Mitchell MarkHon MARK MITCHELL (National—Whangaparāoa): Thank you Mr Speaker. Thank you for the opportunity to be able to get up and speak as the member of Parliament for Whangaparāoa and the proud member of Parliament for my electorate.I want to raise several issues. The first one is the Pūhoi to Warkworth road of national significance that I fought hard for as the local member. It was started under a National Government whilst the Labour Government the whole time referred to it as the holiday highway and stood in firm opposition to it. Why is that road not open? The road should be open now. It was open temporarily when we had the weather events and the flooding because it was a safety issue when we had people trapped in Northland. The best thing that we can do for the people of Northland is to open that road and it's better for the economy and it's safer. So I want to know why this Labour Government hasn't already got that road open. It should be open; one that they stood against. Kāinga Ora Housing New Zealand the wrecking ball—I want to support Housing New Zealand Kāinga Ora because actually they've got a very important job and an important role to make sure that we can provide the housing that we all want to for Kiwis in New Zealand. But Kāinga Ora are a wrecking ball through communities at the moment. I've had two incidents in the last 12 months. One in Weir Lane where Housing New Zealand came in and decided it was good to put Mongrel Mob associates in there. People felt like they were under siege in their own homes. It impacted the retailers and it had a massive negative effect on the community. Then they came into Bonair and they decide that it's a good idea to come in and buy a piece of land where they're going to deliver 37 social houses and try to avoid consulting with the community. So we had to get involved in that. That's been stopped thankfully. But Kāinga Ora are showing their true colours by actually not just forgetting to consult with the community but actually trying to purposely avoid that consultation.And then we've got crime. In the last four years we've seen the Hells Angels move into and buy commercial property in Silverdale and set up a pad. We've had aggravated robberies. We've had ram raids. I had a meeting organised by Destination Orewa and Hellen Wilkins our business association two weeks ago with our Police Area Commander Matt Laurenson. He was surprised to hear the feedback around the frustration on the 105 line the fact now that there's underreporting with retail crime because it's happening so regularly. I had the manager of the Whangaparāoa Mall call me two days ago saying that he'd just handed in his resignation. We had the 55-year-old trolley boy out of New World there that was threatened with a knife by juvenile offenders. He said he can't deal with it any more. I have a public meeting next week in my patch because we've had so much—we've had assaults and intimidation and disorder at the Silverdale bus station. We had the weather events where we learnt very quickly that we couldn't rely on either central government or the council to actually have a proper response for us. I want to acknowledge Roger Small our Acting Area Police Commander. I want to acknowledge Matt Laurenson the Acting District Police Commander. I want to acknowledge Shaun Pilgrim and Don McErlich our local police chiefs Andy Everiss from St John's and Faron Turner from Surf Life Saving who all came together. We came together and we recognised very quickly that we had to go to a local response to those weather events and that's what we did. We set up a local command and control centre at the Silverdale Fire Station. St John's brought in their mobile command and control centre and we pre-positioned inflatable rescue boats and surf lifesaving assets up there which meant that we had the right people at the right time in the right place. And it worked. But we had to take it back to a local response. I want to talk about Penlink. I was a young 17-year-old shepherd working on Whiti station when the first stake went in the ground for Penlink. And this Government who has come out and made the announcement that they are going to build it—it still hasn't started. Two lanes! Two lanes is not acceptable. It has to be a four-lane Penlink. It is ridiculous. Anyone that understands and knows the area would know that it has to be four lanes and it's just cutting corners. Nothing has happened. Nothing has been delivered. It's frustrating for me because in 2017 I got buy-in and sign-up from my Government at the time to build a four-lane Penlink. It would have already been well under way. The only piece of serious infrastructure that's been delivered for us is from Pūhoi to Warkworth and that was started under a National Government. We have had nothing poured into the electorate other than under this Government an increase in crime social issues around Kāinga Ora and no serious infrastructure having been delivered at all into the electorate. So there's a clear choice. There's a clear choice this year for the country. Do we want to continue down that pathway or do we want to have a change?
