Dr GAURAV SHARMA (Labour—Hamilton West): Kia ora, namaste, and talofa, Madam Speaker. It's a pleasure tonight to take a call on the Appropriation (2022/23 Estimates) Bill as part of the Budget debate, dressed in this beautiful traditional dress of the Sherpa people of Nepal, as we celebrate 69 years of mankind's greatest achievements: the conquering of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. Thanks to members from across the political parties for joining me as I co-hosted the event today in Parliament, earlier on, with my colleague Vanushi Walters. But the celebrations haven't ended, because thanks to this Labour Government and the finance Minister Grant Robertson, we have a Budget because of which everyone has something to celebrate about.
