Kanongata'a-Suisuiki Anahila; Rurawhe AdrianANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI (Labour): Kia ora e te Mana Whakawā. May I echo the congratulations from many speakers who have already spoken before me on your selection as the Deputy Speaker. We are honoured that you bring much mana to this role. It would be remiss of me to respond to the speech that has just happened but I think I will just leave that for another time.The question I want to ask really is how did we get here to an MMP environment where the majority of the voters have voted in one particular party? If we ask the question again—how did that happen?—perhaps it is because of its leader the leadership of our Prime Minister the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern. When we talk about being guided by our labour values or our enduring New Zealand values we ask the question: well what are those values? Well actually it is about the values of equality ōritetanga; sustainability kaitiakitanga; opportunity whakaōritetanga; solidarity kotahitanga; and the one I love the most is freedom rangatiratanga—the right to fully participate in a society and to exercise choice about how we live our lives. These values recognise that people can only exercise the freedom when they can fully participate with the freedom in a society that actually supports strong personal social and economic rights for everybody. I want to acknowledge the Prime Minister when she describes our Government as a Government that represents all of New Zealand.Perhaps the voters voted for us because we have a five-point plan and I want to remind the House of the objective of those plans. The objective of anything is knowing why we do what we do and what does that look like? I just want to remind everybody reflecting on the challenging of COVID-19 and the need to tackle New Zealand's long-term issues this Labour Government on this side will have three overarching objectives. Before I get into our objectives I want to acknowledge the many many lives throughout the world who are affected by COVID-19 and that we are in a very privileged position because of the leadership of this Government of Jacinda Ardern and our Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson.Those three objectives are to keep New Zealanders safe from COVID-19 to accelerate our economic recovery and to lay the foundations for a better future. So how do we get there? Keeping New Zealand safe from COVID-19 we have got five-point action plans and the five-point action plan is about investing in our people putting people at the heart of our plan. I can say I have been honoured and privileged to be selected by the Labour Party to be Labour's candidate in Papakura. When I talk about people voting for this Government the Labour Government I want to acknowledge every person in Papakura because I have met people who have said to me It is the first time that I have given my party vote to Labour and it's the first time that I've done that because I believe New Zealand is better off in a Labour Government." I want to remind us of why that is. They remind us that it is about investing in our people and it's about jobs creating jobs not just for today but for our future preparing for our future supporting small businesses and of course positioning us globally.I'm almost running out of time but I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the role that I have been privileged to be voted into by our Pacific caucus. We now have 10 members of Pacific in Labour and I want to thank New Zealand for that. Last night we had an 'ava ceremony which is a Samoan traditional custom of reminding those who have been voted in of their responsibility to the people and I want to congratulate all five including the one first ever member of the Green Party who is Pacific. I want to acknowledge that. New Zealand it's come far and as the chair for the Pacific caucus I am privileged to contribute to the Government's plan. This is a Government that will have every New Zealander's wellbeing in mind. Mālō.DEPUTY SPEAKER: I call Marja Lubeck—five minutes."
