are paying to transport and to other infrastructure. That is what this Government has been working hard on—that is we are going to lay a solid infrastructure for all aspects including transport our schools and everything. So this is genuinely—genuinely—an infrastructure Government. Thank you."
