Brown SimeonSIMEON BROWN (National—Pakuranga): Thank you Madam Speaker. The Prime Minister started this year saying that this will be a factual and robust campaign. This came about 12 months after she declared 2019 would be the so-called year of delivery a year of delivery which still hasn't turned up and which New Zealanders are still waiting for. And then no sooner had the Prime Minister announced that this would be a year of a factual campaign than the fake news began. The Prime Minister's statement is a fake news statement with style and spin but no substance and no delivery for New Zealanders. Today I wish to speak in response to the statement about two key statements the Prime Minister made during her speech where she claimed that her Government is a Government of infrastructure and a Government of housing. And to that as all good Tui billboards say Yeah right!" These issues are important to my electorate in Pakuranga and the people I represent. However the Prime Minister's rhetoric does not match her results. When it comes to the Prime Minister's statement that this Government she leads is a Government of housing she couldn't be further from the truth. When I talk to the sensible hard-working people in my electorate of Pakuranga the word "KiwiBuild" is now synonymous with the word "failure". In fact it's going to be printed in the thesaurus soon I think. This Government promised that it would deliver 1000 KiwiBuild houses per year. It raised the expectations of first-home buyers but it delivered nothing on these numbers. Only 433 KiwiBuild have been sold to date—433. This is a dismal failure from a Prime Minister who says she is the Prime Minister of a Government of housing and something that she should be ashamed of. And then there's the little fact that she doesn't like to recognise—that she has stopped more houses being built at Ihumātao than she managed to sell to first-home buyers through her KiwiBuild programme.People in my electorate are concerned about this issue. First-time buyers were sold a dream but this Government has not turned up and this Government has not delivered on housing. And people in my electorate are also concerned about how Housing New Zealand Kāinga Ora is now entering the home market and competing with first-home buyers. Last year Kāinga Ora bought five houses for almost $1 million each in Howick direct from a developer and shut out potential first-home buyers. This Government should be focused on housing supply and growing housing supply rather than competing with first-home buyers who are trying to get on the housing ladder. This is not a Government of housing. That is a fake news statement from a fake news Prime Minister. The second fake news statement from the Prime Minister was that she leads a Government of infrastructure. Aucklanders are now paying what is called the regional fuel tax forced upon them by this Government. But there is nothing to show for it. Where's the light rail down Dominion Road which was going to be built by 2021? The spades aren't in the ground. Nothing's happened. Where's the infrastructure projects? Where's the new infrastructure projects for Auckland? We've had the Mill Road been cancelled and now restarted again. The East-West Link has been cancelled and there's no news on what's happening there. The East-West Link is a critical piece of infrastructure in Auckland critical to people in my electorate who work in that part of Auckland who drive through it and who rely on it for key transport links through our city. There is nothing in the Prime Minister's statement on what she's doing to deliver for transport infrastructure in Auckland and this is all the time while we're paying 11.5c extra on every single litre that we put in our cars. People in Pakuranga are being fleeced at the pump by the Prime Minister with nothing to show for it and with an infrastructure pipeline which was stopped and now the Government is trying to restart in a hurry to ward off a pending economic recession. National is the party of infrastructure. National is the party of a strong economy and getting things done. National knows how to deliver core Government services and have an infrastructure that people need. This year New Zealanders will have a choice—[Interruption] And they don't like to hear this. New Zealanders will have a choice this year and I know they will choose a National Government which can deliver over a fake news Government led by a fake news Prime Minister. I say "Bring it on.""
