Mahuta NanaiaHon NANAIA MAHUTA (Minister of Foreign Affairs): The doom and gloom and woe of those people on that side of the House just would make you think that the sun isn't shining but go the Black Ferns. They won the Rugby World Cup and communities big and small families of all types women and girls saw in the Black Ferns the type of New Zealand that we want for the future. They reflect the true spirit of who New Zealand is becoming—a small and proud nation bold confident ambitious unafraid to pursue and reflect its true potential. But then there's Ruby Tui and didn't she exemplify the New Zealand that we are becoming when she called everyone from across the stadium in a rousing raucous roar to sing Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi". Let's all come together to make this New Zealand the country we all believe in the country we are becoming because so many good things are happening. Through our efforts combined on the sports field in our communities through an active Government we are a different New Zealand than the one that those members on that side of the bench would have us believe. Why? Because the Government are seeking solutions in the hardest of times—COVID a global pandemic but what did we do? We put people first and then we knew that by putting people first we would secure a resilient economy when it came time to focus on economic recovery. Then there's conflict and crisis in another part of the world having a significant impact on inflation in New Zealand supply chains the ability to make things happen. This Government didn't sit back and say "Oh no it's all too hard." We leaned in and said "We will not take an austerity approach. We will support businesses when they need it. We will support families when they need it. We will support those on low incomes when they need it." Because if we do not then we are being irresponsible and that is not the pathway of this Government.And then there's climate change. At a time when many members on that side of the House would say "Oh no—oh no don't do anything in the climate change space." we know that moving to a low-carbon economy is a must and a necessity at this time. We're working with international partners on a global response to this most significant challenge the existential challenge in the Pacific because we know that it must happen so that our kids their kids can secure a future that will secure them a longevity at a time when our environment is under threat.This is not a Government that leans back at a time when we need leadership. We are lucky to have a leader in the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern who is engaging with the world as we speak saying that New Zealand may be small but just like the Black Ferns we believe in ourselves. We will present ourselves to the world on the most difficult of issues at a time when we still need to secure support from many many partners opening up our trade avenues ensuring that we are standing for those values that represent the very best of who New Zealand is—optimistic forward looking ensuring that we have an economic resilience that will build itself based on our investment in our people and what we take to market in our differentiation. We're confident about that. But no you get voices from that side of the House that are doom and gloom no solutions kicking the can down the road.I'm so proud about many of the announcements that we've made just recently: unbundling the resource management system in a way that we can underpin growth throughout our region; making sure that we have cheaper faster better resource management law to ensure that we can build houses homes for people ensuring that the regions will continue to grow; ensuring that we can work with all stakeholders—business industry and our communities—to underpin what is essential to their growth. That's what unbundling the resource management system will deliver. This is a Government that leans forward in the hardest of times not back saying "Oh it's everybody else's problem." which is what members on that side of the House are saying. Because it's too hard they kick hard issues down the road they kick the things that matter most to people. They're going to give tax cuts to the rich rather than supporting those families who need it most at a time when we need responsible Government with ideas and solutions that are going to continue to lean forward and lead just like the Black Ferns did."
