Coffey TamatiTĀMATI COFFEY (Labour): Thank you Mr Speaker. Beautiful contribution from the previous speaker Glen Bennett; that's why he's going to continue to be the member of Parliament for New Plymouth in 2023 and beyond.Can I say that this Budget is all about securing our future but it's also about making sure that we're providing some instant relief for New Zealanders right across New Zealand—2.1 million New Zealanders will benefit from the cost of living payment which is going to kick in in August. Some may scoff at it and say $27 a week!" but $27 a week for three months actually per person over the age of 18—it's not per household; it's per person—and the more that I went out there on the trail last week and spoke to people about what the Budget meant for them the more they realised how significant this was. Actually just short of $1 million spent on the cost of living pressures that Kiwi families are facing right now was absolutely welcomed and it was great to be able to get out there and talk to them about some of the good stuff that featured in this year's Wellbeing Budget.I want to talk about the Māori Health Authority because as I also went out talking to different groups and organisations there was a real feeling of optimism with Health New Zealand with the Māori Health Authority and also with iwi Māori partnership boards who for a long time have been waiting to participate meaningfully in the New Zealand health system and they haven't had that ability to. Through the restructure and obviously through the Budget funding as well they are moving into a much more positive space; they know they've got something to contribute. Back home in Te Arawa the Te Arawa iwi Māori partnership board is all set up and ready to go. They've done all of their background checks they've put their people in place and they are firing on all cylinders. Budget 2022 allows them to be able to do their job and I look forward to monitoring their progress.Another thing that is hidden in the Budget—but for people that are really affected by it it's incredibly significant—is the lowering of the age for bowel cancer screening. This is something especially amongst our Māori population that we've been wanting for quite some time. There have been some champions out there saying "The age is too high; we need to lower it." That age is coming down to 50 now and through funding in the Budget we're going to be able to prevent bowel cancer in our country and hopefully we'll see the rates come down from that as well.There was a specific line in the Budget which had Rotorua's name on it. Obviously the geothermal paradise of New Zealand—but it was awesome for me to be able to see that because what I know is that back home we do have a homelessness issue but what we haven't had for a long time is some real coordination in that space. A lot of social service agencies whether they work in mental health or alcohol or other drug addictions they've wanted a bit more coordination for quite some time. A call from the front line was to set up a hub to call it Te Pokapū which in Māori means "the centre" or "the hub" and for everybody to be able to come together under the same roof to be able to triage people that come in that need emergency housing special needs grants.The feeling was that the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) weren't necessarily the best people to be able to triage the people that come in and need that kind of support. Thankfully we now have a bespoke hub on main street Rotorua where people that need those grants can go in but they just don't get the grants; Te Pokapū will actually be able to do the triaging with them. They've got clinicians from the local district health board they've got MSD officials out the back that can help they've got the social services located upstairs and they knew that despite setting all of this up their funding was precarious. They only had funding to take them until July this year they were very nervous about that so I'm proud to be able to stand here in this House and say that Budget 2022 delivered for them $130 million over four years which is going to be significant for them to be able to do the real triage that we need to do to be able to address our goals in the Aotearoa/New Zealand Homeless Action Plan but also to be able to treat people with respect and the mana that they deserve in a very fragile and very vulnerable time.I want to also shout-out about the innovation fund that's coming through tourism. We know that our tourism and hospitality industries have done it hard over COVID but in fact tourism has had its own allocation this year through Budget 2022 and what we're looking for is innovation in that tourism space. I spoke with some of our tourism providers last week and our regional tourism organisations. They're incredibly excited about the potential to come they're looking forward to seeing how they can continue to provide that level of support for tourism operators all around Rotorua and around the country to be able to do the work that they need to do.Budget 2022 is an absolute success. It addresses the initial cost of living crisis that we're going through at the moment but also sets a pathway forward so that we're tackling the big issues like climate change."
