van de Molen Tim; Rurawhe AdrianTIM VAN DE MOLEN (National—Waikato): Thank you Mr Speaker. Now I think it's important that we just take a moment to reflect on what this debate is about. This debate is about the Government's Budget and their plans to—purportedly—deliver better outcomes for New Zealanders. We heard the last speaker Helen White talk about how the priority is people. That sounds great and actually that reflects the last 5½ years under this Government—it sounds good but does not deliver. That quite frankly is where Kiwis are being let down time and time again. It's about people" we hear. There are more people now in emergency accommodation than there were when this Government came to power. There are more people now living in their cars than there were when this Government came to power. There are more people suffering as victims of crime than there were when this Government came to power. There are poorer health outcomes. There are poor educational outcomes. Across the board people are suffering after six years of failure from this Government. Now this latest Budget does nothing to relieve that pressure for everyday Kiwis that are going about their jobs trying to make the best of their situation and trying to make a better future for themselves and their families. They are being let down by a Government that has great intentions but simply cannot deliver meaningful improvements for New Zealanders.We have a Government spending 80 percent more now than when they came into office—80 percent more. That would be OK if we were seeing an 80 percent increased outcome across health education law and order—name your priority area. Yet across the board we are not seeing those improved outcomes. That is one of the biggest failures of this Government: they are splashing the cash and not delivering tangible gains. Time and again what we are seeing is a total confusion between the inputs versus the outputs. The assumption from this Government is that if we spend more—and we've seen net debt rise from $5.4 billion to a staggering $73 billion under this Government an increase of 1250 percent but where are the outcomes? We simply are not seeing improvements for Kiwis as a result of this Government's focus.Now I commend them on that side of the House because they have good intentions; without a doubt they've come to this place to try and deliver better outcomes for Kiwis. But after six years of suffering it is simply not credible that they are delivering improvements for New Zealanders.Now when I talk to my constituents in the mighty Waikato what I hear consistently is that they are frustrated that it costs them more at the supermarket the kids aren't learning what they should be at school their parents can't get into hospital when they need it and the local dairy keeps getting robbed. On those basic measures we have after six years seen poorer outcomes now than we had when Labour came into power. Kiwis have had enough. They want change and we are seeing that time and time again with the conversations we are having around the country and the focus we are seeing shifting in the public polls as well.The Government have demonstrated they do not have a plan to deliver a credible improvement to the economy. We are suffering continuously and Kiwis have had enough. Those good intentions that I mentioned are admirable—absolutely we should have good intentions and I commend them for that but good intentions are nothing without good outcomes. We simply are not seeing that. Again I reflect on those key areas: health education law and order and the economy areas that impact Kiwis in their everyday lives. Kiwis that are trying to make the most of it whether they be business owners—whether they be farmers in my building and construction portfolio for example—across the board time and time again we are hearing the frustration from the difficulty of getting things done. SPEAKER: Sorry to interrupt the member but it's come time for the valedictory statements. Debate interrupted."
