Bishop Chris; Brownlee GerryHon CHRIS BISHOP (Minister of Housing): I think you might mean Mr Bishop" Mr Speaker. It has been 100 days of action on this side of the House compared to 100 days of invisibility for the Opposition and we've just seen the duelling competing "Leaders of the Opposition" go toe to toe on the first and second speech. The newly elected leader of the Green Party Chlöe Swarbrick against the so-called Leader of the Opposition Chris Hipkins and soon enough the next "Leader of the Opposition" the Hon Kieran McAnulty will be up in the second slot in the general debate for the Labour Party. I actually reckon Chlöe outdid Mr Hipkins and that doesn't speak well about his prospects. A hundred days of invisibility for them and a hundred days of action for this Government.There's been some criticism from some commentators who should know better—about the speed with which the Government has moved to do things. At the election New Zealanders had a choice. They had a choice about whether or not they wanted three more years of endless drift and malaise. The three more years of talking about kindness. Three more years of kumbaya and mush as the Prime Minister puts it. Three more years of good intentions as a substitute for good public policy. What we learnt over the last six years is it's all very well to talk about kindness it's all very well to talk about the things you want to do about child poverty and making New Zealand better; actually what matters is good public policy and action and moving with a sense of purpose and speed. That's what this Government has done in the first 100 days.We repealed the Auckland regional fuel tax We killed Let's Get Wellington Moving which delivered a set of traffic lights on Cobham Drive and nothing else. We got rid of three waters and we're going to implement a proper Local Water Done Well policy. We introduced legislation to ban gang patches and crackdown on gangs that are causing mayhem. We've banned cellphones in schools. The Opposition said during the election campaign "Oh that can already be done" and also at the same time "That would be a disaster. How will this possibly be enforced?"—blah-blah. Actually we did it really quickly and it's working remarkably well. We've introduced an hour a day of reading writing and maths in the classroom. We've set up new health targets. And we have moved to establish a one-stop shop fast-track consenting regime to actually build things in New Zealand—the infrastructure that we need. There are 49 actions—we accomplished every single one of them in those first 100 days.The feedback we are getting—across the coalition from ACT through to National through to New Zealand First—from the public is that finally people are glad we have a Government with a sense of purpose a clear sense of direction that has sought a mandate from the New Zealand people and is working to implement that mandate at pace.Something else we sought a mandate for was in relation to Kāinga Ora. Now there would not be a member of this Parliament either electorate or list member of Parliament who over the last few years has not been confronted with horrifying stories about the unruly behaviour of some—I emphasise "some"—Kāinga Ora tenants in properties around New Zealand. You only need to Google "Kāinga Ora tenants disruptive behaviour" or "antisocial behaviour" to hear some of the horror stories out there and I have a list which in the interest of time I won't read out to the House but every member of this House knows that there are gang members causing mayhem in Kāinga Ora properties there are people who are engaged in acts of violence intimidation and harassment. The stories are shocking and those people are breaking their social contract to New Zealanders.New Zealanders quite rightly say there's a really important role for State housing and social housing in New Zealand. People fall on hard times people are in vulnerable circumstances not everyone earns enough money for the private rental market—that's why we have State housing. But what they also say is if you're going to pay 25 percent of your income in rent with a taxpayer subsidy which the vast bulk of people do in Kāinga Ora properties—they say "Actually you know what you have obligations. Your obligations are to be good tenants and be good neighbours." The last Government's policy of basically walking away and making sure that no one could ever be evicted from a State house caused mayhem. We've said that enough is enough. It's time to go back to consequences bring back the social contract and make sure that people can be evicted if they break that social contract and they're bad tenants. I think this will work. This Government is getting on with things and making sure we deliver for the New Zealand people. SPEAKER: Is someone—are you going to take a call?Mark Cameron: Well I'll take a call if no one else will. SPEAKER: In that case I call Mark Cameron."
