Parmar ParmjeetDr PARMJEET PARMAR (National): As always investment in the social services and housing sector is a huge commitment of this National Government. Talking about social services that is why we have committed $652 million in Budget 2016 to help New Zealanders in need. It is a significant amount a $652 million package over 4 years. This package includes $200 million for new services for young people and children. It includes $50 million for helping people get into work including people with complex health needs. It includes $43 million to help 150000 students who are at risk of educational failure. It also includes $36 million to make houses safer warmer and healthier. The social investment approach that we in this Government have is working really well for us. We are seeing the lives of low-income New Zealanders improving because of our social investment approach. That is why Budget 2016 is committed to our social investment approach and it is also providing for meeting the demand for increasing social services that are required to fulfil the demand of the population that we have. We have also seen that with our social investment approach the number of people relying on benefits—that number is going down. Actually that number has gone down significantly and as a result that has reduced the long-term welfare system's fiscal cost for current and future taxpayers by $12 billion—yes $12 billion. That is why our current and future taxpayers are going to be grateful to this National Government for making that saving for taxpayers. As a result we have fewer children in benefit-dependent families because these people are in training or in employment and they have a new way of life because of our social investment approach. Talking about benefits it is this National Government that gave a benefit increase of $25. This is the first time in 43 years. We are also reforming the Child Youth and Family system because we know that the current system is not working for us. The current system is not giving us the results that are desired from the Child Youth and Family system. As Minister Anne Tolley keeps saying we want a system that is focused on children. It is about providing the right kind of interventions. It is about providing the right kind of support during the transition process and seeing that these young people do not get into fields that we do not want them to get into. We want to see them doing well in their lives. This National Government is committed to people and we want to see people doing their best in life. We are also setting up the first register for child sex offenders. This is a huge commitment of this National Government to protect our young people from sex offenders. And yes this is not going to be publicly available; it will be available only to authorised police and corrections staff. It will be available to third parties only if they are appropriate. With a targeted approach we have seen positive results. That is why we have just passed legislation to invest $61 million to extend youth services to 19-year-old beneficiaries with children and 18 and 19-year-old beneficiaries without children who are considered to be at significant risk of long-term welfare dependency. We have committed $41 million for emergency housing and this is the first time a Government has committed to emergency housing. This is $41 million for 3000 places for a year. This is going to help people get into emergency housing when they need it. This will be done through non-Government organisations and it is expected that the first contract will be in place from September this year. This is also for providing emergency housing special-needs grants for individuals and families to cover their temporary housing costs. Looking at emergency housing that area is well covered. We are also making houses safer warmer and healthier. For that we have already introduced new minimum standards for insulation and smoke alarms. Minister Nick Smith already spoke about the advantages of having smoke alarms and the case we have seen where it has already saved lives. That is already showing us results. That has already kicked in. From 1 July all residential rental properties are required to have an operational smoke alarm. The insulation requirements are going to kick in from 1 July—
