Salesa JennySORAYA PEKE-MASON (Labour): Firstly I'd like to pay a tribute to the whānau and those that lost loved ones in Kahungunu. I had the opportunity to visit there last week to help support our Ministers to support whānau and our marae. Sadly when I drove down some of those streets it reminded me of a Third World country.Secondly I'd like to also acknowledge and pay tribute to Georgina Beyer. During the time that she visited Rātana she was a trailblazer; she was dedicated passionate and committed to all the causes that she represented. E moe e moe e moe mai rā e te anahera tapu. Haere ki te torona o Ihoa o ngā Mano.[Rest in peace sacred angel. Travel to the throne of the Lord God.]I stand to support the Prime Minister's statement. In particular I want to focus this discussion this speech on tackling the country's infrastructure needs and in particular it's the housing issue the shortfall that we had inherited. Before entering Parliament I was a member of the Whanganui Community Foundation Trust. In recognising this critical issue they decided to tweak their strategy to develop policy to help to address this issue at a local level. In developing this policy they received an application from an organisation called the Wai-Ora Trust. This organisation nurtures inter-generational prosperity and wellbeing within the community. They also provide opportunities for whānau to reach their potential through social services that they deliver on training and also employment. This is a humble dedicated passionate organisation that has served for many many years—with volunteers a lot of the time—in our communities. Their focus has been on low socio homelessness and the critical shortage of housing more recently. So in 2019 they established Te Kākano Kāinga Ora. It's a company that they've established to meet the housing need through offsite manufacturing and developing short-term supported accommodation on sites.Many examples like this organisation across the motu help to address the issues of the critical housing shortage that we have in this country. These organisations and others will go some way towards supporting the residential investment and we are committed to providing the confidence that we need to our developers.I think also about another local entity an entity that I recently went to an opening of in terms of one of their initiatives Tamaūpoko Community Led Trust. They assist communities along Te Awa Tupua o Whanganui—small rural communities like Hiruhārama Rānana Matahiwi and Pipiriki. They aim to make a difference by listening to the voices of their people and delivering on projects which they consider to be important to them to their health to their wellbeing and to their welfare. On the weekend when I attended this opening—the opening was about a project and a community hub that they called River Valley. It was it was a whakaaro that was developed by the locals. They turned an old homestead near Rānana into a multi-purpose community hub. And I want to quote from the CEO Daryn Te Uamairangi: We listened to our local whānau and what they needed was a multi-purpose space to operate a Civil Defence station facilitate health services and primarily care for our kaumātua … where they can come to a whare just to be themselves." The hub will be equipped with a tele-health clinic. I want to acknowledge the next generation of this group: Tiara Shevvy Isobel Ariana and the team who are our future generation. I want to also acknowledge the words of my colleague Minister Mahuta; she discussed innovative solutions. These are examples of solutions by locals for locals who know what the needs are in their community. I support our Prime Minister's statement. Kia ora.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): The next call is a split call. I call on Barbara Kuriger."
