Eagle PaulPAUL EAGLE (Labour—Rongotai): Thank you Mr Speaker. What a privilege it is to have the opportunity this afternoon to talk in the House. I too want to mirror the sentiments of colleagues and acknowledge the victims the families and those suffering across the world for the events of 15 March which will forever be etched into the memories of many if not everyone.I heard the Minister of Finance the good member of Parliament for Wellington Central speak and it made me think of 15 March the Friday. We were having our catch up and he said I think I'd better come a bit earlier—what's happened in Christchurch." I said "Come up to Newtown."—where the electorate office is. We thought look let's walk across the hill because in Kilbirnie is the city's mosque and we were able to go there listen—we didn't talk; it was a rather tense sombre mood. We were there for quite some time because during that walk over the hill we got the true extent of what happened. I won't say the rest is history but the rest certainly formed our history and I want to acknowledge our Muslim brothers and sisters whānau in Aotearoa New Zealand this afternoon.Look folks I heard the previous speaker Chris Bishop. I lost him on the word "road" regained consciousness on "multimodal" and then fell asleep again. But look can I just say I always get rather hazy and blurry when they talk about roads—that just seems to be their sole policy—but today I wanted to talk about people because people are what make me tick. It's been great to be able to spend much more time in the electorate office and talk to people. We've got good strict conditions in the electorate office but whilst the door is locked and it looks closed we're very much open for business.I want to acknowledge one set of people and that's our public servants—often those who get forgotten about. But let me tell you considering I represent a whole lot of them they certainly are not shy to tell me what they think despite couching it with "Although I have to be neutral" and there they tell me the rest of their story about what should happen what could happen. But what they do tell me is that the best economic response is a strong health response and that's come through loud and clear. I am proud of this Government's strong health response and to have that mirrored and reflected in feedback from Wellingtonians at least to say "We agree with you. What you're doing is right but life is tough." I know for many of them they are working from home as Government departments reorganise themselves. What that does do is it means that local businesses in our suburban communities are benefiting from their contributions. I know in Island Bay certainly the cafes there responded well to servicing public servants for their coffee and scone at morning tea time allowing them to write the very reports for this Government and get business moving as their normal day took place but in a quite different format.The other group of people I want to acknowledge is staff—our staff—and I acknowledge those in all the electorate offices in fact because they are the ones who get the correspondence log it process it through and ensure that those responses—and they are many. One of things I often look through is just the personal stories—and I'm not going to share those—that they share because they are in sheer need of help. Be it an immigration issue a health issue or a job issue what they do say is that "We're happy and we like your response in terms of what you're doing." So that reassurance is absolutely brilliant.I want to finish there and say look this is a Government that I'm proud to be part of. We've got a five-point plan in place and I'm going to be back to talk about that."
