There are many moments to be proud of as amember of government led by Jacinda Ardern. ECE teachers and teacher aides will have their pay increased after years of underfunding. We introduced the Winter Energy Payment, the BestStart payment for parents with babies, boosted the incomes of , families with the Families Package. This short list of achievements is something to be proud of. Just this past weekend, rugby resumed all across New Zealand.
Southern took on the Harlequins in Timaru; the Highlanders took on the Chiefs at Forsyth Barr —life is beginning to return to as normal as it can be in the time of aglobal pandemic. We are only able to do this because every New Zealander stepped up. Going hard and early required great sacrifice, and tragically some lives were lost.
But now Ithink our team of five million can reflect on the pretty big milestone of our achievements.

We cannot take this position for granted, as there could still be undetected cases in our communities, and there are still New Zealanders returning home from overseas. At Alert Level 1, New Zealand is now if not the most, then one of the most, open economies in the world. None of this happened by accident. And we will do it together. Because that is why IamanMP—to help, to make changes, to be avoice.

It may be hidden in our community but Age Concern Ashburton president Trish Small says it is out there and this week she is raising its profile as part of elder abuse awareness week. Mrs Small said abuse could include financial, psychological or physical abuse or even neglect.
The free phone number would put people in direct contact with Canterbury Age Concern who had people able to deal trained to help. However people could also call the Ashburton office if they just wanted to talk to someone about their concerns. More than half of those abused were over the age of 75, but while 40 per cent live alone, in two out of five cases the alleged abuser lived with the older person.

Elder abuse is an issue that is also picked up by other agencies such as health providers, police, lawyers, banks, iwi and other community groups. Our first activity briefings since before the lockdown was held last Thursday with councillors and it really illustrated just how much is going on right across the council, from regulatory services, infrastructure upgrades and maintenance programmes, right through to community engagement and business improvements.
Upgrades to the Rakaia Salmon Site are also making progress. The old toilets have now finished deconstruction, and the groundwork on the new facilities is now well under way. Some of the new toilet units have arrived onsite ready to be installed and the remaining two are expected to arrive this month. The new facilities will make areal difference to Rakaia's popular park and help to ensure there are adequate facilities available for everyone. In addition to the draft Ashburton Domain Development Plan that remains open for feedback, we will begin consulting on proposed changes to our Revenue and Financing Policy and Development and Financial Contributions Policy from next week.
The policies set out how council services and activities are funded and charged, and in relation to development contributions, it prescribes how these contributions are calculated and paid. For the Revenue and Financing Policy, the proposed changes relate to Elderly Persons Housing, stockwater and wastewater; while consideration is being given on whether or not to increase development contributions.
