McKee NicoleNICOLE McKEE (ACT): Thank you Madam Speaker. I'd like to stand and speak today and talk about healthy thriving communities. It has been a topic that ACT brought up and then Labour brought up—actually patting themselves on the back for how well they've done with their healthy thriving communities. I don't see that. The ACT Party do not see healthy thriving communities. What we do see is that gang numbers have increased by over 50 percent since 2017 when Labour took over. What we do see upon walking down the streets of Courtenay Place last year in December and talking to shop owners is videos of extreme violence taking place on small-business owners as they try to go about their business. In one shop down Courtenay Place a shop owner showed me videos of her staff members being punched in the head of the doors at the front of her shop being smashed when people who were begging for money were not able to get it from the patrons trying to enter the shop and the female shop keeper herself being thrown up against the wall for not allowing a person to store their drugs in her refrigerator.What we are seeing is that people are becoming very very scared to just go out into their streets—including another woman in Wellington who has a clothing shop down an alleyway who said that she is now too afraid to open her doors because people will come and urinate at her door while she has customers in the shop. The soft-on-crime approach that Labour has taken towards our communities is not healthy and it does not allow our communities to thrive. People cannot afford basic amenities. They can't get bread milk. They're struggling to pay their electricity bills and when you start getting push notifications from the media like we did today suggesting that the $3 petrol price hike that we are seeing in some parts of the country means that the people that work at the petrol stations are being attacked and they are asking us to please not take it out on them we can't justify this as being a healthy thriving community—not when people are struggling to afford to live.ACT has a future. We have policies that we think will help make New Zealand a healthy thriving community in which to live. We can do this with some of the bills that we have already produced. We can do it by starting with addressing the crime rates. ACT has a criminal proceeds and recovery bill in the ballot box that we will be discussing. It will make sure that we can tax the gangs by taking away their assets hitting them where it hurts—in their pockets as ACT had originally said—by making sure that we can seize their assets upon finding them in possession of an illegal firearm. We also have—sitting in the ballot box—gang injunction orders. And while the firearm prohibition orders that the Government have laid will address some of the issues we want to specifically target the gangs and believe that this bill can do so.We want to make sure that policing numbers in the future are based on our population not on the Government's priorities which do not obviously look at a healthy thriving community. We want to see our borders reopen so that critical workers and fruit pickers can get in so that the tourists can come back and so that those entrepreneurs who are making all sorts of things for New Zealanders and their tourists can continue to do so. Entrepreneurs strive to be successful but at the moment they are being beaten down by bureaucracy. I want to make sure that those people can survive and that they can be a part of a community where they can thrive. These things are all needed to ensure that we have our healthy thriving communities and I've repeated that over and over again because the reality is we have not got there. These are things that we've thought about and that's just the tip of the iceberg on how we can achieve it not only for our futures but also for the next generation and we look forward to partaking in this year and bringing about our policies. Thank you.
