Andersen Ginny; Mallard TrevorVIRGINIA ANDERSEN (Labour): What a great opportunity to stand and speak about what this Government has achieved in the past 100 days. Labour has achieved more in the past 100 days than National managed in 3280-odd days—nine years. We've done it in 100.What potential has yet to come in the following months and years that we can deliver that will affect the lives of New Zealanders? Let's take a look. Let's take a look at the life of a child—one child—under this Labour-led Government and let's look at how that child has changed with the new laws that have been brought in in the past 100 days. Paid parental leave—26 weeks' paid parental leave. We watched as National Party members fought this legislation and stopped it from coming into force with a financial veto. What we've done is enable parents—mums and dads—to bond with their kid in those early years that important time enable mums to breastfeed for the requisite time and enable kids to get a good start at life. Let's not forget how much National Party members fought tooth and nail to prevent this from coming into force—and they're still fighting tooth and nail but this time amongst themselves.Best Start payment: this is the next stage in the child's life. Once 26 weeks are up then there's $60 a week in the pocket for those families in the first year of a child's life. The better bit still is for those low and middle income earners—the ones that the members opposite don't tend to want to know about too much. They're the ones that are also provided for by enabling that money to come in for the second and third year of the child's life to give that first three years.And then at three years that nicely dovetails into the last Labour Government's policies: 20 hours' free early childhood education enabling mums or dads to go back to work on a limited time and making that affordable. The cost of childcare has meant that the second wage-earner in the average household hasn't been able to afford to go back to work even if they want to because it's not financially worth it for their family. This legislation enables from zero right through to five those first five years of a child's life to be well supported. That's a plan. That's a clear vision for how we want to see children in New Zealand grow up.There's no vision from the other side. You can't build the next generation of New Zealanders on a tax cut or a promise of a tax cut. That's not a vision; that's a promise. Perhaps the next leader of the National Party will be a bit bigger on vision. I bet Simon Bridges has had a few visions lately—try to speculate on what those might be. I'm proud to be part of a Government that's got a plan and a vision for New Zealand.So at five years old the child is at school likely to have no fees—isn't that great? I'm encouraged by schools in the electorate of Hutt South already not nominating to put fees up because of the reassurance of what this Government has provided for. And to have no national standards—the overarching thing on teachers. Instead of having to deliberate bureaucracy they can get on with doing their job and teaching kids and us having confidence that teachers can do that well—well-supported teachers that have professional development and the ability to do what they do best. Maybe Nikki Kaye instead of having to moan about national standards all the time will have something else to think about now that there's some leadership to be discussed and that will give her something else to have a think about.After that we've got tertiary education—free tertiary education under this Labour Government; training and education available to all New Zealanders so that you can choose the child can choose what they can do with their life whether it be polytech university or other trade training. That is now available to all people in New Zealand under this Labour Government. It gives everybody the opportunity for education that best suits them and it maximises the potential of our people. Speaking of maximising potential we might just say that the Leader of the Opposition might've just maximised his lately.And finally jobs: at the end of it having the ability to get a job that pays a wage so that you can afford to pay your rent or even maybe one day buy a home. That's the vision that this Labour Government has for New Zealanders. From the time children are born to the time they're earning a living we're making sure that people are provided for and we're going places. This is a Government that looks—SPEAKER: Order! [Interruption] Order! The member's quite a bit over.
