Young JonathanJONATHAN YOUNG (National—New Plymouth): We are very very pleased to stand in support of a great National Government. And to that previous speaker—well dreams are free. Good on you. Keep believing it. We have seen some great progress and growth in regional New Zealand. We have seen a renaissance. After years of neglect and sunset industries around agriculture this Government supports regional New Zealand in a very strong and deliberate way. We invest not just in terms of infrastructure but we are investing into the regions in terms of collaboration and working with not only regional officials but businesses. We are working with iwi leaders. We are working with every regional leader and chief in order to develop strategies and action plans that bring forth great growth.For example in Northland there are 58 projects after a year and a half of that action plan being in place getting some great achievements which that member over there on the other side knows nothing about—nothing about. He goes up there for holiday weekends and that is about it. He might be up there on Good Friday but he will be gone on Saturday. He will be down to Auckland enjoying a bit of stuff down there. He has no idea.It is good to see that we are not only working in Northland but in Eastern Bay of Plenty—in Gisborne in Tai Rāwhiti. We are working in Hawke's Bay. We are working in Taranaki—a great region. Here we are—through this last year we have been knocked back by commodity prices internationally that we have no control over yet we still have the highest GDP per capita in the country. Is that not amazing for a region like Taranaki? Is that not amazing? That you could get kicked in the guts by what is happening overseas and we are still fighting we are still up and we are still doing very very well. It is great to see that Taranaki is a high-performing region with high technology great workers great imagination and great members of Parliament.Whanganui and Manawatū what great regions those two regions are—and the work that is happening there through those action plans. The West Coast of the South Island is another region that has been affected by international commodity prices yet it has got determination. Why? Because we work with it we partner with it we help it we encourage it we believe in it and we get behind it. Southland is another one as well. All of these regions are seeing a renaissance. They are seeing new energy and new investment. They are seeing growth and they are seeing success come their way. We are seeing very proud New Zealanders in every one of these regions as they work hard and determine their own success and their pathway forward.It is great to see business leaders rise up and take hold of opportunity. We can work with them and we can help them as they challenge those I guess assumptions that have worked against them for so long. We can see great growth. One of the things we believe is that these regions—particularly the region that I come from Taranaki—have gone through a time of great I guess difficulty with the dairy price and the oil and gas price. The oil and gas price went right down to under $30 a barrel. If you can imagine back in 2007 and 2008 when it was $140 what a huge difference that is. It is up to $55 a barrel today. I know that in that region those oil and gas companies have made their adjustments they have in a sense been able to fine-tune their operations and they with fresh determination are pressing ahead to bring through that valuable commodity of oil and gas.The policies from that side of the House will continue to destroy those regions. We know for example when it comes to dairying that they want to pull further costs out of particularly biological emissions and that those farmers are going to struggle incredibly in that period of time. This Government is working hard. It is working hard to bring technology to bear to help farmers and we are seeing fantastic and great gains. I would say that under this National-led Government agriculture a great mainstay of our economy and oil and gas another great stay of our economy—with the application of technology and the application of smart thinking—are going to continue to prosper and see this nation succeed. Thank you.
