Warren-Clark AngieANGIE WARREN-CLARK (Labour): Well it's a bit of a surprise to be standing and taking a call right at this moment however I do want to acknowledge—Shanan Halbert: Back in the 1970s.ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: Back in the 1970s obviously. I do want to acknowledge the member Brooke van Velden for having her bill drawn from the ballot and also for bringing the bill to the House.I am pleased to be talking on the Housing Infrastructure (GST-sharing) Bill and I must say I missed the beginning speeches last members' day so I went back over and read the Hansard record of the member's speech and I still couldn't understand that concept or how the member had got to this. So I just want to go through the bill in a little bit more detail. Now I am a barrister and solicitor and I do understand legislation and the legislative process but I can't for the life of me understand how you have created a system that is so complex for a matter that perhaps could be so simply clarified.One of the matters in clause 8 the Housing infrastructure development payments": "After each financial year Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities must pay each territorial authority an amount calculated in accordance with the following formula: a = b × c × 0.5". OK so we get that. However that is 67 territorial authorities [Interruption]—DEPUTY SPEAKER: Carry on speaking Ms Warren-Clark.ANGIE WARREN-CLARK: Thank you. If you could direct me as to how much time I have at some point sir. I could go for a long time around this.So we're talking about 67 local authorities that a statistician needs to calculate for. So we're talking about the difference between one of those authorities which has 1.44 million people in it and we're talking about another which has got 600 people in it. So I can't for the life of me work out that is equitable when we know that for example the local authority of the Chatham Islands with 600 rateable houses needs to have infrastructure that costs a tremendous amount just like other places in the country. So I cannot work out how the member thinks that that is a fair process or fair analysis. Nevertheless I do understand that it has been a simple tool that the member has approached this with.I'm also unsure why each financial year the Minister of Housing then must on behalf of the Crown and without further appropriation pay Kāinga Ora the money that Kāinga Ora has paid the local authorities—really complex. Now this is from a party that keeps talking about cutting red tape; this is from a party that keeps saying to us that they think that there are too many bureaucrats as well—or is that the National Party? I can't recall. So it is quite interesting that we have this process happening which is slow and cumbersome and needs to be paid in a way that is perhaps difficult; a statistician needs to be involved.The second thing is that the calculations we talk about is $1.3 billion roughly per year. Now the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund is looking at over $3 billion currently per annum. It certainly doesn't add up.We're also doing a whole pile of things to support housing. Everyone agrees that housing is a massive issue. Now I'm going to do it because it's actually my birthday today [Cheering]—thank you. It's my birthday today everybody. I was born in 1971 so that makes me 52. Do you know Mr Speaker that we have undertaken the biggest build of social housing since the 1970s? I'm 52 years old and we're looking at having the most social housing—one in seven houses have been built in the last six years social houses built by this Government. We don't actually need to have this level right now. What we do need to have is a series of consistent processes that happen. We've got a lot of different things going on and one of the things is this complexity we don't need; we just need more houses.I commend the bill—I do not commend the bill.DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Speaker apologises to Ms Warren-Clark for the muck up around the time and happy birthday."
