I speak here today as a resident of Wairarapa, the region that has had no active COVID cases for the longest period of anywhere else in the country. We as a region are proud of that because of the work that the front-line health workers have put in but also the effort that every one resident in Wairarapa has put into ensuring that they stuck to what needed to be done. It is that effort, the effort of everybody, that has put us, as a nation, in the position that we are in now. I want to take the opportunity to acknowledge them and acknowledge their efforts, not only for doing what needed to be done but for ignoring the nonsense that we are hearing from the other side of the House.
