Penk Chris; Rurawhe AdrianCHRIS PENK (National—Helensville): Oh thank you very much Mr Speaker. I would like to talk about nothing. I would like to talk about the bits of the Prime Minister's statement that have actually delivered for my area and the bit that the Government has delivered in my portfolio which as I say—Hon Scott Simpson: Nothing.CHRIS PENK: —is nothing. That's right. So we've heard a lot about the infrastructure spend or at least the announcement of the infrastructure spend. On this side of the House there seems almost to be an unhealthy competition to point out how little is actually meaningfully going to happen for our respective areas that we represent. Part of the issue is that the South Island hasn't received very much not even by way of announcement let alone delivery and then you've got parts of the North Island that have been excluded because some other parts supposedly at least are going to be benefiting.One of those is Auckland and I would almost put Auckland in quote marks because my area—that is Helensville—being the rural north-west of Auckland has also missed out. So it's a bit galling for the good people of the Helensville electorate when we hear how well the area of Auckland is going to be doing out of the Government's infrastructure announcement spend.I've said before in this House and I'll continue to say it that the Government's lack of planning for transport in that area has not only meant that we have not made progress in the last two-and-a-bit years but in fact we've effectively gone backwards. That is because of the illusion of light rail—light as in light on detail. I was going to suggest that it was light years away except that I know that light year" is actually a measurement of distance rather than time. So let's just say that it is inconceivably far away in terms of time that we will have light rail to the north-west. The problem with that is that every time that I attend a meeting with various transport-related authorities on the subject of needing better transport infrastructure for the area the elephant in the room is the fact that we've at least nominally got on the table in the plans—somewhere somehow—light rail that's going to go to the north-west and we simply don't. It is behind in the planning the other light rail project in Auckland that which was to have been completed by 2021 which we all know and it's no secret—in fact if anything it's the punchline to a rather well-known joke. It is nothing like realistic and so it is that the good people of the Helensville electorate have got less than nothing in terms of infrastructure and transport delivery by this Government.As for the area that I represent in the policy sense—I'm the Opposition spokesperson for courts—I'd like to highlight again on the subject of nothingness the fact that reforms that have been promised and consistently highlighted by the current Government pre-dating even the time that they were the Government and reaching back into the time that the current justice Minister and Minister for Courts was I think at the time justice spokesperson—certainly a senior figure in the Opposition as it then was decrying the changes to the Family Court that the previous National Government had made. It's acknowledged by many within the sector that further changes are needed and we can consider any changes that the Government comes up with in good faith and we will do so.However the issue is again we can characterise this as a great big nothingness and extending the "light years" metaphor maybe I could say it's fallen into a black hole of working groups. We've had a review but there's no tangible indication of when we might actually get some legislation introduced to change the law to reform the law that the Government insists is so broken. If the answer is so easy to the question of what can or should be done then for goodness' sakes why have we not had that answer yet? If it's true as they claim that the root of all evils in this space was the reforms of the National Government in the middle of those nine glorious years then why do they not simply reverse by way of repealing those and end up in the utopia that they no doubt would believe would then ensue? So again in the courts portfolio more specifically the Family Court: nothing.I'll reserve my final period of time on my feet to discussing the situation of drought that's affecting not only Northland but North Auckland down to the Harbour Bridge. That area which I represent within that is really suffering at the moment. I've written to the Minister for primary industries asking for something extra beyond the $80000 that's been allocated for that massive stretch of land that's currently suffering greatly. We would love some help in the Helensville electorate for that.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): I understand this is a split call. I call Gareth Hughes—five minutes."
