Lee DeniseDENISE LEE (National—Maungakiekie): I don't quite know where to start with on that last contribution. The previous speaker from New Zealand First Mark Patterson just used the word egalitarian" for this piece of legislation. There is nothing egalitarian about promising all schools $150 per student donations and delivering only to deciles 1 through 7. I invite anyone on that side of the House—anyone—to tell me that there are not disadvantaged families sitting in deciles 8 9 and 10 schools. The previous speaker just used the term "rich mates" in connection with us and deciles 8 9 and 10. Was he not on the select committee—as I and others were—hearing submissions from deciles 8 9 and 10 talking to us in specific terms about students in those schools who are disadvantaged? Yes they may be in a decile 8 9 or 10 but there are many families that are struggling and they are being shafted with this legislation—completely left out. So it's wrong and it's ethically wrong—Kiritapu Allan: Who's benefiting? Not who's getting shafted; who's benefiting?DENISE LEE: —to call this an egalitarian piece of legislation. You couldn't be any further off the truth.Kiritapu Allan: At decile 1 2 3 4 5.DENISE LEE: This is a bill that has disconnected timing disconnected—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): Order! That's enough from Kiritapu Allan. Sorry to interrupt.DENISE LEE: —communications with this bill and most of all disconnected leadership. There was a shortened select committee process with this. Then at the same time principals and boards were asked to give feedback on guidance because the guidance was missing from this legislation—they only had a week to do that. We heard in no uncertain terms from schools and principals and board members themselves that they couldn't keep up with what was being asked of them.What we have here is that quite simply they ran out of budget—the Government ran out of budget. They retrofitted a promise and that retrofitted promise only extends to a half measure. It is not complete certainly not egalitarian and if the other side doesn't believe me go and read the submissions: 95 out of the 139 submissions all asked for the scheme to be extended to all schools even the schools that said they would gratefully receive still asked for it to go to every school on behalf of the other schools that aren't getting it. There's no two ways about this; this is unfair. It's a complicated piece of legislation and a very disconnected attempt at leadership in the education realm.One more thing: if you are going to be so vague and unfair and complicated with who's in and who's out and where the camps are in and day camps are out and now we've got issues around stationery—which side note here only a third of eligible schools have taken this up; anyone want to dispute that? No they don't. So far only a third of eligible schools have taken the scheme up. What does that tell you? While that's going on the follow-up whammy is that we know that this is based on a flawed decile scheme. We've committed to reviewing it. The Government says that they're going to review it too but this legislation is based on the whole entire decile scheme that you're wanting to review. Very bad timing. Very badly legislation. Very bad leadership."
