On reflection, reconnecting New Zealand to the world, there have been welcome announcements made recently of travellers no longer needing a COVID pre-departure test to enter Aotearoa New Zealand. That is so important to our New Zealand borders that are being reopened, and I really look forward to a number of family and friends who will be visiting Aotearoa later this year. The COVID restrictions have meant people needed to stay home overseas. Especially to our closest neighbours, whānau in Australia, that trans-Tasman comradery-ship is really important, and we really look forward to seeing them. It's going to be a special time reconnecting with family, whānau, and aiga, and to have those special milestones.
