Prime Willow-JeanWILLOW-JEAN PRIME (Labour): E Te Māngai o Te Whare tēnā koe. Nā te mea e rima noa iho ngā miniti kua hōmai ki ahau kotahi noa iho te kaupapa e hiahia ana ahau te kōrero. Ko tērā ko te Whare. Kua hōhā noa atu au ki te whakarongo ki tērā taha o te Whare e kōrero mai ana e pātai mai ana kei hea ngā moni mō ngā Māori. He aha te take i iti ake te moni mō ngā Māori. E mōhio ana ahau kei hea te moni mō te Māori. Kei roto i te pūtea mō te hanga whare mō te whakatikatika i ngā whare o tēnei motu. Kei reira te moni mō Ngāi Tātou te iwi Māori. Nā te mea i roto i a au e haere ana i roto i taku takiwā o Te Tai Tokerau ki roto i ngā whiringa pōti i rongo ahau i ngā kōrero he whānau noho kore whare i roto i Moerewa Kawakawa Kaikohe Kaeo Kaitaia puta noa ki Te Kaipara anō hoki. Horekau he whare. E noho ana i roto i ngā motokā i ngā wēne i ngā tēneti ngā tēneti. Kei hea te moni mō te iwi Māori? Kei roto i tēnei o ngā tahua pūtea e hoatu ana ki te mahi ki te whakatikatika whare me te hauora me te mātauranga ko ērā mea katoa. Tino pōuri ahau te tūtaki i ngā whānau e noho ana i roto i te pōharatanga e noho ana kore e noho kore whare ana. E huri ana ahau ki te māuiuitanga kua pāngia e rātou e noho ana ki roto i ngā whare mākū nei ngā whare makariri nei. Neke atu i te whā tekau mano ngā tāngata i uru atu ki te hōhipere e mate ana i te maremare te rewharewha me te rūmātiki anō hoki. I tēnei wiki tonu i tūtaki ahau i tētahi māmā i te hōhipere i Whangārei. Te take te rūmātiki. Mōhio ana tātou tērā mate puta mai i roto i te noho whare makariri me te whare mākū anō hoki. Nā e aha ana tātou te rōpū Reipa e aha ana tātou mō ngā whānau Māori? Nā e hoatu ana neke atu i te kotahi mano whā tekau mā toru mano whānau tēnei mea te Winter Energy Payment. He pūtea tēnei mō te hōtoke mō ngā whānau pōhara nei kia awhi i a rātou i tēnei wā taimaha. Whā tekau mā ono mano o wērā tāngata he kaumātua he kuia e noho ana i roto i te makariri i tēnei wā o te hōtoke. I tērā tau i pahure hoki he ture mō te whare kia pai te mahana kia pai te maroke anō hoki. Nā Anaru Iti tērā pire i kawe ki roto i te whare nei. Neke atu i te kotahi miriona tāra whā tekau mā toru miriona tāra hei whakamahana i ngā whare. Mōhio ana tātou i piki ake te nama o ngā Māori e noho ana i ngā whare me kī ko ngā rentals. He aha te take? I neke atu a piki ake i te whā tekau mā tahi paiheneti ki te whitu tekau mā whitu paiheneti. He aha te take? Nā te mea nā koutou i hoko atu ngā whare o te Karauna. Nā ko tēnei ture ko te tikanga kia whakamahana ake kia whakapai ake ngā whare. Ka hoatu neke atu i te kotahi rau whā tekau mā toru miriona tāra hei whakamahana ake i wērā o ngā whare. Te nuinga o ngā whānau e noho ana ki roto i ngā whare he Māori.Nā e mōhio ana ahau ā e hanga ana tēnei Kāwanatanga neke atu i te ono rau ngā whare a te Kāwanatanga. I hoko atu koutou i ngā whare engari e hanga ana mātou ngā whare. Te nui o te tangata e noho i runga i te rārangi tatari mō wērā o ngā whare. Anō hoki ko te tekau mā rima miriona tāra mō te hanga papakāinga e mahi ngātahi ana me ngā whānau hapū iwi kia hanga i ngā papakāinga i runga i ngā whenua Māori. He pūtea anō hoki mō tērā kaupapa. Nā kua tata pau te wā ki ahau. I mea mai a Jacinda she would rather be known as a PM who tried rather than a PM who never tried at all. Tāku ki a ia whāia te iti kahurangi. Ki te tuohu koe me he maunga teitei. Jacinda me he maunga teitei. Kia ora.[To the Speaker I greet you. Because I have been allocated only five minutes there is only one matter that I wish to speak about and that is the House. I am very tired of hearing the talk and questions from across the House asking where the funding is for Māori. Where is this? Why is there a decrease in funding for Māori? I know where the funding for Māori is. It is in the funding for housing construction and renovations throughout the country. That is where the money is for our Māori people.As I travel around my region of Te Tai Tokerau within the electorate I heard about homeless families in Moerewa Kawakawa Kaikohe Kaeo Kaitaia and right up to Te Kaipara as well. They have no home. They are living in cars vans and tents in fact. Where is the money for Māori? It is in the Budget going towards building and maintenance of homes as well as health and education all those areas. It is heartbreaking to meet families living in poverty and homelessness. I will now talk about the health issues that are caused by living in damp and cold houses. Over 40000 people were admitted to hospital because of coughing influenza and rheumatic fever and this week I met a mother at the hospital in Whāngārei. The reason she is there is because of rheumatic fever. We know that that illness is caused by living in cold and damp houses. So what are we the Labour Party doing for the Māori people? Over 143000 families will receive the Winter Energy Payment. This funding is for winter for poor families to assist them during that difficult time. Of those who live in cold conditions during winter 46000 are elderly. Last year legislation was passed aimed at housing focusing on dry and warm houses. Andrew Little brought a bill into the House. Over $143 million is for warm homes. It is known that the number of Māori living in rentals has increased. Why is that—an increase from 41 to 77 percent? Why is that? It is because you sold off the Crown-owned houses.This legislation its purposes are warm houses and better housing conditions. Over $143 million will be given to insulate homes. Most of the people living in these homes are Māori. Therefore I know the Government will be building over 600 Government houses. You all sold off the houses but we are building houses. There are so many people on the waiting list for those houses. Also there is $15 million for building papakāinga housing working with whānau hapū and iwi to establish papakāinga on Māori land. That is more funding for that initiative. I have almost used up my time. Jacinda said to me that she would rather be known as a PM who tried rather than a PM who never tried at all. My advice to her is seek something of great significance if you bow let it be to a lofty mountain. Jacinda let it be a lofty mountain. Thank you.]
