Andersen GinnyGINNY ANDERSEN (Labour): Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. Look I always looked up to my elders and my grandfather was one who I always used to listen to. He was a tough old guy. He was Irish he was Catholic and he was a truck driver. The one thing I always remember him saying was If you're going to do a job you should do it properly." and I've always stood by those words myself. He took pride in his work and there was one thing that he hated more than a shoddy job and that was a job that looks kind of OK from the outside but when you lift the lid it's rubbish. That's exactly what the National Party has done to New Zealand for nine years and that is exactly what this Government has been repairing. And let's have a wee look. Let's have a compare and contrast over some areas to see what's been going on because what happened for nine years was we saw spin and buff and shine but the real grunt the real building of giving New Zealand what it needs was ignored.Housing: in Hutt South where I reside we saw houses torn down vacant land and people homeless. We saw people kicked out of their houses for earthquake reasons and vacant land for six years. That vacant land is now being rebuilt on and all we can hear is moans from the other side of the House—rebuilding on vacant land that has lain vacant for eight or nine years.Mental health: mental health in areas where people were ignored and put on waiting lists. We are now looking into how we rebuild that with a full mental health inquiry and pilots like we announced just yesterday in Porirua for young people aged 18 to 24.Meth testing: that's a pearler that one—making up stuff that didn't even have a real meth-testing standard which caused real issue. We're having research having a real basis to look at what's happening and establishing a meth-testing standard that actually works.Paying people what they're worth—that's a good one. Front-line services have been worked to breaking point whether it be teachers police doctors nurses or the midwives here today. All of those services have been relied upon for their goodwill and have had to work overtime without being paid. This Government has had a long job and still much to go in advance to put that right and reinvest in those front-line services.The schools in which those teachers work and those students learn every day have been left leaking—left leaking and rundown year after year. I only have to turn again to my own patch in Wainuiōmata where just last year we had the Prime Minister announce a complete rebuild of Wainuiōmata High School for $24 million. Kids in those areas had been going to a school which had leaked for well over a decade and had been left in disrepair and what we see is that being rebuilt.All through that we see families and New Zealanders with more money in their pocket on an average basis—another 75 bucks in the pocket for over 385000 families. More money in their pocket and more money in the local economy we see because people can buy with that extra money.We see making front-line services more responsive. I think the reason why New Zealanders are so pleased with this Government is because they can see the benefits of doing a job properly. They can see the benefits and the real examples of people being able to be put into homes instead of being fobbed off into motels—of being able to give people the services and the responses they need. All we hear from the other side is a complaint that we're not fixing their mess quick enough and that's what I find difficult—not happening quick enough.I believe that it is the Kiwi way to do a job properly and that is why I am proud to be part of a Government that is doing exactly that from building to reinvesting to looking after people and to governing with a heart. That is why I am proud to be part of this Government. Thank you."
