Logie JanJAN LOGIE (Green): Thank you Madam Speaker. It's with a sense of gratitude really that I stand to speak in response to the Prime Minister's speech about this Government's commitment to wellbeing and dealing with the really enduring underlying problems in this country that have not been given the attention that they desperately need for so many years. In my contribution I would like to focus on our work around family and sexual violence because that is something that from outside in the community many years ago I spent many years working for reform on and it is such a privilege to be part of bringing those changes into reality in the community. We do know in this Government and acknowledge that addressing family and sexual violence is one of our best chances we have as a country to improve wellbeing and we're dealing with it. We've put it right up front on our agenda and this has benefits to all of us in this country. I just want to take a moment to make this real for everyone in the House and people who may be listening as I go through some of the news headlines that we've had just in two months this year in this area where a former scout leader was convicted of sexually abusing five boys over 40 years. A disgraced Rātana Church minister was jailed for predatory repeated child abuse. A judge threw out the appeal of an Otago man who savagely beat his partner and revived her to continue the abuse. Two were dead in a firearms incident in Castle Point. Family violence charges were dropped against a prominent medical professional when he was given diversion. A Christchurch man drove into oncoming traffic and admitted a raft of charges including abuse of his partner. In Papatoetoe—an Auckland family tragedy where there was a slain mother who had a protection order in place and her violent estranged husband is now facing jail. A man spent hours in a car with a woman's body after he had murdered her. One of the most controlling men a judge had seen was sentenced to home detention in Balclutha. And sleep with one eye open—jail for a man who threatened a former girlfriend. A man shot at a school because he was angry when his daughter wouldn't go with him. A four-year-old child is in Starship Hospital from a family harm event. A sexual groomer told an undercover cop that age is only a number. A young autistic man was a victim of repeated sexual assaults under a disability support service. A high-profile sports star is currently in court for intimate partner violence. A New Zealander was jailed in Singapore for an attack on their girlfriend. A Rotorua father was charged with the murder of a five-year-old son. A Tauranga woman is dead as a result of a domestic incident. A woman was convicted of manslaughter after years of experiencing domestic violence. A man was sentenced for kicking his partner's dog to death. And a man was jailed for chasing his girlfriend with a chainsaw. In just two months these are the stories that made it through into headlines in our media and yet the research tells us that police are called out to incidents of family harm every four minutes in this country. These headlines are just the tip of the iceberg of the trauma being experienced on a daily basis in our country. We have to act and if we act we can change this. That is why within just such a short period in this Government we have created a whole-of-Government response to bring Police Courts Health Education and other agencies together. We've passed three pieces of legislation including world-first legislation for leave. We've introduced sexual violence legislation to reduce retraumatisation committed unprecedented funding in our Budget towards front-line services we're looking at prevention and rehabilitation properly for the first time ever we've taken sexual harassment seriously as a workplace and safety issue and building the data and reviewing the destructive Family Court reforms that prioritised saving money over the safety of women and children in this country. This is work for all of us and if we are to take wellbeing seriously this work is at the heart of our future.
