    GUIDEGIG LAKES WEEKLY PAGE 15 21st Jul - 27th BULLETIN FIRST ON THE STREET No 760 WWW.LWB.CO.NZ • BUY • ACCOMMODATION • SELL • INFORMATION • JOBS • [email protected] Boom Scandal Gone I suppose 3 different MP’s in as many terms of government is par for the course in some electorates. Those contestable seats that flip and flop from Labour to National and back again. But here in the Clutha Southland, now Southland electorate we have been wrapped in the blue blanket of the National Party forever. Like it or not. I was excited when National chose a young progressive MP in Todd Barclay after Bill English went to the list. Not that I particularly care for National over Labour but because he was not a farmer. Maybe would give a hoot about the Wakatipu a tad more than Bill did, and that hope came to pass as Todd moved into the neighbourhood in Arrowtown. He spent time with the local business community and learnt what help we needed from central government. Then BOOM. Scandal and gone. Then along came Hamish Walker. Another likeable young bloke. Maybe a little more country than I would like but without a doubt a hard worker. He went into bat for all sorts of social, community and business-related concerns this huge and diverse electorate had. He was available at his Frankton office, answered calls and things were looking up. Life is about building relationships and with Hamish, hopes were high that the Wakatipu #getbumped at the Queenstown Ice Arena in our all new Ice would have a long-term advocate.

Question No. 1—Child Poverty Reduction 1. JACK BUCHAN (Youth MP for Hon Dr David Clark) to the Minister for Child Poverty Reduction: Will the Child Poverty Reduction Act 2018 reduce the 2.5 percent increase over the last decade of children living in households defined as living in poverty; if so, how? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Minister for Child Poverty Reduction): I thank the member for the question. The member is correct that, over the past decade, we have seen an increase in the before-housing-cost measure of child poverty—those families who are living on 50 percent or less of median income before housing costs.
