Eagle Paul; Rurawhe AdrianPAUL EAGLE (Labour—Rongotai): It must have been my tie again there causing confusion. I do want to just acknowledge the Hon Andrew Little and also Ministers Twyford and Salesa for their work and also just acknowledge—oh he's left—the member for Nelson who obviously needs a new tie needs to have a decent lunch or needs something. But what I wanted to tell him and if he was here what I would be saying is that in his time—I want to just reflect on his track record or the Opposition's track record as landlord for 68000 State homes or social housing" as they rebranded them. A small portion of those are in my electorate.Here we have someone who is saying "Look it's not this it's not that it means diddly-squat." but the reality for me is that when I see the State housing in my electorate I don't see the evidence of a responsible landlord providing healthy homes. So everything he said everything he noted or said was wrong with this bill—all I saw was nine years of nothing. Nine years of nothing. When I visited a Tongan family up there recently and I looked at the respiratory issues of their children who go to hospital and who come back to a damp cold horrible home I thought: where was the previous Government in all those years?What I see instead are sales of State housing to Scots College a decent independent private Presbyterian school in Strathmore. I see homes sold to it. At prize-giving last night it was commented "What a shame that when we purchased these houses"—so here we have State housing for the poor going to the wealthiest school in the city for boarding facilities. They said it was a pity the State housing was so rundown horrible: "No one could live here. We would never put our boys into these facilities." But that's what we saw.What we also see when you go down Strathmore Ave is empty ground. Like there are rugby field - sized plots where State housing used to stand but no longer. You go up on the hill there in Strathmore and there are rows and rows and rows of State housing that is really unsuitable. I know that thanks to this bill and a programme of build work from Minister Twyford what we will see are decent warm dry homes being built. It doesn't matter if it's being called "KiwiBuy" or "KiwiBuild"; the reality is let's get these homes built. Let's build decent homes that deliver for decent Kiwis.I'm hoping that this family who have lived in this house who want to complain but the Housing New Zealand Corporation offices have been mandated with reluctance with not treating people fairly being told by their Minister or Ministers—because this is an Opposition that when in Government didn't have a housing minister for quite some time. But they are the victims of why this bill is needed.I could quote figures I could say a whole range of things but what this really is about is giving people hope. If it means that the private sector follows—I'm not hearing this big ruckus of feedback. My in-box and messaging systems aren't filled by developers—who I know well who are actually really hoping that we get some consistency and some clarity on what they need to do to deliver to the expectations. At the moment it's been confused it's been difficult and it's been interfered with but you won't get that under this bill. You'll get clarity. You'll get some hope delivered to the good people of at least Wellington.So no more ideological bets on this stuff no more desire to sort of run it down and for the Salvation Army to hopefully pick it up and somehow make magic where the State couldn't. What we will see is decent housing. And look this will be a Government that has a track record where these—I think it's 64000 State homes because 4000 have either been transferred out to other mechanisms or other delivery arms which is part of the process—oh I've finished.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): The member's time has expired."
