Warren-Clark Angie; Mallard TrevorANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): It's a pleasure to stand and take a call in this general debate. It's a great week to be in Parliament. We have inherited a mess and the people of New Zealand finally know it. Too many issues have been ignored and we've been paying the price. We've been paying the price for nine long years. One of the most interesting things that we've been hearing this week—and even though the members have all been getting up and speaking about this big policy that they have what the community has been hearing is that they are at it again—is that they're bashing the beneficiaries again. We've heard from the Hon Simon Bridges this week talking about taking benefits off people who are not going to immunise their children. Hey I've been a single parent. I defy that man to come to us and tell us that people who are not on benefits are not immunising their kids. This is just a perfect example of saying Hey you know what? We can get you because you're vulnerable." The other part of that as well is I heard—now I love this saying—"Mr Grabaseat" is also talking about Working for Families members being penalised as well. What we know is that there are a whole group of people who choose not to immunise their children. Let's look at those people and try and encourage them to do so. Let's not punish their children for their decisions. But actually today I want to talk about something that's very close to my heart. This has been a great week to be in the House to talk about our nuclear-free moment of this decade and about the 170000 people who marched around climate change. I want to talk about this because this is one of those periods of time when we will look back on this side of the House and absolutely be proud to say that we were there—we were there and we were doing it. I attended the climate change marches and I got asked directly what do I do—what do I do as a person to help save the world from climate change? Well I do the KeepCups and the reusable drink bottles and the metal straws and the Bee's Wraps and the compost and worm farming and I've just recently switched to a slow-fashion challenge which means that I won't be buying anything new for the next year. I look at the state of the seas and I look at the way that the environment is happening at the moment and I think about the sea level rise impacting us soon and our water table will shift and we will have massive infrastructure issues and I think about the acidification of our oceans and soil erosion. I think about these things and I worry—I worry—and I heard many many people when we talked around the zero carbon bill talk about their worry and their anxiety. So I thought that I would do something—probably not as well as our fabulous leader Jacinda Ardern. But I thought that I would do a list of the things that we on this side of the House are doing to support the environment. So I'm going to give it a go—and I've only got a minute but I'll give it a crack. OK we've banned new offshore oil and gas permits; we've protected indigenous fish; we're overhauling New Zealand's Resource Management Act as it's unacceptable for this cornerstone law to be underperforming in a country that values protection in environment; we've toiled for months and listened to hundreds of people talk about the zero carbon bill; we've brought in reform legislation about the emissions trading scheme; we've banned single-use plastic bags; we've made it easier for New Zealanders to choose active transport and choose cleaner cars with a "feebate" scheme for low-emissions vehicles; we're building a National New Energy Development Centre in Taranaki; we're building a 100-megawatt wind farm; we've established an interim climate change committee; we have given the most funding to the Department of Conservation since 2002—I've got so much but I couldn't do it. Jacinda did it so much better. It is a pleasure—SPEAKER: Order! The member's time has expired."
