GOLRIZ GHAHRAMAN (Green): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise to very briefly speak on the Foreign Affairs (Consular Loans) Amendment Bill. As others have said, this is an important bill but it is very simple and timely. It's just the change to the statutory authorisation to give the Minister of Foreign Affairs explicit ability to issue or continue to issue consular loans to New Zealanders overseas when they need them. I've been in that position, as many have in the House, where we have been overseas or lived overseas, and it is heartening to know that we have consular support, including financial support, when and if we do need it. Of course, those types of supports have become more and more essential in a time of pandemic, and our connectedness with our overseas whānau has come to the fore or been challenged over the past 2½ years. So it's a technical bill, it's a simple bill, it's a timely bill, and we do commend it to the House.
