Lee DeniseDENISE LEE (National—Maungakiekie): I'm still a new MP but from watching the last Government I was under the impression that you need focused action to get results around here—the kind that would take you out of a global financial crisis at an internationally acclaimed rate. Ten thousand jobs a month for the last 18 months—a promise? No actually more than a promise; it was a policy. Actually it was a plan; an active live plan live right now to give back $1000 to workers on 1 April. That particular plan is live and it's for the average wage worker—a figure to the tune of $60000 that perhaps Mr Willie Jackson should take note of. There's nothing more fundamental than a Government that can set and communicate their plan. Another way of saying that is certainty. We need certainty in this country for our residents for schools for families—they require that.Now there are some things that we do know in this first term here so far—just the few weeks that we've been sitting here in the House. One is that we've debated legislation and it's been National's legislation—largely procedural but National's legislation none the less.But what is it that we do not know? Back to the topic of certainty—what is it that we do not know? How the Regional Development (Provincial Growth) Fund will play out. Is it a billion trees or half a billion trees? We do not know where the health sector is going. Why is it that in your 100-day list there are only two things that relate to health: an inquiry and medicinal cannabis? What about the rest of it? What about police funding? Where's that coming from?And details in transport—let's spend a little bit of time on that. We don't know the details of transport projects all over this country. In question time one by one my colleagues have stood up and referred to projects that they do not know about in the Waikato in Hawke's Bay in Southland. And in my own area the East-West transport link—a very very big project. I'm not sure the Minister understands the problem that that is trying to solve.The Onehunga industrial area—the Penrose industrial area included—is the largest industrial area in this country and every day trucks to the tune of 8000 go along both the Church Street and Neilson Street thoroughfares. The plan is to take trucks off suburban roads and alleviate congestion thereby helping out intrinsically our economy in this country.We don't know what's going to replace that. Where is the certainty? Is it the $750 million version that was announced by a couple of candidates during Labour's campaign for which I cannot find any written record today? We've had three years of planning on that—construction time and boards of inquiry to the tune of $50 million. Well now it appears we're going back to a $50 million drawing board. We're forcing business owners to once again face uncertainty.How about education? Reports are coming out tomorrow Friday. I was once a school board chair. I know very well this time of the year. What is it that we will be faced with? What is it that we will understand is replacing national standards? One of the members across the way said that national standards will be gone by Christmas. How about we know by Christmas what's going to replace national standards? We need certainty in this area.We need certainty in building projects. Are we going to oppose building projects just on an ideological position of opposing public-private partnerships? And how's this for certainty—or should I say irony? The Minister of Education said in relation to national standards if you force rushed change on to the education sector with little … consultation you get an inferior product and students will bear the brunt". Did he not see how fast they ran through their major tertiary policy without consulting the sector?It seems one thing is certain here in an uncertain world and that is our party polling numbers are going up. We have and still have public support. We provided certainty before and we will do it again. The public have confidence in us even in Opposition."
