Parmar ParmjeetDr PARMJEET PARMAR (National): As the National list member of Parliament based in Mount Roskill I want to first acknowledge the outgoing member the Hon Phil Goff and I want to wish him well in his new role. As the National list member of Parliament based in Mount Roskill as I always say one of the most important things for me is supporting families and businesses. I understand communities in Mount Roskill and I know their issues. There are some families that need some special attention there are some children who need special attention and how I see these things is that if these children are doing well now they will have a good future. If they have a good future our country will have a bright future. For me education is the key to success and I know that if our children are doing well in school they will go out to make an impact on this ever-changing world.We want to prepare them to compete in this highly competitive world and that is why I am really happy to see more and more schools in Mount Roskill becoming part of communities of learning. Halsey Drive Primary School and Waikowhai Intermediate School are part of the Lynfield community of learning. We know that Monte Cecilia Catholic School is part of another community of learning. Mount Roskill Grammar School Mount Roskill Primary School Mount Roskill Intermediate School Dominion Road School and Three Kings School have formed the Mount Roskill community of learning.What does this mean for Mount Roskill students? This means that Mount Roskill students will be doing better. We will have better educational achievements for these students in our classrooms because our teachers will be working together and our schools will be working together in a collaborative manner. Students will now be able to benefit from shared practices and expertise which is a great thing. The targeted funding approach that we have for our students is great news because this is to help students—those who are at risk of not achieving in education. We need this targeted approach. We do not want these children to derail. We do not want these children to come in to contact with our justice system. We want them to do well in their life.Talking about the justice system reminds me of the reform that we are doing in the Child Youth and Family system. That is a very important reform. When I am talking to small businesses in Mount Roskill—most of our businesses are small businesses—what I see is that it is our young people targeting these businesses so I am very very confident with the reform that we are doing to the Child Youth and Family system which will reduce our young people from getting into offending. Those people do not want to see these young people getting into any kind of that behaviour. Moreover when I am going around I am getting a huge amount of positive response for GP visits for under 13s being made free and a $25 increase in benefit. That increase that time was not just for families who were dependent on the benefit; it was also for Working for Families so we are helping low-income families. Moreover I am really pleased to see this new $4.2 million that is going through the community funding partnership again to help low-income families. We are very careful where we spend taxpayers' money but when I look at the Opposition members—the Labour members when they were in Government—what did they do in their first term? They were taxing and spending. In their second term again they were taxing and spending. In their third term—again taxing and spending. I believe in respecting taxpayers' hard-earned money.As I said education is the key to success and if I look at their education policy which they announced sitting in Opposition they thought they were being very very creative but we all know that they were just stealing another party's education policy—the party that was rejected in the general election 2014. That was a new party that I can understand had no credibility but Labour has shown that it has no fiscal credibility. Moreover I am really happy to see a huge amount of residential construction activity that is happening around Mount Roskill because that is not just about housing people that is not just about making houses affordable that is not just about helping first-home buyers get into their first homes; that is also about local jobs because that construction activity is creating hundreds of local jobs in Mount Roskill.Mount Roskill is being held back because of the influence of the Opposition—yes Mount Roskill is being held back because of the influence of the Opposition. I am working hard in Mount Roskill with families with businesses with schools and with our young people to help them realise their potential and also to help them benefit from this ever-growing economy under this National Government. Thank you.
