Sosene Lemauga LydiaLEMAUGA LYDIA SOSENE (Labour—Māngere): Thank you Mr Speaker. I am very pleased to take this call because I want to talk about Māngere. I know that across the House you all come to Māngere. Why? Because the airports are in Māngere.My issue is a local issue. I want to zone in on vapes and vaping stores and vape harm. We have 21 schools in our rohe. We have 11 primary schools three intermediates and the rest are our high schools and our kura. In a recent meeting that I have had with school principals across the rohe we have great alarm—year 4 year 5 year 6 in our primary schools.So I want to help highlight the problem for the members right across the House because it's actually quite timely that in today's Dominion Post the Minister Minister Costello talks about—it's reported in this article that there has been a reduction of staff who know the business in terms of regulatory and compliance.In talking to a number of the deputy principals across the rohe it is alarming that young children of year 4 year 5 year 6 are now bringing these little devices into schools and school principals are saying that one dedicated head teacher needs to deal with the problems of our young tamariki.I wanted to highlight this issue today because I know a lot of people across Tāmaki-makau-rau across the country—and I'm specifically talking about adults who have the sound mind to make decisions but we are talking about our tamariki the future of this country. In Māngere we have hundreds if not thousands of our little people in year 4 year 5 year 6 that are being exposed. The principals have told me where they get these devices from and the behavioural problems—schools are not resourced to deal with this type of issue. So what I wanted to highlight today in my time was how Minister Costello talks about the Government of the day is going to strengthen the regulatory compliance and enforcement regime around vaping and tobacco sales. eally as a member of Parliament I'm concerned in my local rohe that our young babies are being exposed to this vaping. We have got far too many vaping shops in Māngere and I'm sure right across South Auckland very similar instances. But when a former senior health ministry staffer says that there's going to be cuts—and I know that this Government has talked about tax cuts—this Government is making choices that is harming the flow-on effect. Can I say that when you lose a dedicated well-trained well-evidenced regulatory staff who deal with these types of problems going around local communities and looking at vaping stores and just checking—because on the Ministry of Health website it's really easy to become a specialist vape retailer.My plea: the Government needs to consider that the policies that you are making these tax cuts the flow-on effect to our tamariki in Māngere—this a really serious problem.In my time that is left I want to highlight the difference because in Māngere as well we had some good news. We had some good news that one of our kura is the highest achieving kura in the country with regards to NCEA results—highest achieving kura for 2023.So my plea is that in suburbs like Māngere where you've got a number of challenges regarding socio-economics this is a problem that we do not want. How do we work together across the House? These vaping devices they're poison. It's really poisoning our tamarikis' brain development. I'm not a medical specialist but I'm highlighting as a parent the dangers when we take our eyes off regulatory and compliance for this poison product that is sold in street corner dairies. We have a massive problem looming before us. So that is my plea to the House. Thank you Mr Speaker for my time.SPEAKER: There's three minutes left.
