Logie Jan; Rurawhe AdrianJAN LOGIE (Green): Thank you Mr Speaker. Today I want to speak about the really dire state of housing for disabled people in Aotearoa stories that I don't think are heard enough in this country or understood by those of us who don't experience those barriers but are evidenced through research backed up by the UN and are the subject of years if not decades—actually just decades—of advocacy for change from disabled people. I want to start this contribution by saying that recently the Greens have been having some online Zoom meetings enabling space for disabled people to share their experiences of those barriers to housing. I want to share some of those stories as well as some of the stories in the research because I believe really passionately that more of us need to be aware of this and join them in the push for change because what is happening is just unacceptable and we need to have urgent change.So some of the stories are of a woman whose leg was amputated and she managed to access ACC for 80 percent of the minimum wage. Rocketing housing prices meant she couldn't afford a house any more and she ended up in a tent in a campground. Her health was suffering there was violence around her in that space and she felt incredibly unsafe. Through winter she was getting up and moving and walking through the night on an amputated leg because she was so worried about hypothermia. That is happening in our country. Another: a 31-year-old woman with a spinal cord injury who was placed in an old people's home because that was the only space deemed appropriate for her to live. When she moved in there was no Wi-Fi. There are set meal times. There is her and the other youngest person was a 60-year-old—with organised activities in that space that are inappropriate to a 30-year-old. A person who had spent their whole life working managed to have money to buy a house. A genetic disease kicked in and it meant that they had mobility issues where they couldn't be in normal standardised housing. They were lucky enough to have the resources to buy a home and access home ownership—really exciting opportunity. They got in there but the processes were so set that the builders insisted on building an inaccessible house. They wouldn't even agree to not putting in the inaccessible bathroom or kitchen that would enable this person to just modify it when they took over. So they had to wait until they'd finished pull out the kitchen pull out the bathroom and wait three months before they could move in and they paid for those costs on top of the cost of the house. That is how our system is set up at the moment. We had people who have been—and this is such a common story—in emergency housing and unable to get into housing because only 2 percent of our housing stock is accessible and then they finally get into a Kāinga Ora house because basically that's all there is and then it's still not fully accessible. Eighteen months on they're waiting for the retrofitting to make it accessible. People are having accidents and injuring themselves further because of the way that the system is set up. Huge numbers of these people are in mouldy damp houses because that's all there is. They have no choice about what suburb they live in or whether they are close to family because we have such a scarcity of accessible homes and that means that let alone the precariousness of fearing that you're going to lose this house that gives you shelter you lose family you lose friends and you lose opportunity for work and connection.People's entire lives are being shaped by the fact that we have set up a system to work against their inclusion and to isolate them and deny them their basic rights. The United Nations has called this country out to say that Kāinga Ora should be building 100 percent to universal design as opposed to the 15 percent target—target—that they have now and we need to be implementing the 2004 Act rather than just delaying it and delaying it as has been happening. Disabled people have rights in law and we need legislation—an accessibility Act that will enforce those rights—and not continue—SPEAKER: Order! The member's time has expired.
