SIMON WATTS (National—North Shore): Madam Speaker, thank you very much for the opportunity to talk on the Education and Training (Grants—Budget Measures) Amendment Bill second reading. I obviously stand on behalf of the National Party and as the member of Parliament for the North Shore. National oppose this bill. And I'll tell you what, as a father of two young boys that have been through the early childhood system, I do want to compliment all of those early childhood teachers and support staff that work throughout that sector, particularly those in my home electorate of the North Shore who do an absolutely wonderful job for our tamariki, our young children, in equipping them well for the challenges of the future.
