Dr DUNCAN WEBB (Labour—Christchurch Central): Tēnā koe e Te Mana Whakawā. This nation has been built on a promise. From our inception, we wrote a promissory note, a document in which we undertook that every New Zealander would have the same protections, rights, and privileges. That promise was written in Te Tiriti, our founding document. In 1938, we came together as a nation and we extended that promise to a promise to protection against the suffering and deprivation which we saw in the Great Depression. In 1938, when the Social Security Act was first passed, Michael Joseph Savage promised to make New Zealanders secure against poverty, against illness, against infirmity, and against old age. That is a promise that, to this day, New Zealanders hold dear. We will not default on that promise. That is a cheque which this Government will honour. It will not be returned marked "insufficient funds", or, in modern parlance, in this store, the credit is good, and that social security card will not be declined.
