Curran Clare; Tolley AnneHon CLARE CURRAN (Labour—Dunedin South): Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. It's a new year and this Government's got its head down and it's working hard for New Zealand. It's also got its eyes fixed firmly ahead on developing a long-term blueprint for a better New Zealand which means building a productive and sustainable economy for everyone—not just for a few but for everyone. It also means improving the well-being of New Zealanders and it also means taking a new approach to leadership an approach that's about showing compassion showing positivity showing dignity and also showing respect for each other.Meanwhile the Opposition barks at cars practises the machiavellian dark arts demonstrates petty and vindictive politics—politics that are about dog whistling. We've just heard speeches about this this afternoon: dog whistling condescending and mansplaining demonstrated just recently by the production of sexist advertisements which turn New Zealanders off quite frankly.If you ask any New Zealander what they want from their politicians they will say a hard worker a local representative strong local representation focusing on the bigger picture delivering for everyone and thinking about the future. I recently just delivered—well not personally; I had a good team—23000 surveys into homes in my electorate. Hundreds of responses are coming in. There are more coming in every day and they're yet to be properly analysed but a cursory analysis of what the 2018 Government actions were that had the most awareness and that people were the most appreciative of were the free under-14 GP visits the winter energy payment and the fact that Dunedin will get a new hospital. Minimum wage rises the first years of fees free and the extension of paid parental leave were highly appreciated and there was very high awareness of it as well.This is the demonstration of a Government that is actually delivering things that mean something to people and are making their lives better. It's a sign of a Government that actually is doing what it said it would do which will benefit all New Zealanders. It's a sign of a Government that's not afraid to face up to the big issues and that's actually not afraid to take some risks. It's a sign of a Government that knows that the measures of success are about building that sustainable productive economy but are also about the health and happiness of New Zealanders and protecting the environment as well. My colleague Dr Liz Craig just talked about that metaphor—for the last nine years really—which has ended up being that dark mud of that estuary where there's been just a complete disregard for the importance of protecting the environment.We said that Dunedin would get its new hospital it would be in the central city and we'd start work on it in our first term—we're on track. We said that housing would be a priority—we're on track. This is a Government that has built 1100 new State homes. That was a Government that sold 5000 State houses and left thousands and thousands of people homeless. We said that we would get the Hillside rail workshops up and running. We're on track to start doing that. The Parliament heard that this is a Government that is investing in rail and we are heading in that direction. We are delivering. You are seeing it in the regions you are seeing the growth you are seeing the investment in regional development and regional New Zealand you are seeing the hope in people's faces and you are seeing a sense in our Work and Income offices of a change in culture a change in attitude. This is a Government that is delivering for New Zealanders.DEPUTY SPEAKER: I understand that this is a split call.
