Sosene Lemauga LydiaLEMAUGA LYDIA SOSENE (Labour—Māngere): Thank you Mr Speaker. I was just saying talofa—it's still Samoan Language Week. You've heard our colleagues on this side who have provided a range of views with regards to the Waste Minimisation (Waste Disposal Levy) Amendment Bill. We won't be supporting this bill because whilst we agree on some principles it does broaden the criteria too far. And I was quite lucky just with my colleague Tangi Utikere who also spent some time—over a decade—in local government. And we worked really hard on the ground at that time to look with our communities on these matters of waste minimisation. In my local area for those who are not aware Māngere is one of the communities where we have a number of young people in our community who were very concerned at recent weather events.I have read right through the supplementary analysis report which provides the context of which the Cabinet and the Government have made a number of decisions. One of my concerns and it outlined here is that I've read on page 3 that the analysis and the modelling of this paper that has presented of this legislation was done at pace. That communities have not been consulted. And what it tells me is that the modelling and the impacts have been quite rushed. So I'm very very happy that we get the opportunity to speak right through this process and question at the committee stage.But this bill really affects our lower socio-economic communities and there are some really good initiatives that the previous Government supported not just with the operational side but education. Why do many Kiwis or New Zealanders not utilise this programme under the waste minimisation? And so you've heard the Hon Rachel Brooking in that we do agree on some of the principles but the broadening of the criteria it just goes way too far—too far. One of the things for this community in my local community is that our young rangatahi they want to be involved in waste minimisation programmes. Well the cuts have been too severe that we've heard yesterday. And programmes like Jobs for Nature which were working really well in our local rohe in terms of young rangitahi that were not entering the workforce those young people were entering programmes that were offered by the waste minimisation levy. So it is of real concern that when you are broadening criteria what the Government is proposing for this waste disposal levy that just goes too far. So we bring it back to the context of when you are consulting with communities—those who are responsible for the supplementary analysis report—there is a critical voice that you don't hear from and it's important that communities across Aotearoa when the cutting of some of these programmes have happened and they've happened at pace. How do you know that the problem definition has been identified? How do you know that the solutions that have been put forward under this current bill—those are the right choices that have been made by this Government?So it is important the waste minimisation—the whole programme is really really important because as we've seen climate change is really affecting our communities across Aotearoa. And some communities are well-resourced and others are not. And education under this programme is really really important. So just as I complete my contribution this evening what I want to stress is that there has to be a focus on what suits communities. And the only way you're going to know for these types of programmes is you have to speak to the community whatever they look like. And in local government they need to be supported with the autonomy that as we speak to our young people right across Aotearoa that their voices are involved in some of the opportunities in these programmes they offer because they are the ones that will be standing here in 20 years' time making different decisions because today's Government did not take that opportunity. So I just wanted to point this out and I'm very pleased that I get another opportunity and another opportunity just to raise some questions. So thank you for the opportunity.
