McLellan TraceyDr TRACEY McLELLAN (Labour—Banks Peninsula): Thank you Mr Speaker. There are two things that I like most about Budget 2023. The first one is that it makes sensible meaningful support for today and the second is that it takes the opportunity to continue to build for tomorrow. I think those two high-level things are worth celebrating. We've already heard several contributions from colleagues from this side of the House as they went through specific measures. I think they're worth repeating.The Government has introduced a suite of measures to help people because we know people are doing it tough at the moment. There's no denying that. We know that people are experiencing a change to their budgets and that they're feeling a bit more vulnerable than they were a couple of years ago because of global inflation rates. And we know that it's not just people in New Zealand; it's people right across the world. But it's people in New Zealand too and that matters and we know it matters to them.What's important though is how the Government tackles this. A good Government steps in when needed and helps the people who need it most and that's what this Government's doing. We recognise the issue. We've created measures that can be helpful and sensitive but are also really really balanced so that they don't then go on to cause more inflation. As my colleague the Hon Deborah Russell just said these measures were lauded for the fact that they can be inflation friendly so to speak. So we're really pleased about that.When I said there were two things I very broadly said the second thing was about building for tomorrow and over the last couple of weeks we've heard several contributions about what that might look like specifically. But the one thing that I wanted to talk about today was that Budget 2023 positions the New Zealand economy for the future because of some major investments into our science into our digital spaces and into our horticultural technology sector as well. And even within that there's a specific investment that I think's worth talking about and that's the support that we've given so that our gaming industry can grow. I don't know if many people realise just how big this industry is and just how much potential it has. Last week I tagged along with my Christchurch colleague the Hon Dr Duncan Webb and we went to a place called CerebralFix and we met the boss Tim a fantastic young man who's done an amazing job over the 10 years that CerebralFix has been operating. It's an entertainment studio. It's not just about gaming; it's about all sorts of things. They are an experienced technology firm they've got developers they've got artists they've got designers and they're pretty top notch. And he was I think it's fair to say pretty chuffed with the measures that the Government has introduced. By providing the 20 percent rebate for video game developers what we've done is even that playing field. This industry like many other industries is always competing for skill and always competing for talent. And they know I think that they have barely even scratched the surface of how this industry can grow and what the potential is. So they're pretty excited and we appreciated the tour. The other thing we're doing is investing in science research centres. Many of us depending on what select committees we're on would have travelled around looking at different Crown research institutes and what we've heard when we talk to people there is that often they just want more collaboration. So we're creating three multi-institute research hubs that are actually going to bring those scientists together and make them work closer together and increase that collaboration. It ensures that we use the resources better—these are really expensive facilities with really expensive equipment—and it positions New Zealand to meet what are our complex challenges—and we know what they are. They include things like health and wellbeing. You know so much more is expected from health and wellbeing than even 10 years ago. We have to move and grow in that direction. Climate change: the advances that we need to make in advanced manufacturing and technology—these are all really good positive things And as I said while it's incredibly important that we keep our eye on what matters most to people right now today—which is tackling the cost of living—we've also got to be really wise and future-focused and think about how we build for tomorrow. So we are focused on the issues that matter to most New Zealanders while still keeping a healthy eye on tomorrow.
