Ghahraman GolrizGOLRIZ GHAHRAMAN (Green): Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker. The Green Party is the proud heart of this Wellbeing Budget. We are leading progressive policies that are reflected in this Budget but we're also helping do Government differently. The way the Government works is reflected in this Budget and every Budget and this one focuses on measuring our success in delivering the things that actually matter to our people and to nature. This Budget delivers a massive boost on delivery of the Green Party's confidence and supply agreement outcomes. So we've actually got a Budget for the first time on climate change. The actual work of the Climate Change Commission will set targets that are independently monitored to see New Zealand actually lower its emissions as part of a global move to combat this existential threat. We're taking climate change seriously because that is central to the wellbeing of this country and the entire globe. We're taking mental health seriously with $1.9 billion invested in mental health services including the line item in our confidence and supply agreement that everyone should have access to high-quality timely mental health services including free counselling for all under-25-year-olds. That's huge. People are suffering. It's huge and it's urgent and now we're delivering on that. It's not worth the surplus if our people are suffering. But I want to focus as well on justice something close to my heart. There is so much to celebrate in terms of doing justice differently in this Budget. I do want to start by celebrating the Green Parliamentary Under-Secretary for the prevention of domestic and sexual violence in this Government. Hon Andrew Little: She's very experienced. GOLRIZ GHAHRAMAN: She is very experienced says the Minister of Justice and I know they work very closely together. But in terms of the record Budget success—the $320 million for the first time ever invested in preventing this epidemic in New Zealand—the beauty of this was not just the sum total of the money but that it did bring so many Ministers together across the justice sector across education and across health because we're admitting that everyone has to work together to prevent this absolute epidemic that's affecting most New Zealanders. Let's face it. So there will be more support for front-line services. We will do justice in the courts differently to support fairness for victims and that will take a whole-of-Government approach which is reflected in this Budget win. We're providing mental health services to prisoners because we know that a vast majority of the people we lock up in prison actually suffer from serious lifelong diagnoses of mental health and addiction challenges. So we're investing $128 million in supporting an extra 2310 people who are currently in prison without access to appropriate mental health services to finally get the help that they need. We're finally focusing on rehabilitation and safe reintegration of prisoners back into the community because we know that that's the only way that we will keep us all safe. That's the only way that we will bring down the prison population and we will keep our communities safe and we'll bring down crime. We are basing our work in the justice system on evidence not on tough-on-crime rhetoric that only ever makes politicians look tough on crime while the rates rise and people suffer. We are investing in our Human Rights Review Tribunal because actually the year and a half wait at minimum—an 18-month wait—for cases to be heard by that tribunal is access to justice denied. We are investing in community law centres and we're investing in legal aid mental health services for our prisoners and Human Rights Commission and Human Rights Review Tribunal funding. We are saying that access to justice shouldn't be reserved for just the few; it's for everyone. Human rights are for everyone. That's what wellbeing depends on. But the further work we do need to do in preventing what causes offending imprisonment and human rights breaches still remains and will come in further Budgets. It is in addressing the reform of our welfare system. It is in providing more mental health services. It's in providing homes for everyone and jobs. We do see this as a first step in the Green Party but we are so proud to be part of a Government that is actually doing Budgets differently. Thank you.
