Over the last week or two, thousands of New Zealanders would have been having the exact same conversations with those closest to them, which is why, above all else, I would like to thank those who are working together in a safe and responsible way to support those most in need. Our nurses, pharmacists, doctors, midwives, paramedics, medical laboratory scientists, kaiāwhina workers, social workers, aged care and community workers and caregivers more generally, our police officers, customs officials, people providing emergency housing for others, our food suppliers and delivery drivers, supermarket staff and dairy owners: thank you. Thank you to every one of you for being there for us when we needed it the most.
