KIERAN McANULTY (Labour—Wairarapa): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Before I start my speech, I want to acknowledge the fact that today, the Ministry of Health have reported 24 deaths of people with COVID-19, two of which were from Wairarapa. These are the first deaths that my region, our region, has seen since the pandemic began, and this will hurt. We are a close-knit community. These are people's family members, they are people's friends, and the region will be hurting. I wanted to take the opportunity to express my heartfelt and sincere condolences to those that are impacted by those deaths today.
