Leary IngridINGRID LEARY (Labour—Taieri): I'm glad that we all seem to be sitting around holding hands and singing Kumbaya". I apologise if I'm deeply cynical about what the members opposite have said they are committing to because this is a week where we've seen the disabled community traumatised by the lack of championing of their cause by their Minister.When I heard her speak today I did not get the commitment to the recommendations as set out in the petition by Claire Dale that she has said and that the other members have said were there. What I heard in fact was that in recommendation number 1 it says "significantly increase and index to inflation [fines] for illegal parking in mobility parking spaces". We did not hear a commitment to that; we heard a commitment for a review by the Ministry of Transport—that is quite a different proposition.On the second point we heard about reviewing current mobility parking requirements and researching future needs. I heard the Minister say that she was satisfied that the status quo was suffice and that there was no need to do that. I then heard Greg Fleming say "No there is an unequivocal commitment to that." I'm really heartened to hear that. I would like to see the actual wording of the recommendation on that and I do hope that the Government members will table the list of recommendations as they have just committed to.On the third one we have heard things around car park operators. I'm really pleased that the previous speaker the Hon Scott Simpson discussed the importance of private parking. But I didn't hear the Minister herself also talk about the education campaign because what we are seeking here is a culture change. So she highlighted using cameras and using new technologies; I didn't hear about the more significant work to educate people and to change behaviours. This is really indicative of in my view the lacklustre—as my colleague said: the lacklustre—contribution of this Minister to champion the cause of the disability community. If she is indeed going to make all of these six recommendations happen which I really hope she does then let's hear that loudly and clearly because we did not hear that from her; we heard that far more clearly from the member over there—Greg Fleming—who very proudly said that those commitments would be made. So I apologise if I am confused.The need for this to be taken seriously is really important. It's not enough for us to sit here and discuss it and say that there will be reviews or there will be future actions. Action needs to happen quickly—I would like to hear time frames from the Government as to when they are going to make these commitments. I know that when my mother was very ill in her final stages of her terminal cancer journey she relied very heavily on the mobility packing ticket that she had that enabled her to be able to get out of the house. She was very lucky in Taranaki that people there did seem to respect it.Certainly I know people in my own electorate of Taieri where we have high levels of disability do have a culture of understanding. Now I'll probably get emails correcting me about that tomorrow but by and large I do see disability parking spaces respected and honoured because we have a culture in my electorate where there's high levels of visibility of disabled people. Many of us have disabled people in our neighbourhoods so we understand the importance of enabling our communities to be able to get out and have the best quality of life. But I know in the big cities that is not necessarily the case and we have heard that today from various members around this House.But I just want to say again it's great that these recommendations appear to have been adopted. What I've heard from members opposite is not the wording of the petition. That is what makes me cynical because I have heard them say that they will go to review they will go to the transport Minister they will go to other places. I have heard the Minister herself say in her own words that she thought the current settings for planning were adequate and therefore there was no need to do anything about that.So I would really like the last speaker in the debate from that side to be able to clarify all this for us so that we can hear unequivocally these commitments and to put some time frames around them please because the disabled community has been sadly let down this week. They will be feeling as cynical as I am about this. They need reassurance. So in honouring Claire Dale please provide some time-down commitments where they can start to trust again that this House is serving them."
