Our targeted approach for Pasifika, as well as for Māori, is evidence-based. It will help eliminate, over time, the barriers and inequities we face, and significantly contribute to New Zealand's recovery and rebuild. The targeted approach is about recognising that the rebuilding of our Pacific economy requires us to work with everyone. That requires Government agencies trusting our communities to know what wellbeing means for themselves and that our communities have the capability to play a vital role—in fact, the leading role—in our economic recovery work. Right from the outset, we have worked, on this side of the House, hard to establish a genuine partnership between this Government and the wider Pacific community of Aotearoa. We acknowledge that New Zealand is a Pacific nation and that we're an integral member of the Pacific family within the vast, blue, Pacific context. Both the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister have worked hard—including the Minister of Defence—to maintain these links and lift our relationship to a higher level of cooperation and collaboration with Pacific countries. After all, we have a sizable Pacific diaspora that have strong historic and family links with the Pacific region.
