MARK CAMERON (ACT): Thank you, Madam Chair, for the opportunity to question the Minister through the annual review process. We were assured that this Government would be transformational, the problems that it addressed would be fixed and altered—a change for a better New Zealand. Why hasn't this happened in rural New Zealand? Child poverty is worse, better educational standards are falling, and remedying housing issues in rural New Zealand couldn't be any worse under this Government.
