Hon SHANE JONES: It will not surprise the House to know far more announcements will fill the village halls, the maraes, and a host of other places around New Zealand as the leaders within our various regions wait with bated breath. However, there are a host of very important commercial considerations and various probity considerations to be thoroughly examined by the officials, not the least of which are those located in the Provincial Growth Fund. Kiwis expect public money to be spent wisely. They expect not to be let down and that where the funds are dedicated, jobs will flow, long-term resilience outcomes can be achieved, and they know the level of boldness and the level of willingness to spend money to keep the economy going, to train people, and to upgrade our infrastructure is at a level never seen before in a long period of time.
