Bayly AndrewANDREW BAYLY (National—Hunua): What exciting times we live in. We have got a country that is growing at 3 percent and do you know what the Reserve Bank projected that it is going to continue to grow at 3 percent for each of the next 4 years. We have got 130000 jobs created last year. Again Treasury projects that we are going to have 150000 new jobs coming on stream over the next few years. We have got low inflation we have got real wage growth—2.1 percent last year—and we have got a much more diversified economy. It is nice and you have all heard us talking about the growth in the tourism sector the ICT sector wine—they just keep going on and that is the good thing about the New Zealand economy and the hard-working business people and their employees. And we have got another large surplus building on that $1.8 billion surplus last year.So what does this all mean? Well what it means for everyone is increased job security—well for most; except for us here in Parliament. Second there are more opportunities for graduates coming out of our tertiary institutes and also for the 50000 people going through the apprenticeship schemes in New Zealand. There is more money in the pockets of families and there is more available for spending on things like policing infrastructure health and education.Brett Hudson: Great country.ANDREW BAYLY: That is what makes it a great country as I have just heard from my colleague here. That is why people want to come and live here. That is why New Zealanders want to return to this country.Now today I want to focus on just a couple of areas. First of all: policing. I want to go back to that great announcement that the Hon Paula Bennett made: $503 million to be spent over the next 4 years to get 880 new sworn officers in place plus an additional 245 people who will focus on solving crime like forensic scientists—the right sorts of people who are going to help reduce our crime rate even more.Secondly: infrastructure. We just heard the recent announcement of $11 billion more on infrastructure. Can I ask do you know what we expect now to spend over the next 4 years? It is $23 billion worth of new infrastructure spend—$23 billion—roughly about $5 billion a year. And what is that going to be spent on? Roads rail hospitals schools—the list goes on. Just in my electorate I am really happy that we are going to see the completion of the triple-lane motorway down to Papakura and the start of the rail electrification from Papakura to Pukekohe. We are going to see safety improvements on State Highway 22 between Drury and Pukekohe. These are examples of where things are happening and I am hoping for more. I have got new schools. Ormiston Junior College just opened at the beginning of this year. We have doubled the expansion round Ormiston Primary School and virtually every school I have been through in my electorate—and I have got 38 of them—has had some upgrade to some extent whether it is a new classroom or whatever.Now: health. Dr Coleman made that recent announcement of the extra $59 million to go into the ambulance services and I think that is a great thing. It is about the double-crewing of our ambulances as they do their great work. Only just on Monday night I was meeting my Franklin team—I know they do a great job—and they said to me that that announcement is fantastic because in places like Waiuku they will now be having the ambulances that are based there double-crewed with professional staff. I think that is great.Conservation: as I asked that indefatigable Minister Hon Maggie Barry earlier in question time—and she is sitting right in front of me—what an outstanding achievement in terms of getting that extra $76 million to build on the Department of Conservation's tourism and also the Great Walks. I think those are great things. That is what tourists come to New Zealand for and here is some real money going into it. I cannot believe that she continues to get so much money for conservation—all the money that is going to go into the Battle for our Birds and the War on Weeds; all those sorts of things. I am lucky enough to have the kōkako in my Hunua Ranges. They are great and these are the types of things that support them.Last of all the really exciting thing is that we have got even more to come tomorrow with the Budget and I am really looking forward to it.
