Pōhutukawa: this is a time when we reflect on those that have passed. I want to acknowledge that over the past year, we have been afflicted by COVID and that we have lost many lives. I also too, just briefly, mention Hiwa-i-te-rangi, and the time that we look forward, cast our dreams and aspirations to the future. And it's going to be a great year ahead with Jacinda Ardern at the helm. Tēnā koe.
