Hon MEKA WHAITIRI (Minister of Customs): E te Māngai o te Whare, tēnā koe, otirā, e ngā mema katoa, tēnā tātou katoa. Mr Speaker, it's my first contribution in the 2021 year. Can I please send my salutations to yourself and to our presiding officers, and of course my mihi to my fellow colleagues in the House today. We are in unprecedented times, and before I go there can I just please acknowledge your leadership and that of the Business Committee in ensuring our electoral offices around the country were given clear guidelines in the recent alert level changes for Auckland and the rest of the country. Can I just say that on the record to acknowledge that. What's happening in Auckland—I just want to acknowledge the pressure that is brought to bear on whānau, businesses, and, of course, workers, and the flow-on effects it has in terms of level 2 around the country.
