To those in the Waikato, I would say that I'm sorry I haven't been able to influence this Government more. I have heard your challenging stories. It has been incredibly difficult for you, and I wish I could have done more. But I am sorry also that this Government has let you down. Your businesses and your families should not have had to suffer like this. A bit more leniency, a bit more understanding, a bit more compassion—those are things that could easily have been managed, and it would have made such a difference for people all across the Waikato region.
