Warren-Clark AngieANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): Thank you Madam Speaker. Delighted to stand and take a five-minute call on the Budget. I want to start my contribution by congratulating our Government for its exceptional work of pivoting—right in the middle of COVID-19—to produce a Budget that has been exceptional. Smack-bang in the middle of COVID-19 our Minister of Finance turned 360 and created a Budget with the Government in line to manage and support our people their health and our businesses. I want to acknowledge as well our leader Jacinda Ardern the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern for her daily updates. These daily updates—don't forget that she spent every single day of our lockdown working for this country. I'd like to commend her for that because it was a tremendously difficult time.On to the Budget and as we move slowly towards level 1 I want to pause and acknowledge the support packages the $50 billion Budget that has been offered to us all. We're only able to do this because we prepared for the rainy day and my goodness that rainy day is here and we are so very lucky that we have a Government that is not only compassionate but has good fiscal management. Look our Budget has helped support 1.7 million people with the wage subsidy and I just would like to acknowledge on behalf of my husband and I who are small-business owners as well—Hon Member: Very royal.ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: Ha ha! Yes very royal.Hon Member: What sort of business?ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: A construction business. We are running a small construction business and one of the things that is so important what's so important for us is the contribution for the wages. That really supported us. That meant that our staff could stay working. That meant that our people could keep feeding themselves and look after themselves. I'm based in Pāpāmoa the mighty Bay of Plenty and I'd like to encourage the member opposite to come visit Pāpāmoa and perhaps talk to some of the businesses in my community who are saying thank you for this work. Thank you so much for being able to support. So those were 1.7 million people supported. This is a tremendous Budget.I'd like to come very quickly now to two things that I'm particularly passionate about—two things that I'm passionate about and came to Parliament for. One of those things—as you may know I've been a manager of Tauranga Women's Refuge so I've managed a refuge. Now Tauranga Women's Refuge spoke to me the other day—absolutely delighted. Their baseline funding has been increased to 60 percent—60 percent baseline funding. When I ran that refuge for nine long years we did not have a pay increase. We operated on $21.25 an hour and we had 14 staff so I am absolutely delighted—delighted that actually on the ground our first-class exceptional front-line workers are going to be paid what they deserve. Hallelujah—I say. The final thing that I'd like to raise is a very small part of the Budget which I'm personally delighted about and I would like to acknowledge the Hon David Parker Eugenie Sage and Damien O'Connor for their work. This is around the $32 million put into food rescue. Why is this important? Food rescue is something that I've been really passionate about. Food rescue—we have $1.7 trillion worth of food wasted in the world every year. We have a huge amount: 8 percent of methane produced by food waste and we have people hungry in this country and we have people who have food that is good enough to eat but not good enough to sell going into landfill. So I'm very delighted about the package that has been put together that supports the environment but also supports the social aspects—$32 million. I'd like to acknowledge and thank those Ministers for working so collaboratively. Also very quickly I acknowledge the select committee work which I led in which a briefing was created looking at food waste in New Zealand. So I'm absolutely personally delighted for this work. Thank you.
