Nakhle RimaRIMA NAKHLE (National—Takanini): Thank you Mr Speaker. I rise to take a call in the general debate. It's the first of mine since becoming an MP for the electorate of Takanini. But before I proceed I would like to acknowledge all those present in the gallery today. I'd like to acknowledge you and the pain that you've been through—something I will never really fully understand. It's a profound day and my heart is with you. To my neighbours in Takanini if this debate is a bit more toned down than usual it's because we're about to enter a very sombre kōrero so it's only fitting.It was really wonderful to be back in my electorate my beautifully eclectic electorate of Takanini in south-east Auckland. Part of the beauty was being able to spend quality time with my fantastic electorate office team Derek Lauren and Simon thank you very much. And I was able to spend uninterrupted time with my darling husband Roger.There were a number of highlights in this recent recess. We kicked off with Matariki celebrations around my electorate including a brunch in the gardens in Manurewa which was hosted by a kaitiaki trust. Anne Kendall has just been made chair of the New Zealand Māori Council and she helps run these trusts that for many years have been celebrating our champions. People like Gary and Nancy Māori wardens have been serving for decades; Piripi and Malcolm who help with Christmas Day lunch at Papakura marae thank you. It was a wonderful event to start off Matariki before going to the Botanic Gardens where there was an extremely fun-filled day all the way to the evening.Another highlight was the opening of Derby Square in Takanini town centre. There's a beautiful cinema there extra eateries and I would like to acknowledge the Wallace family who have done so much and are synonymous with the suburb of Takanini and its growth.Another highlight was sharing with my neighbours in Takanini and beyond the excellent news that Mill Road is on the list of seven roads of national significance and work will begin in three years. An absolute highlight was to have the Hon Nicola Willis grace Takanini over the weekend and spend time particularly at the Takanini Gurdwara run by the excellent work of Daljit Singh and the team there. Minister Willis got to see the Punjabi school that takes place every Saturday where there's an incorporation of cultural studies language speaking as well as learning other aspects of our Māori culture as well. There are right now over 22 Portacoms and the list is growing. Thank you Minister Willis for making time to come out to our gurdwara.Since we're on the subject of education I think it's a perfect segue to the final aspect when I'm listing the highlight of many highlights during my recess in my wonderful electorate of Takanini and that is that the Minister of Education Erica Stanford announced that in Takanini in the suburb of Flat Bush there was the first announcement of three new schools that will be built across the country. I'm proud and I'm honoured that the first one was announced for our electorate of Takanini—a new primary school. This is part of our Government's Budget 2024—a $466 million investment for school property growth.Now this school is going to be located at 121 Murphys Road Flat Bush. That area of Takanini is in fact the second-fastest growing area in the country. The school is going to cater for 600 children from years 1 to 6 and the intended building will be complete by 2026. Construction will begin later this year. This investment is another step that shows how committed our Government is to investing in world-leading education for our tamariki our rangatahi around New Zealand. I'm so blessed that this new school is coming to our electorate. I'm so blessed to be the MP for Takanini and I thank everyone who's helped on this journey. My heart is with you all. Thank you.
