Yule LawrenceLAWRENCE YULE (National—Tukituki): Mr Speaker it's with pleasure that I rise to speak to the Prime Minister's statement because it's not that long ago that a slogan went across New Zealand and on the basis that we had a new leader of the New Zealand Labour Party there was a slogan that said Let's do this." And nearly three years on you stand back and I look at it and I say "Do what? What has been done and when?" There is lots of optimism from the new Government—lots of promises. And my colleague Andrew Falloon has explained that the greatest failure so far in many ways is that 100000 houses were promised in 10 years—that's 10000 a year. In the first two years 450 have been built. Nobody can say that is even close to the expectation and the thinking that was offered.I give that example Mr Speaker and for members of the other side because I want to give some figures on my own patch in Hawke's Bay. When this Government came into power there were 163 people on the waiting list for houses in Hastings—163. The numbers for Hastings were released yesterday. They are now 484—three times the number of people on the housing waiting list than there was in 2017. In Napier the number was 193 in 2017. It is now 509. It is a disgrace. So much was promised and so little has been delivered. In that same time in Hastings despite there being two hectares of vacant Housing New Zealand land the net housing stock in Hastings has lifted by nine houses—nine houses in two years. The number of people in motels has gone from 163 to 484 and the Government despite having two hectares of vacant land has built nine houses. In Napier they built 46 houses so that's a better effort—something to do with the member being a Cabinet Minister I expect—but still there are now 509 people living in motels.I then come on to the infrastructure announcement: "Let's do something." It was "Let's do this"; now it's "Let's do something." And the "do something" was we'll borrow $12 billion because interest rates are low and we'll announce a whole lot of things. Well guess what: not a single cent of that $12 billion has been allocated to Hawke's Bay or my electorate. Not a cent—not a cent. So when you go and talk to people about the big infrastructure announcement now they simply say "We've been completely bypassed." Shane Jones would talk about if he was here the Napier to Wairoa rail link and the Hon Meka Whaitiri and I we went on that train. Well guess what. It's had three runs since it's been started—three runs; three loads of timber from Wairoa to Napier. Nothing more. Five million dollars of Government funding and it's had three trains since Shane Jones walked up and down the aisles last year saying how wonderful it's going to be.In concluding in my last minute I have to talk about crime in Hawke's Bay. We have had three major gang incidents in the last two months in Napier which is the hometown of the Minister of Police. Two have involved shotguns one through the Napier medical centre. Another involved a shooting outside a restaurant and a couple of weekends ago there was an attack with a baseball bat. We then had a 12-year-old girl write to the local paper saying that she had witnessed after a tangi gang members riding straight through the middle of red lights and asked the Minister what he would do about it. Nothing to my knowledge has been done despite the Minister saying it'll be followed up. And yesterday I read this notice in the Napier news: "Well done Napier police. A 20-year-old girl gets chased into a property by a large male and punched in the face resulting in a broken bloody nose with witnesses. Four 111 calls and police are unable to attend.""
