The Government's books are much healthier than expected. Interest rates are low. Now is the time for transformational investment across social services. Our people expect nothing less. In this Budget, I'm hoping to see a lot more than 0.3 percent of the total allocation targeting specific Māori disparities. We know how making positive impacts the wellbeing of Māori. We need a Budget that truly improves the quality of our lives for w'ānau through good jobs; high incomes; warm, affordable homes; and equitable access to health and education. This Government has an outright majority in this House; probably something we won't see again in my lifetime. They have the mandate to truly uplift the quality of life for our people if they have the will to, and they are running out of time to use it. We ask that this Government prioritise its focus on our people and that both sides of the House stop scrapping and focus on our people once and for all. Kia ora rā.
