Kanongata'a-Suisuiki AnahilaANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI (Labour): Tēnā koe e Te Mana Whakawā. It's an absolute privilege to stand and speak in this House of New Zealand lawmaking debates. First of all I want to acknowledge the passing of the Tongan Prime Minister and I'd like to do that in the Tongan language. Fakafolau atu heni 'eku faka'apa'apa mo e fie kaungā mamahi ki he taufa kuo tō 'i he fonua 'o Tupou. 'Ofa lahi atu ki he kāingá hono kotoa.I would have loved to attend the funeral in Tonga but there is a Tongan saying that says Ko e lava pē 'a 'Ulukālalá ko e lava ia 'a Vava'u Lahí." Our Tongan saying is about Vava'u which is the biggest island in Tonga. 'Ulukālala is its highest chief. When 'Ulukālala is satisfied so is the rest of Vava'u. So I want to acknowledge the leadership of the Hon Jenny Salesa and the respective parties who are representing our country and showing our respect as a loving neighbour to the country of Tonga which is where I was born.But let me come back to this House. I have sat here through the speeches and all I've heard from speaker number one was conspiracy theory number one. Paula Bennett—conspiracy theory. Instead of going to those authorities she conspired to go to the media. Two Matt Doocey who is supposed to be the leading champion of mental health for the National Party had a conspiracy theory about Labour doing nothing—about Labour and this coalition Government doing nothing. Three Melissa Lee talked about conspiracy theory number three about National delivering—I don't know; I couldn't remember—and fourth the member for Hamilton West. He started well when he spoke about the people of Hamilton West but after that it was conspiracy theory number four. The kūmara doesn't speak of its sweetness so I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the New Zealander of the Year for 2019 Mike King and what Mike King said about the Labour Government. He said "nine years of lip service and … nothing." about the National Government. He said "this Government did in two years what the last Government didn't do in nine years." So all the conspiracy theories that were said on the other side in the first four speeches were about National delivering nothing delivering no plan. They have stood there all day today and have not set out a future for what National's going to do for New Zealand when they get in whenever. Actually if you generalise their statements they spoke about nothing nothing—delivering nothing. One could say that's a lazy Opposition. Anyway I was so privileged on Thursday to be at the unveiling of that plaque that acknowledges the New Zealand Wars and I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge you Mr Speaker because it takes leadership and understanding to achieve that. I want to say kia ora malo 'aupito thank you Mr Speaker for your guidance in that. It would be great if as the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern—whose leadership I'm privileged to be under—said we were to be the last generation to grow up in this country not knowing our history because we announced last week that from 2022 New Zealand history will be taught in all schools and kura. It's been a long time coming and we are proud to finally make our stories a formal part of the curriculum. I do hope that the story of Kuramārōtini Kupe's wife who actually saw New Zealand and named us Aotearoa—I do hope that the leadership of women is also told in our history. I hope that all the grandchildren are privileged from having that. Also I'm glad to say that we're putting the free into education. We are funding more decile 1 to 8 schools with school donations—adding additional donations into that—and the reason why it's decile 1 to 8 is because it's much needed. It's much needed in that community. The deciles 9 and 10 schools actually said that they have more in school donations than they would have under what the Government is proposing. The reason why it's an insight and an understanding that the poorer part of our country needs a hand up to assist and what schools are now working—in the last nine years they were on the smell of an oily rag and they are passionate to deliver the best for New Zealand. I'm running out of time but I had a great proverb and I'll use it in another kōrero. Malo 'aupito."
