TĀMATI COFFEY (Labour): I'm very pleased to take a call on this. Can I start by acknowledging the Ministers and the role that they've had to play in this—both Ministers Parker and Woods for their leadership in this space, acknowledging that this problem that we are dealing with through this bill is a hangover from previous Governments of both colours and it's those parties that have worked together around the Environment Committee table to be able to try and navigate a pathway forward. It's good, actually, for us to be able to put our politics aside and actually focus on the real need. That's the number one thing that Kiwis want us to come to this House and sort out is what's happening with our housing situation around the country. The Minister earlier talked about some of the great initiatives that are happening, but this is a really big problem and it's going to require lots of tools in the tool box. I listened to the previous speaker from the National Party, the Hon Scott Simpson, who talked about homeownership. Māori have only ever faced insecure homeownership situations. The highest rate of Māori homeownership was back in the 1980s where people could capitalise on the family benefit to be able to get themselves into homes, but it hasn't been that way for a very long time.
