Hon RON MARK (Minister of Defence): I can assure the House that while Parliament was in recess over the summer break, our women and our men in uniform have been very busy. In the community last week, an NH-90 helicopter with 11 personnel, two Unimog trucks, and 13 soldiers deployed to Southland to help people trapped by flooding; as part of the Government response to the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak, the Tamaki Leadership Centre in Whangaparāoa, with the support of New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) personnel, has been used as an accommodation facility for those in isolation after being evacuated from China; and many of you would have seen the brilliant Tri-Service Guard, Tri-Service kapa haka group, the Black Falcons fly-past, the army chefs, the military bands, and HMNZS Waitangi all at Waitangi this year supporting a range of events, including the opening of Te Rau Aroha, the Māori armed forces museum.
