More support and resources are needed to tackle the high rates of family violence and deep deprivation—especially in the northern part of our electorate—and the lack of affordable housing in the Ōtaki electorate. Last term was a great start in reducing child poverty and inequality, tackling the housing crisis that we inherited from the previous National Government, and putting a real focus on climate change, but much more still needs to be done to ensure the wellbeing and living standards of all New Zealanders are raised. In my time in this House, I will be working tirelessly to progress this mahi.
