Hon PRIYANCA RADHAKRISHNAN: We have over 213 ethnicities represented across Aotearoa. We collectively speak over 160 languages. Our ethnic communities make up nearly 20 percent of New Zealand's population. This is the first time that they will have this level of representation in the public sector. It's the first time that we will have a chief executive whose sole focus is lifting the wellbeing of our ethnic communities and who will have a seat at the top table. The ministry's been a long-held ambition of our ethnic communities, and I'm proud to be part of a Government that has heard that call and responded to it.
