It's a privilege and an honour to be able to bring the Holidays (Parent-Teacher Interview Leave) Amendment Bill to the House for its first reading. Firstly, though, can I mihi to the Hon Kiritapu Allan, as this is my first opportunity to speak in the House since the news of her wero. I want to acknowledge, as a newbie settling in, that Minister Allan showed tautoko, aroha, and guidance to our class of 2020. Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui e hoa.
