Doocey MattMATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Thank you very much Mr Speaker. What Megan Woods the last member who has resumed her seat did not tell the House is that the last time under earthquake regeneration that Christchurch got any money was in fact under the last National Government. This Government has promised $300 million and a capital accelerator fund and Canterbury has received zero. In 16 months we've seen a country that had a Government that backed New Zealanders to now a country where we've got a Government that tells New Zealanders that they know better. In fact when she talked about the Metro Sports Facility and the multi-use covered stadium both of those projects have stalled under this Government and that's where we see the Government raising expectation but under-delivering. They pledged $300 million for Canterbury and haven't spent one dollar of that yet.What I'm looking forward to also in the Minister for Greater Christchurch Regeneration's electorate is the promised Rolleston to Christchurch railway pledged at $100 million. I tell you what: you don't hear about that any more because it's not going to happen. That's what we're hearing more and more around New Zealand: the frustration things being promised they talked up a big game but nothing was delivered. Of course in the beltway of Wellington you can say a lot but in fact—[Interruption]—there's Kieran McAnulty. He's still really happy he's finally got a job where people talk to him unlike his last job. What they're disappointed at is things are said in Parliament and if they're not delivered they affect people in everyday life. Look at KiwiBuild: a thousand homes were promised down to 300; 47 were delivered and now we've abolished all the targets. Then we had Mr Arrogant" the housing Minister Phil Twyford—SPEAKER: Order! Order! The member will withdraw that comment.MATT DOOCEY: I withdraw and apologise.SPEAKER: Members are to be addressed properly.MATT DOOCEY: The Hon Phil Twyford the housing Minister was on camera saying about the housing crisis: "If it wasn't that easy the last National Government would have done it." That's exactly it; we didn't say it was easy and that's why we were working hard on it. But when they were in Opposition they said it was easy because all that needed to happen was for the State to intervene because of course that's the answer isn't it? As long as the State intervenes that will happen. And what have we seen? The lack of delivery in a year ironically called the year of delivery. What they haven't learnt and something that we spoke tirelessly about last term and got let down by other political parties is that in fact it's very simple to look at the formula for housing. We saw it in Canterbury with the earthquake recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee with the powers he got writing and drawing big circles on the map that freed up the bylaws the red tape and the regulation and freed up the people who build houses—the builders—to get on and do it.That's why we replaced the thousands of houses that we lost from the earthquakes to now Treasury saying we're moving towards a surplus of housing. The formula is there. If you free up land it increases supply and it equals demand. That is the formula and that's what I implore this Government to do because in their year of delivery I genuinely hope they do well because it is New Zealanders' lives we're talking about. We can say what we want in the beltway but it is New Zealanders' lives. So I genuinely hope they do well in their year of delivery.But it's not what we're seeing. Look at my electorate Waimakariri one of the third fastest growing electorates in the country. We've had huge growth and we've actually met the demand with housing and under the last National Government we turned the sod and started construction for two new motorways to address the huge increase in commuters going into Christchurch City. And what does this Government do on the ground? They cancel the Belfast to Pegasus motorway including the Woodend bypass. Now Woodend is a small town that's got a motorway running through the centre of it. Kids and mums walk across that motorway every day to go to the primary school. Currently it has 18000 car movements a day. In the next 10 years that'll go up to 28000 car movements.Chlöe Swarbrick: What if you invest in public transport?MATT DOOCEY: Pupils and parents—"What about public transport?" Get down to the regions. These parents and pupils have to cross that motorway every day. Under the New Zealand Transport Agency those metrics triggered a new motorway. That's what they triggered those metrics. Now they get a safety consultation. That's what they get. Why? Because this Government has stripped $5.5 billion out of the State highway funding to fund trams in Auckland. Now where is that delivery going to happen for the people I represent? And it's not only in the Waimakariri; we're seeing it all across the country. That's what they see as delivery.What they're seeing is the stripping out of an investment into vital infrastructure. Another area I want to talk about is my spokes-role of mental health. And let's get a stocktake of what we've got after 16 months. Yes we've had a mental health inquiry. Yes it has listened to thousands of people and met hundreds of meetings but where is the delivery? We're waiting. And what we see after the former Opposition talked up a big game around mental health funding and wait times for young people's services—we're going through the annual reviews at the moment. In Counties Manukau District Health Board (DHB) annual review their mental health ring-fenced funding for the last three years before this Government came into power increased $4 million to $5 million a year. In the last year it went from $151 million to $152 million a bit over $1 million. Previously it went up $4 million to $5 million every year. In the last year under this Government Counties Manukau DHB's mental health ring-fenced funding went up $1 million.A look at the wait times: they were meeting targets for child and adolescent mental health of around 73 to 74 percent. In the last year they've dropped down to 70 percent. So here we have a Government that's over-promising and under-delivering because what we had was $100 million in Budget 2017 to fund 17 mental health initiatives that this Government cancelled that could have been delivering real support to vulnerable New Zealanders on the ground today.Mental health workers to be paired up with emergency responders: the police were devastated when that got pulled. That was going to be a game changer. That was 16 months ago. Imagine the difference that service could have made on the ground today. And that's what we're hearing—all these promises but very little delivery.As many will know I invited parties to join a cross-party mental health group in July. We had the Minister decline that. The inquiry reported back today and in fact we heard from the mental health inquiry panel today in select committee. They said to us in the inquiry that they had heard the public's call for a cross-party mental health group in New Zealand's Parliament. Yet we have the health Minister who says "We don't think the public wants an internal talkfest amongst politicians" who's not listening to the public already he's offside with the panel of his own inquiry and is not endorsing his own recommendations.We've seen a country have a Government that backs New Zealanders. Now we've moved to a country where the Government knows better than New Zealanders. You can say what you want in the beltway of Wellington but ultimately we're affecting lives of people in New Zealand. This Government has said 2019 is going to be a year of delivery genuinely for New Zealanders; I hope it is."
