Kanongata'a-Suisuiki Anahila; Rurawhe AdrianANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI (Labour): Kia ora e Te Mana Whakawā. It's an absolute privilege to stand here and contribute in response to the Prime Minister's statement. My kōrero today will be focused on leadership integrity and caring.In terms of leadership I always have to translate things to Tongan because I think better as a Tongan when things are under way. The word for leadership" when you translate it into Tongan is "tauhi kakai". Well what does that mean? It means "caring for people"—caring for people. Fifteen months ago in the Speech from the throne it had every intention of caring for people. So I want to take this opportunity to thank the New Zealand people who voted for this coalition Government because the Rt Hon Jacinda and the Rt Hon Winston Peters made the right choice for New Zealand. So I am thankful that I am on this side of the House.Hon Scott Simpson: No it's only Winston you have to thank!ANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI: I just heard somebody speak on the other side but past behaviour is a predictor of future behaviour. I will try and demonstrate what that means in the last 15 months. What is past behaviour as a predictor of future behaviour?In her statement the Prime Minister stated that this is why the first priority of our economic theme is to grow and share more fairly New Zealand's prosperity. OK so what is that behaviour? One was the Government's Families Package—350000 New Zealanders have got value from that. The Best Start payment—on 1 April the minimum wage will be lifted to $17.70. Best Start—what will that mean to someone who is on the minimum wage come 1 April? That will mean that if they have a child if they are on $708 before tax and they have a child and you live in Auckland where the average rental is $550-something for the next year they will get $75 because the Prime Minister and everybody on this side has heard every New Zealander saying "We cannot grow our children because we don't have enough money." And that is listening to them—the Best Start payment.The winter energy payment—I was attending church throughout Christmas and the New Year and what I heard from the older people in the church communities—particularly I'm a Methodist; so the Tongan Methodist communities—was "Anahila tell the Prime Minister tell Jacinda"—because they relate to the Prime Minister as if she were one of their children—"thank you for the winter energy payment. I can turn my heater on and I look forward to this year when I can't turn my heater on in the winter." What does that mean? That means when we talk about—I'm going to go because my time's up—some of her statement the Prime Minister talked about warm housing and providing housing for New Zealanders. Every New Zealander in this country is vulnerable at the one time. We all are most vulnerable and do you know when that is? It's when we close our eyes. When we are asleep we are at our most vulnerable. Whether you're the Prime Minister or whether you're a pre-schooler we are all at our most vulnerable when we close our eyes. We expect to wake up in the morning somewhere safe in a warm house and that's what's being provided.I want to now jump because I want to respond to the last speaker from the other side when she talked about Māori. I want to say that my favourite quote these days is "No interpreter needed." Leadership is about hearing that. Te Arawhiti - Māori Crown Relations—that's about leadership. Piringa Māori and leading the relationship with Māori—that is about "No interpreter required." Our well-being Budget: we're going ahead sailing ahead to our well-being Budget and in that lifting Māori and Pacific incomes skills and opportunity is a priority for every Government Minister every Government department in this country. Why? Because the Prime Minister did not listen with her head; she listened with her heart. This is a Government who is leading with their heart who's leading with compassion. Integrity is about saying something following through with doing it but leadership is about the way you conduct yourself.I am so thankful that I am on this side of the House and we are contributing and delivering for all New Zealanders.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): Order! The member's time has expired."
