Warren-Clark AngieANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): Thank you Madam Assistant Speaker. I am delighted to stand and speak to Budget 2018. It's obviously my first Budget and I feel very grateful to our coalition Government and the Hon Grant Robertson for the creation of such a fiscally and socially responsible Budget.There is so much need—right? So much work we have to do to fix nine years of neglect: rebuilding critical public services taking action on child poverty promoting economic development and supporting the regions enhancing and protecting our natural resources and enriching New Zealand's culture and identity. We've done it all in this Budget. Sure we haven't had enough because we've had to fix up the mess left over. But we are on track. This is a foundation Budget. This is the Budget where we start again and we get it right from scratch.So it's been nine years for those of us—as I say I'm only new to this House. So for me I have lived raised children worked and supported the community that has suffered under nine years of neglect. We know how hard these things are. We are winning in many of the worst categories in the OECD. What does that say about our little piece of paradise? What does it say?We've gone back to our core values in this Budget—universal education—and we're working towards ensuring this happens. Our Government has invested $12.26 billion into education. Education however sits within the context of our lives. It's not a silo where we focus on just learning. We are now looking more deeply into the areas where our families' broader social context is taken into account. A hungry child does not learn well. Our Families Package helps that. A child living with violence at home cannot concentrate and be open to learning. There's $76 million towards front-line services to support our families.A police increase—and I see that Matt King has left the House—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): Order! You cannot refer to a member who's not present in the House.ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: Sorry; OK. I see a former member has left the House—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): No that's not right either.ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: Great. I see today that every four minutes in this country the police respond to a domestic violence call out—every four minutes. We are working to fix that.A child sleeping in a car or living in a transient homeless situation will struggle to reach their full potential. A child living in a cold damp home will be absent due to illness and they miss out too. Our Budget addresses these factors and our coalition Government is working collaboratively and the Cabinet table is working collaboratively to lift our families. Every child benefits by our investment in education.I'd just like to mention the ORS which is the ongoing resourcing scheme in education: $133.5 million for a thousand extra students for vital support—helping young Kiwis reach their potential by getting $21.5 million to ensure early intervention is available for up to 8000 children. And I'd also like to mention our very hard-working and longstanding teacher aides out there who are actually doing it hard and are getting some support now to do this work.Education is about a solution for us all: educate a child educate a village. Thank you.
