Hayes JoanneJOANNE HAYES (National): Thank you Madam Speaker. It's a pleasure for me to get up and speak on this bill and to support the motion that was put on the Table by our leader the Hon Simon Bridges of having no confidence in the Prime Minister's statement at all.I just want to cover off in the short time that I have a couple of areas within non-delivery of this Government. One of those key areas for me that I have a big concern about is children. This Government has failed children. It promised that it would reduce child poverty and lift children out of poverty by 30000 children. This Government has not done that. They have failed in their delivery to children. They have failed in the fact that 11000 more children—Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi: How many?JOANNE HAYES: —11000 more children—are in hardship families; 15000 additional children are in benefit-dependent households. That is failing children in Aotearoa New Zealand.If the other side if the Government benches think that that is wrong just look at the comment made by the city missions who said that children under this Government have been poorly served. They did better under the reduction of child poverty under—Hon Stuart Nash: Rubbish.JOANNE HAYES: —a National-led Government. Don't say Rubbish." when it came from the city missions that actually made that comment. The other area I want to talk about is the cost of living because that is impacting on child poverty—the cost of living around the prices of fuel the increase of fuel taxes which is limiting the ability for families to actually get to their jobs because the cost of fuel is just absolutely hammering them and taking every last piece of extra dollars that they have because this Government's got greedy. This Government's got greedy. Food prices have shot up. How can people that are on low incomes survive under this Government? They cannot.Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi: Go to the grocery store and see for yourself.JOANNE HAYES: That's right. Go to a grocery store and look at how much food prices have gained under the leadership of this Government.To actually offer beneficiaries as a trial My Food Bag parcels I believe is an insult. Why don't you just put the money into the beneficiaries into low-income families and into increased benefits? Because under a National-led Government in 2015 we did that—the first time in 43 years that a Government has raised benefits and it was this side of the House that did that in 2015. So when it comes to who cares most about those on low incomes to make sure that we look after them and that we respond to them it is this side of the House. It is the National side of the House that does that. And many people on the other side on the Government benches can sit there and have a little chuckle but the evidence is out there—it is on the streets. People are struggling to survive.Now my last point that I want to cover off is Whānau Ora. It would be terrible of me if I didn't mention Whānau Ora and the shambles that has happened to Whānau Ora commissioning agencies over the last 12 months. The 2019 Budget everybody celebrated—"Yay $80 million across four years for Whānau Ora commissioning." Well guess what? The Minister never told the commissioning agencies exactly how that fund was going to be split up. So you can imagine the shock that the commissioning agencies felt when they found out that they'd be getting less than 50 percent of that $80 million—less than that; the Minister never told them. Money that went to Government agencies—Government agencies are already funded. They should look into their own budgets and actually sort out how they are going to respond to Māori whānau.Also around individual commissioning who knew about that? Only the Minister. That is why Dame Tariana Turia Dame Iritana Tāwhiwhirangi Dame Naida Glavish Lady Tureiti Moxon and Merepeka Raukawa-Tait have been and met with the Minister have met with the Prime Minister and are taking a Waitangi Tribunal claim against this Government for the treatment of Whānau Ora not only the commissioning agencies but whānau that are actually served under those organisations under Māori providers. It is shameful—this is not a Government that has delivered. They have failed to deliver for those that are in need of support and the economy is reeling from it."
