Doocey Matt; Mallard TrevorMATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): That last member Michael Wood set down the challenge: let's talk about announcements; let's talk about infrastructure. Well I'll tell of an announcement that happened in my electorate of Waimakariri on Thursday last week. The local Pegasus Residents' Group and the Woodend town residents association had their AGM. They invited the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) to come and talk about a long-overdue Woodend bypass that's been agreed to and is going to be constructed by 2027. In the words of the NZTA representative he said The Woodend bypass is now off the table. The Woodend bypass is not a priority for the Labour Government. The Woodend bypass is not a priority because the new Government is prioritising for public transport in main cities." That's the announcement that is happening in regional New Zealand.New Zealanders like the people of Waimakariri are very pragmatic and they know a Government that supports them. The former Government built the Western Belfast Bypass and the northern corridor was under construction and now we have a new Government that is reneging on the Woodend bypass. At the start of this year I started a petition and the media approached the transport Minister Phil Twyford who used words on me that said I was misleading it was Opposition politicking and now it was disingenuous. Yet last week NZTA came out and said the Woodend bypass is off the table. It's not a priority for this Government and this Government is prioritising public transport in main cities. These are the announcements that are going to happen more and more around regional New Zealand.Let's talk about the announcements for mental health. Now the Government talked up a big game for mental health in the campaign. What have we heard? Eight months in we've had one announcement: $25 million for schools' mental health professionals in Canterbury. Yes a good programme—it was one of our pilot schemes announced last year. But here it is: it's not new funding. The $25 million was out of the $100 million that this Government has inherited for the contingency fund for mental health. So eight months in they've already short-changed mental health by $75 million. Not only that—short-changing $75 million—they're actually cutting mental health services in rural New Zealand. The Rural Health Alliance is having funding cut. Now they're people best placed to provide suicide prevention services in rural communities and there we have it: short-changing mental health by $75 million cutting mental health services in rural communities and what do they announce? A mental health inquiry which is already causing division in the mental health sector.Shaun Robinson from the Mental Health Foundation says "One of the dangers is that this review isn't going to tell us anything we don't know already." Kevin Allan the Mental Health Commissioner said "There is no need for an inquiry. We need action." Corinda Taylor who is a Life Matters Suicide Prevention Trust spokesperson talks about how much time the public has to submit on this inquiry. How much time has the public got to submit on a year-long inquiry: 80 days 60 days 40 days 20 days? The public has 15 days—15 days to submit on a national inquiry.So the pressure's back on this Government for mental health. David Clark said "A visit to a GP for mental health issues will be free and there will be mental health coordinators in primary care." So there they go. That's what they pledged. That's what we're expecting for mental health in the Budget tomorrow. Free mental health visits to GPs and primary mental health care teams—that'll need to be in the Budget because what the benchmark is is a year ago pretty much to the day the last Government in Budget 2017—SPEAKER: Order! The member's time has expired. I want to remind the member that when I'm on my feet he doesn't—I mean his mike's cut off so no one can hear him anyway out in the world so he just looks a bit funny. But the member must resume his seat when the time's up and I'm on my feet."
