Upston LouiseHon LOUISE UPSTON (National—Taupō): Thank you Mr Speaker. Actually the Rt Hon Bill English spoke about real results—real results for real people actually who had faced some real challenges in life and it was the previous Government who introduced an innovative solution to delivering education to children that weren't being served in the mainstream system. So I am proud and Bill English is proud that we have given young people opportunities that they wouldn't otherwise have been given.I want to comment on another part of the record of the last decade. The Salvation Army this morning actually released in its state of the nation report the trends over the past 10 years and it is of course no mistake that over the majority of that period of time the Rt Hon Bill English was the finance Minister and then the Prime Minister. This is not just talking about economic results about economic progress; it talks about really important progress in social areas whether it's jobs incomes crime benefits or child poverty. So I wanted to focus some of my time in this general debate on real results.Prime Minister Ardern has talked about the fact that she wants to be held accountable. We're still waiting to hear what she wants to be held accountable for but I thought I would actually talk about some of the record of the previous Prime Minister whether it's in areas of job creation whether it's income growth whether it's declining benefits or whether it's lifting children out of material hardship. These are not our words; these are the Salvation Army's. One of the real hallmarks of Bill English's time in this place nearly 28 years is his absolute commitment to putting data in the hands of others to help us as a country to solve our real challenges. So it's recognising that it might be an iwi organisation it might be a partnership school that's run by a local iwi or Pasifika it might be in a place-based initiative—very grassroots community organisations that are helping to solve the challenges of real people with real needs whether it was lifting the minimum wage whether it was increasing benefits for the first time in 40 years or whether it was reducing the number of children living in hardship by 135000.So I'm looking forward to that Government opening the books showing data and providing more data than we've previously seen in the last nine years of Government—opening the door for others to help solve the problems instead of shutting them down like they're doing with partnership schools at the moment and actually allowing others in to work with the Government of the day. But you've said you want to be accountable for results so what have you said so far?SPEAKER: Order! Order!Hon LOUISE UPSTON: That Government have said they're going to be held accountable for results. A billion trees—a billion trees. We're looking forward to how many have already been planted. A hundred thousand homes—now that can't be counting the ones that were already under way so we're looking forward to those results. And 30000 fewer immigrants—30000. So those are the numbers that that side of the House have put out there. We will be watching and we will be counting and we will be enabling and ensuring that others across the country are also watching and holding this Government to account.If I look at the record of an extraordinary New Zealander who yesterday announced he was leaving Parliament after nearly 28 years of service I'm not looking at his report; I'm looking at the Salvation Army report. And I'm looking at the increased number of jobs I'm looking at increased wages I'm looking at the reduced number of people on benefit and more importantly the reduced number of children living in material hardship. That was delivered under this Government. I'm looking to see what the record of the other side will be to deliver for real people with real challenges because to be fair the record isn't so great when the first thing you want to do—the first thing in education that Labour wants to do—is strip the opportunity of the very children you purport to support.
