I was the Minister responsible for introducing paid parental leave for self-employed new parents for the first time in New Zealand—not available in many other countries. I won funding to completely eliminate the adult cochlear implant waiting list, introduced caregiver qualifications which were matched with wage increases, developed a new model of aged care which was driven by quality of life rather than cleanliness of floors, moved disabled people from institutions into homes in their community and from sheltered workshops into fairly paid work, and—thank you, Michael—I won funding to increase the contract level for all essential social services to 100 percent rather than the 60 or 80 percent they were getting. Unfortunately, that money had only just started being put into contacts when the Government changed, and Bill English and Paula Bennett reversed the policy and left the services at less than full funding.
