Kuriger BarbaraBARBARA KURIGER (National—Taranaki - King Country): Thank you Madam Assistant Speaker. Relentless positivity: that's the catch cry of the people on the other side of the House and the last speaker Michael Wood got up and said that this was a very positive day for New Zealand. Well actually it's not a very positive day for New Zealand because if you look at all the confidence surveys that have been coming out over recent times the confidence level of New Zealand is going down down down. The reason is that this Government is dreaming. This document is a wish list. Every time they're asked how they're going to do something they come up completely lacking. This document today has completely added to that doubt.Grant Robertson talked before when he got up to speak about it being not just about the numbers on the page—It's about what we can do for people." Well guess what? What you can do for people depends on how well you can develop this plan and the way we read this document is that this plan is not very well developed at all. We can go through 28 points where there are risks. I mean it was mentioned before about conservation—significantly increasing the Department of Conservation funding—but the exact quantum of this money is as of yet unknown.Then we look at the Healthy Homes Guarantee Act. Now I know that up until this point this Government has largely been doing the previous National Government's legislation but this one here was actually the Healthy Homes Guarantee Bill (No 2). It was a member's bill of one of their members and even when you read around this today it talks about up to $2000 per dwelling to pay for up to 50 percent of the cost of insulation upgrades double glazing etc. to meet the building code and yet further work's going to be required to determine the scope of the policy. So even on bills that were currently before the House that have now made up part of this current Government's focus—Brett Hudson: The missing billions.BARBARA KURIGER: Yeah. So again it's going to depend on what this Government decides it can finally afford when it actually gets its total numbers together. There is no plan here.Then again we talk about 1800 new police officers. It talks in here about the extent that this is not able to be funded within baselines—that new funding will be required. And guess what? It depends on the focus on community prevention. It depends on a greater use of alternative resolution and a reduction in remand prisoners. It all depends. Everything depends.Then we go to this Regional Development (Provincial Growth) Fund. Now this one intrigues me because we keep talking about the billion-dollar growth fund. Well it keeps remaining a billion-dollar question—very similar to the trees—because the scope of such a fund has not yet been designed. So it talks about "small-scale" "mid-scale" "large-scale" "large infrastructure investments"—I've got communities out there all over the place asking "How's this going to work? How do we apply? What are we going to get?" Oh sorry the scope has not yet been developed. There's a fund there but I have got no idea as yet because the Government has not yet told us how you are going to be able to apply for it. So then again it's another wish list another dream something that's extremely poorly thought-out.Then the Government has committed to increased funding for primary care services and that's really important out in our regions because we can't all live next to a big hospital. So they're going to increase the funding. This document talks about funding extra places to train GPs and it talks about free health checks but the implementation details and funding arrangements for all of these commitments are still yet to be finalised.Everything we read as we go through this document—all of these risks—exactly lines up with all of the questions we've been asking for the last—how many was it Grant Robertson? Forty-three days? We are still asking questions and obviously the answers are going to be very slow.So all of the promises this Government has made depend on its ability to do the maths make the plans and fund the proposals and the dreams that are on its wish list. It depends. Thank you."
