CAMILLA BELICH (Labour): Thank you, Mr Speaker. It's an honour to rise to take a call in this general debate, and like many of my other Auckland-based colleagues I will be speaking about Auckland / Tāmaki-makau-rau. It has been such a difficult time for so many in our biggest city. Much of the hard work of protecting New Zealanders has fallen to Aucklanders, and while this may not be like battles we have faced in the past, be in no doubt: it was a battle, and still is. We have stayed at home. We have cancelled so many plans. We have worn our masks. We have walked the same routes in our local areas again and again. But, most importantly, we have gotten vaccinated: over 90 percent first doses, and coming close to 90 percent second doses. This has been due to the hard, hard work of so many health and community workers, and they have my thanks.
