Before entering this House, I worked as a union organiser for the New Zealand Nurses Organisation. I believe in the power of unions and that our whole society is stronger when workers are organised to fairly achieve better outcomes that improve the lives of everyone. In my role it was a privilege to see the myriad ways our nurses are at the heart of our health system. So I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all nurses and to thank our nurses working in managed isolation and quarantine facilities. Your contribution towards keeping COVID at the border and keeping us all safe is immense, and I know that you and your families sacrifice much more than most people understand to do this work.
