Luxton JoHon JO LUXTON (Minister of Customs): Thank you Madam Speaker. I stand as a proud wahine Māori from a rural electorate to take the third call in this general debate and lift this tone out of gutter politics and talk about some positivity. I would like to talk about the Fieldays. I had a great time at the Fieldays last week—it was really positive spirits were high the sun was shining and we had the pleasure of hearing the announcement that the primary industries exports are set to hit a record high of $56.2 billion by 30 June 2023.We are a proud primary-producing nation punching well above our weight and I want to acknowledge our primary producers who have recently experienced really really tough times with the weather events that we've seen—some last year but mostly this year. I want to acknowledge all of them and everything that they have been going through. Our primary producers have carried us through for the last few years through tough times and I want to acknowledge all of them and thank them for that.I am proud of our primary industries and I want to congratulate them on this record achievement which I note is set to move towards $62 billion by 2027. I am proud of the work that this Government is doing for our primary producers by opening doors for exports wherever we can and build on the seven new or upgraded free-trade agreements secured since we've been in office.The next really positive thing that I would like to talk about that this Government is doing is providing financial support for parents on paid parental leave. Those parents that take the full 26 weeks of paid parental leave are set to have an increase from $661.12 a week to $712.17. We know that the cost pressures of living are hitting our families hard at the moment and anything that we can do as a Government to help support that is really important and valued.When a couple are expecting their first second third whatever baby it might be it's a time of joy. But it's also a time of stress; it is a time of sleeplessness—I know members across the House will know what I am talking about there because we've had recent conversations—Hon David Bennett: They're very good.Hon JO LUXTON: —Mr Bennett about that. So anything that we can do to reduce the pressure and burden on parents is certainly helpful. From mid-2024 parents will also receive a 3 percent Government contribution to their KiwiSaver while on paid parental leave so long as they also continue to contribute. Because we do know that when people are away on paid parental leave traditionally there has been no money going to their KiwiSaver—so therefore depleting their wee nest egg going forward. So I think that that is a really great thing.Another thing that I want to talk about is the simplified path to residency. When I'm out talking to people in my electorate often we hear—particularly from our rural and primary producers—the difficulties that they face in getting skilled migrants given the workforce shortages that we do experience. We are making changes to the Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa as part of the immigration rebalance to help businesses be able to attract skilled migrants. We're going to provide these highly skilled people with a faster route to residency and that ensures that people in families migrating to New Zealand for work—it gives those families stability and certainty knowing that they are going to be able to have a pathway to residency.I want to finish up by talking about the milestone that we reached—and it was really good to reach this milestone yesterday being World Refugee Day—where we celebrated the milestone of resettling 1500 refugees this quota year. We have a really proud history here in New Zealand of helping people whose lives are at risk and are forced to flee their country. I am really proud that my electorate is one of the electorates where refugees can resettle—in Ashburton and Timaru—and we welcome these refugees to New Zealand knowing they make a fantastic contribution to our society. Thank you Madam Speaker.
