Hayes Jo; Borrows ChesterJOANNE HAYES (National): What a load of codswobble that was. Honestly at the rate that that previous speaker Metiria Turei is going on we may as well all just line up and go and jump off the nearest bank and just do ourselves in because if the Greens do ever get into Government we may as well say goodbye to all the great economic advancement that this Government has done. We may as well kiss all that goodbye because that is exactly what is going to happen. Our farmers our agricultural sector will absolutely die under a regime of Green policy—Green policy that really has no place in our society.When I start to look at this amazing Budget from our Minister of Finance the Hon Steven Joyce—this is his first Budget and I must say he has delivered us a doozy delivering for all New Zealanders four key areas: big investment in public services record investment in new infrastructure improvements for the resilience of New Zealand from future shocks and most importantly the centrepiece of this particular Budget strengthening families by lifting their incomes through the Family Incomes Package. My colleagues have articulated that particular piece of the Budget very very well—this $2 billion Family Incomes Package—and I can tell you that should the Greens get in you may as well wipe that one out too because it will all just go down the gurgler. Our families would suffer big time.On 1 April 2018 we are looking at increases in the $14000 income tax threshold to $22000 and in the $48000 tax threshold to $52000. This means that those working full-time on the minimum wage will receive $11 a week as a result of tax threshold changes. Some of our families need this. Some of them will get on average $26 extra in their pocket. That is along with the other areas in the Budget that have gone in over the last 12 months—that is free GP services for those under age 13. This is a Budget that is talking to our people in New Zealand. It is supporting families because families are what makes communities and it is the communities that actually generate the economy that we all live in.I also want to take a little time to talk about the $434.1 million that has been set aside for the vulnerable children and young people in care package. This is an amazing piece of the Budget because for the first time in the history of this country we have looked at and restructured the Child Youth and Family organisation. We are coming out with a piece of legislation that will actually centre on children. Children will have a say. It will be all about them and it will be anything and everything that they want for them and not so much about what adults want for them. They have a voice and this is part and parcel of this $434.1 million that has been set aside for that particular piece of policy.When we start to look at that piece of policy and start to break it down we are looking at $26.4 million going to support 4500 caregivers. No doubt my colleagues will be able to delve into that even further and tease that out a bit more but I cannot because I have got only about 1 minute and 20 seconds left. We start looking at $28.1 million for Family Start $11.7 million over the next 2 years to evaluate community-based remand placements and as I have been looking at that piece of legislation for Oranga Tamariki. I can see that so many things are going to be invested in for the well-being of our young people in New Zealand. The Ministry for Vulnerable Children's CEO will have a big task ahead of her. She will be made responsible for a number of activities and actions and budget allocations as part and parcel of her job and I think that she will make an excellent go of everything. I am pleased that I am part and parcel of the Social Services Committee which is looking at that piece of legislation.I note $19.5 million allocated across 3 years as part of Budget 2017 for the Social Investment Package. This is expanding on intensive care support for up to 1500 clients. There are so many things that have come out just from that piece of the Budget. As a member on this side of the House I am very proud of the work that this Government has done for New Zealand. I know that by coming back after the next election we will continue to grow economic development in this country. Thank you.Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER: A 5-minute call on behalf of the National Party—Shane Reti.
