Chen Naisi; Rurawhe AdrianNAISI CHEN (Labour): Thank you Mr Speaker. Happy free-trade agreement (FTA) day; this is the day that our New Zealand - United Kingdom free-trade agreement comes into effect. And I'm so proud of all the effort that this Government has put into securing eight—eight—FTAs either upgrades or brand new FTAs. Today is with the UK and we've signed it with the EU we've upgraded it with China we've done the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership—we've done so much more to make sure we grow the pie. Trade for New Zealand is a crucial lifeline and we've seen it support our economy through the toughest times in COVID. In fact our exporting volume has grown during COVID. I know that our wine industry hit an actual historic record; I think it's all the people drinking wine in lockdown. So good on you and good on the industry but I'm also extremely proud of all of our public servants for negotiating that deal. This is why I begin my speech about the Budget on this because this Budget is about making sure we grow the economy in the toughest of times. I am particularly proud of the support we've given to our digital sector—20 percent rebate for our game development sector. How amazing is that? That is an industry that we know are high skill but also high wages—making sure that we keep these talents especially a lot of young talent on our shores growing our economy and once again that is also an export sector. It's what we call a weightless export. So with the Government's investment into that sector we know that we'll be able to expand our range of exporting goods as well.But one thing that I'm actually really really proud of is also our support into the digital sector. In fact the night before the Budget got announced I was in the Beehive theatrette hosting a Diplosphere talk about artificial intelligence (AI) or AGI—artificial general intelligence. One of the things that all the industry leaders were talking about specifically was that New Zealand needed to ramp up our skills our labour workforce in the digital space and make sure that they had the right skill set to face a day and an age where AI is now evolving rapidly. Well guess what? The next day we announce another $25 million. It's almost as if they'd read it; another $25 million for our digital sector making sure that we've supported the development of an apprentice-like pilot programme which will include part-payments for trainee wages employer support and guidance and will also cover set-up costs for trainees. That all comes under the Digital Technologies Industry Transformation Plan. But also we've invested into the agricultural; we've also invested into lots and lots of other places where we can actually grow the industry. We've invested into our research units to make sure that our science and research stays onshore where there's hubs—that they can communicate ideas and actually grow that seedling into full maturity when it becomes full business plans when it becomes an industry and the New Zealand economy actually reaps the full benefit of that investment. I also know that for us to grow the economy we have to be able to look after everyone. That's why I'm particularly proud of the fact that we're now funding two-year-olds to go into early childhood education training. When our workforce becomes very tight as we are right now we need to make sure that everyone including every single mother unlocks their potential as well. So by being able to support our young mothers into work I know that this is going to not only help each family meet the cost of living payments but also it's going to make sure that we unlock the full potential in our economy as well. But it's also making sure we look after the most vulnerable in our economy as well. It's those elderly; it's those who are paying that $5 prescription fee. There is no reason why we should ever cancel that. It's making sure that we look after the most vulnerable; it's about investing so that they don't come back into the emergency department sicker. It's making sure that they are able to live healthy and productive lives. There is so much in this Budget that is support for today and investment for tomorrow and making sure that we really support the industries that will take the New Zealand economy into the long term. So I'm going to end where I started: happy UK FTA. This is such a great day for all of us and I look forward to seeing more FTAs come into force and New Zealand and our produce going right across the world selling at the price they should.SPEAKER: Order!
