Hon JUDITH COLLINS (Leader of the Opposition): The National Party supports the Government in this. When 47 people took the trip to Whakaari / White Island one year ago, they had no idea of what would come next when, at 2.11 p.m., the volcano blew its top, it covered the island with a thick cloud of ash, covering people in burns and having them breathe in toxic chemicals. Twenty-two people lost their lives as a result of the events of that day. Children were told their parents weren't coming home. Brothers, sisters, parents, and grandparents were left to grieve for loved ones taken from them too soon. Dozens of others had massive injuries; burns on up to 95 percent of their bodies. The physical and mental scars of this disaster will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
