Doocey MattMATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Mr Speaker thank you very much for the opportunity to contribute to this Budget debate. I stand here on behalf of the National Party to oppose this Government's Budget and to support the Hon Judith Collins'—National Party leader's—amendment that this House has no confidence in anything this Government promises because after just four years its track record of failing to deliver of broken promises of spin over substance and of announcements over results speaks for itself."To bring that amendment to life I want to focus on mental health. Absolute four years of failure from this Government. If I can begin by the context when this Labour Party was in Opposition: they politicised mental health they weaponised suicide statistics they raised expectations with vulnerable New Zealanders and they got thousands of New Zealanders to turn up to an inquiry and tell their traumatic and heartfelt stories. And what do they do? They kick them in the guts. They announce a lot of funding in 2019 wash their hands and say that's all. Why do I know that Budget 2021 is an admission of absolute failure in mental health? They've raised the white flag. How many times did the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern mention mental health in her Budget speech? None. Zero. De nada. How many times did Grant Robertson mention mental health in his Budget speech? The Minister of Finance—one. The two top people mentioned mental health once. That's why Budget 2021 for mental health will be known to sweep mental health under the carpet. They don't want to talk about mental health anymore because what does a Labour Government do in Opposition? They say "Here's a problem: put us in Government and we'll make a difference." They promised New Zealanders they would change the mental health system and they have failed.In the context of this Budget they turned up after announcing record amounts of mental health funding in Budget 2019 and just before Budget 2021 as of 30 April they were supposed to have spent $247 million in new services. They promised vulnerable New Zealanders. And as of that date they were supposed to have spent $247 million. They have only spent $147 million. Already going into Budget 2021 they'd underspent $100 million. I know New Zealand Association of Counsellors working in secondary care and in DHBs are crying out for funding to respond to the growing referral numbers in response to COVID-19—and they're not spending the money.Grant Robertson has record underspends in his mental health bank accounts. And what was there for mental health in Budget 2021? Nothing. They wouldn't even mention the word. Nothing for mental health. They don't talk about it anymore. Tomorrow I will accept a petition from Rebecca Toms from my region of Canterbury—a heartbreaking story. Many New Zealand parents around the country they've got kids with eating disorders. They go in to get treatment and they're told that their kid is not near death enough to access the treatment service. They went to Andrew Little the health Minister and asked for funding. Currently eating disorder services are funded by a paltry $15 million. If addiction services are poor second cousins to mental health services in New Zealand eating disorders aren't even on the radar. Their stakeholder group is voluntary; they get no funding. They went to the health Minister and asked for funding in Budget 2021 just a few million so they can develop a strategy for New Zealand. They got nothing.Here we have I think the actual epitome of how these guys have absolutely failed. Many will know what I'm going to say and that's Mike King handing back his Queen's honour. He says there is more than enough money in the system. It's just the incompetence at the top. It is so up the creek without a paddle it's ridiculous. Families are suffering. Shame on them for letting down vulnerable New Zealanders."
