Wedd CatherineCATHERINE WEDD (National—Tukituki): We are a Government of action; a Government that gets things done. As the MP for Tukituki I thought that I would take this opportunity today to talk about the 49 actions that we have done in the past 100 days that will benefit New Zealanders and the people of my electorate in Hawke's Bay. Tukituki is a food-producing region that is reliant on our trades and exports. It creates many many jobs and opportunities; it's the powerhouse of horticulture in this country. But our farmers our growers our fishermen our foresters they have found it so difficult in the past six years: challenges red tape lots of inflation lots of spending by this previous Government over here. It is time now to get the wheels moving and strengthen our economy and reduce the cost of living and get inflation back in check.We have taken actions to do this and I'm going to talk about some of those actions today because we have got the Reserve Bank back to its single focus on price stability after years of rampant inflation and economic mismanagement. We've abolished the ute tax. We are delivering for our Hawke's Bay farmers for our New Zealand farmers and our tradies. After years of disrespect we are finally respecting them.But I am particularly proud of the focus this team has on driving productivity in this country. One of the first actions in our 100-day plan was to ensure that our Prime Minister our Minister of emergency management and our Minister of Transport came to Hawke's Bay and came and saw the support that we need a year on since we were ravaged by a cyclone. They announced $14 million for Hawke's Bay for further silt and debris clean-up to clear productive class 1 and class 2 land and that has been welcomed by a lot of families that are still struggling to clear the land over a year on.But I think it's really really interesting to note here that the previous $150 million or so that was spent on the silt and debris clean-up under the previous Government had not been through a robust procurement process. This just epitomises the last Labour Government's throwing the money around with no outcomes and no results. But as the local MP I have been liaising very very closely with our silt task force and recovery agency and various departments to ensure that there is a full procurement process in place. There are now quotes there are tenders and there is a focus on getting value out of our hard-earned taxpayer dollars. This is really reassuring to see: that we are respecting taxpayer dollars.Further announcements in our 100-day plan which I was thrilled to see for Hawke's Bay was the Hawke's Bay Expressway four-laning on the roads of national significance. A focus on building strong resilient roads in Hawke's Bay is going to be paramount to productivity in our region and across the country carrying logs from the Central Hawke's Bay and apples from Hastings getting to the port faster and more efficiently. The four-lane expressway is the lifeblood between Hastings and Napier and it will be hugely positive for our region and for New Zealand.We are focused on building infrastructure and getting things done. That is why we've also repealed Labour's very broken Resource Management Act reforms that made it harder and more expensive to build anything. At a time that we need to actually get the economy moving again we need tools to build things faster. That is why I'm a massive supporter of our fast-track legislation which is going to enable infrastructure to be built. We can build the roads; we can build water storage infrastructure. Let's get building.Another part of our 100-day plan which I personally see the impact of as a mother of four young children is to get back to basics in the classroom: an hour of reading writing and maths every day and banning cellphones. These are the types of things that are going to get our country ahead get our children ahead and get this country back on track.
