Dean Jacqui: General DebateText is incorporated into the Bound VolumeDean Jacqui: General Debate[Sitting date: 23 July 2014. Volume:700;Page:19377. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]JACQUI DEAN (National—Waitaki):What is Labour’s policy solution for everything? Talk it down say how bad it really is and then throw some money at it. That will do it—that will absolutely do it. Oh and have a Minister. Labour members say “Let’s form another committee. Let’s have another Minister.” Who is that going to benefit? Oh yes that is right—it is going to benefit themselves.Do you think—or does one think; thank you Mr Assistant Speaker—that after flying in over South Canterbury’s beautiful water storage facility the Ōpuha Dam; the highly productive dairy factories one under full operation one just about to be commissioned; and the most beautiful farms in South Canterbury with grain stores glistening down below and new sheds everywhere including milking sheds and landing at the Timaru airport and this happened last week David Cunliffe apologised to South Canterbury for how badly the region is doing? And as he crossed the brand-new $20 million Kurow bridges with their own cycle lanes creating 150 jobs regionally on the way through the reinvigorated towns of Kurow of Otematata and of Ōmārama following the $3 million Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail do you think that Mr Cunliffe apologised to the locals for the new business opportunities and the incredible new tourist traffic that is now running through the region? And do you think after he recovered from his 2 days—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): Order! Many times the member has brought me into the debate. You cannot mention “you” being the Speaker.JACQUI DEAN: Thank you so much—thank you so much for your help Mr Assistant Speaker. And do the Assistant Speaker and the members of the House think that once Mr Cunliffe did recover from his 2 days in beddy-byes with his man flu he enjoyed all the magnificence that Queenstown offers from the restaurants to the magnificent high life to the skiing? Some of my spies reported to me that some time last week there was seen on the slopes of Cardrona ski field a man in a red scarf desperately trying to be noticed. But do you think that—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): Order!JACQUI DEAN: Oh right. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. It is just that I am so enthusiastic about the topic I cannot help but try to include the Assistant Speaker in the conversation but I will not do that any more. But does one think that Mr Cunliffe then apologised to the people of Queenstown for how well their local economy is doing with the expansion of the Queenstown airport and with the commitment of Air New Zealand to bringing tourists both domestic and international into the region? And do you think he apologised to the wineries?Do you think—to the House—that David Cunliffe when enjoying a Pinot noir or a little Pinot gris perhaps for his cold apologised to the wineries and said how awful it was for them? And what about the cherry producers the pip fruit producers and the apple producers who are producing so much that this Government had to respond by increasing the Recognised Seasonal Employer numbers and in fact creating a new seasonal worker programme down south to assist New Zealanders into the region and into work?You see what we are having to do with Central Otago is have programmes to bring workers into the regions. Unemployment is so low in Central Otago and the whole region is so productive that we need programmes to bring people into the region. There are jobs all right. There are jobs in Central Otago all right and we are creating them. David Cunliffe should apologise. David Cunliffe should apologise because the South Canterbury and Otago regions are doing just fine.Things do not feel so hollowed out when the Winter Games NZ or the Queenstown winter festival are in full swing or when the BMX world championships or the Wānaka triathlon festival are all go—all supported by what? All supported by this Government. Things do not feel hollowed out to the 11 Otago companies supported by the Venture Investment Fund or to the initiatives in the meat and wool industries through the Primary Growth Partnerships or to the towns of Queenstown—or what about Ōāmaru or Dunedin city which have been supported with their ultra-fast broadband upgrade? And what about the hundreds and hundreds of small businesses that now benefit from the Rural Broadband Initiative and the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise capability development programme?
