Roberts AngelaANGELA ROBERTS (Labour): Kia ora Madam Speaker. I really want to take a moment to shout out to our primary industries. You know we heard earlier tonight about a wonderful record on our primary exports. We know that despite the significant headwinds that they are facing around you know those significant weather events major international cost pressures they still managed to crack—what was it $56.2 billion something like that—because of their resilience their commitment and their ambition. And we are proud as a Government to support them.This Government proudly invests in our rural communities and our primary sector. We put our money where our mouth is. We know that they are worth investing in because we are the best in the world. I was at a sod-turning the other morning—State Highway 43 the forgotten highway for some—with Minister Allan. It was a cold but beautiful morning under that mountain. Kahouri Stream Bridge project: $8 million to turn one little single lane on that State highway into a big two-lane bridge. Really great investment a really great example of building resilience for our rural communities making sure our school buses can get where they need to go where our milk tankers and our logging trucks—and also the 13000 additional tourists we're going to have as we tar-seal the Tangarakau Gorge and we get our travellers between Tongariro National Park to Papakura or Taranaki. Really really great investment in resilience.Another event I was at a couple of weeks ago another beautiful day in Taranaki—it always seems to happen. I was down at a local's farm Bushlies farm where a whole pile of us turned up to plant 1005 trees in one morning in a couple of hours. It was quite boggy but it was really great to be with my neighbours and being really excited about regenerative farming and restoring and protecting the biodiversity and our wetlands. Our farmers are doing magnificent things and this Government is fronting up with the resources to support those communities. We are building the capacity and the capability of our people. We make sure that they have the ability to have local nimble responses. They can identify their needs and they can respond to them.This Government has provided more than $34 million for more than 200 catchment groups 16 in Taranaki alone. You know most of those groups started talking about the challenges they had around the water and water quality and soil erosion and those sorts of things. But now in Taranaki we've got dung beetles. We've got some pretty good dung beetles having a go at fixing up our soil. And we've got some really great support going for those who are reaching out to diversify. Food and fibre: it's not just about milk any more in Taranaki; we've got hops we've got botanicals. It's a really exciting place to be living amongst a community that is so ambitious and to be able to provide support to them.The last event in the last few weeks that I had the great privilege of being involved in was Fieldays. Another fabulous week of fabulous weather up in the Waikato and it was really great to see all of this investment that's happening has built such momentum. The highlight for me was going up to the innovation hub and catching up with a couple of my neighbours from down in the southern end of Taranaki - King Country and some constituents from up in the King Country end. It was great to see one of the finalists in the Early-Stage category in the Innovation Awards. Good old Rewild Nick Jones and his amazing team who have created—you're going to love this one Minister the F-Bomb".Hon Peeni Henare: Hey!ANGELA ROBERTS: All right! It is the most amazing innovation around trapping mustelids. It's really exciting stuff. And—[Interruption] yeah—and the team at AgriAI were really excited about sharing their innovation around the machine vision-enabled automatic teat sprayer. Now this might not sound like something that's really exciting but I tell you it is. And there were young excited scientists in the middle of that.This is because we are investing in our primary industries. We're investing in our people. We're investing in technology. We're investing in everything that we need to build the momentum and make sure that we stay in that top spot. We are—did you know this?—the top of the Sustainable Trade Index. It considers environmental and social and economic pillars so to speak and it shows that we are working really hard and really effectively at getting to the top the front of the pack and making sure we do everything we need to stay there. And I'm really really pleased to have been part of that."
