Warren-Clark AngieANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): Tēnā koe e Te Māngai o Te Whare. A real pleasure today to stand and talk about the Prime Minister's statement. I just have to before I commence that acknowledge my colleague Tino Ririkatene and his statement today—did I say that right? Rino Tirikatene: Rino. ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: Rino—Rino Tirikatene sorry. I got it right. Anyway what he has said about our Prime Minister is absolutely correct—absolutely correct my friend. I might have got your name wrong but I knew what you said. I'd just like to quote initially from the Prime Minister's statement: Two years ago this Government of three parties set out on an ambitious programme to tackle the long-term challenges that have been neglected for nine years. We committed to major investments in housing health education conservation police and infrastructure. We committed to restoring the environment creating more jobs lifting the finances of families and reducing child poverty." The Prime Minister then spoke from her heart about what we've done and how far we've come and all of the work that we've had to fix and what more we've got to do and what our plan is. I was incredibly proud of that speech and of our Prime Minister and of the progress that we've made. In fact when I was listening to the member Todd Muller I was really surprised that he chose to speak about the farming community—the 32000 families that he tries to represent. He's actually the member for Bay of Plenty the community that I live in and I wonder why he didn't stand here and talk to us about the amazing things that are happening for the Bay of Plenty in Tauranga. He wanted to just turn the picture away. Now one of the things that is most amazing about our infrastructure spend is that $993 million has been committed into our community—$993 million has been committed into our roading infrastructure. Not talked about; not a ghost road but committed and it will be spent on our roads—absolutely amazing. Our city is groaning under the infrastructure pressure and I'm so absolutely proud that our Government is taking care of the infrastructure needs that have been for so long neglected absolutely neglected by the National Government—for nine long years in fact. I'm really delighted as well that we're taking mental health seriously. In our community of Tauranga we are looking at a new purpose-built mental health service. That is $30 million worth of services that will help and support our people to be lifted up out of mental health and difficulties. I think it's also amazing that we have an extra 93 police officers in our community—Marja Lubeck: How much? ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: —93 police officers in our community—alongside our serious crime unit. Now the member Todd Muller did not mention that we have had some significant issues in our community and I would just like to acknowledge that we as a community are getting on and working towards solving that. We are a community filled with tremendous wealth and tremendous natural beauty but also we have some serious underbelly difficulties and issues in our community and I'm absolutely delighted with the way that our Government is approaching this. We're not saying "Lock down the gang members." and we're not saying "Let's do a beat-up." but we're saying "Let's look at the system let's lift wages let's lift opportunity and let's give people the opportunity to change and to make good in their lives." We're not saying "Let's just lock 'em up and throw away the key." because actually that doesn't do anything for those people. All it does is help make noise sound good. So finally in my last few seconds I'd also just like to say very carefully and somewhat quietly that I'm so very proud of our Prime Minister and her leadership and I'm so very proud of our Government for what work we have done. We have more to do. We are getting on with it. We've got a plan. We are delivering. Thank you."
