O'Connor GregGREG O'CONNOR (Labour—Ōhāriu): I quite often get the privilege of following that previous speaker David Seymour and I always call it leading with your jaw"; it's right out there just ready to be—he started with this vision of flying around Cook Strait in the fog trying to land and just the analogy of his own party flying around for years looking for somewhere. I think there's a little airport provided in a place called Epsom I believe where they're able to land their little planes and take off from but I'm not—I just couldn't help but think "What a shame he wasn't on a Virgin Atlantic flight at the time." owned of course by Mr Branson. He may have while he was reading picked up one of the flight magazines and got some words of inspiration from that man who has actually looked at this Budget and has said "Wow!" This is the man a household name a man who's taken his industry his airline his record companies and many others around the world. He's looked at this—he's been highly successful—and he has said "This is actually what success should look like."I had a bit of a lightbulb moment when I was in the Budget lock-up. I have said previously—a bit of a sad life—that I've read the last 21 Budgets. With this one I was expecting to go to the appropriations to work out where the money was and it was a lightbulb moment when I read that it says actually you start off by working out what it is you want to achieve. It's about yes you need the economy; yes you need jobs; yes you need to ensure you have the money to achieve things—and I'll talk shortly about how we're going to achieve that as well—but most importantly were just the words at the start: "When people are able to lead fulfilling lives with purpose balance and meaning to them it means improving the state of our environment the strength of our communities and performance of our economy."Well again I'll allude to the previous speaker. Those economies we came from or sort of economies—we have all come from other parts whether it was the Pacific 800 years ago or more recently from the Middle East more recently from Europe—we all came away from countries where we just didn't get the opportunity because they were so unfair because the wealth was locked in at the top because all the power was locked in at the top. So what our ancestors did—those ancestors the previous speaker spoke of—they did come to New Zealand they did come with an expectation of being able to use their skills to develop their skills and that's what this Budget's about. It's about making sure that it isn't only the immigrants. And I think in my own electorate in Ōhāriu we are blessed with some very highly talented immigrants; people who I can see as I stand in the market on a Sunday are contributing greatly because that's what immigrants do because people come—they've escaped from that.However we've got to actually recreate those immigrants those people because then I look around the main streets. If you look around any shopping centre in New Zealand you'll see those same people that need to migrate. They need to migrate not physically; they need to migrate into our economy and that's what this Budget is about. It's about making sure those internally in New Zealand get the same opportunities get the same inspiration. As I go through what we're trying to achieve there with even the education in there apart from fulfilling the venture capital gap again a very important part of it is that as we build those industries we make sure the capital is there.But more importantly we go to actually what we're going to achieve in education: bringing people out of the schools making sure they're work ready and life ready. That's what it will do because that will enable—I can use that analogy again—them to migrate to be part of New Zealand society not to have to work three jobs and still be part of the working poor. Because if you're doing that you actually can't partake in those good things about New Zealand; those good things that visitors to New Zealand see those good things that actually those who come here and are able to get on to the "working train"—get on to mainstream in New Zealand which is most immigrants—are able to do as we were all able to when we got here. This Budget if I can use the analogy is about ensuring that those people are able to migrate on to the mainstream in New Zealand so they can produce so they can be part of a productive New Zealand society. If I can finish in the time left to me just today the Opposition—they're sitting here saying "This is such a bad Budget." What have they done? They've obfuscated. They've sat there and tried to distract. The first two questions on Budget day—you know they were from the Leader of the Opposition. I liken his performance over this to—let's just say that he had a gold nugget in his hand which was what he discovered. He could have done two things. He could have gone on the booze. He could have gone down the pub thrown it on the bar and had a great binge. Or he could have thought "I've got a gold nugget here. If I spend this right I could own the pub." What has he done? What have he and his colleagues done? They've gone on the binge. They've had a binge and—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): Order! The member's time has expired. I call Raymond Huo—five minutes."
