I don't pretend that that has been easy. Those sacrifices, for many, have been incredibly difficult. Almost every family will have their own story, and my family are no different. In the early days of level 4 measures, my wife's grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and, unfortunately, with travel restrictions in place I wasn't able to see her before she passed away. She was a life member of the Labour Party and was known to many in this House and indeed stood twice for Parliament, to be here herself. That's a story replicated across the country, for many thousands of families and, indeed, many people in my electorate that I serve who could not be with family members in their final days or in their final hours. It's one of many heartbreaking sacrifices that Kiwis across the country made in the hope of defeating the virus and turning the corner quickly, and now it is the time to do that.
