Now, we are a water nation. We are a nation surrounded by beaches. Every summer, people flock to the beaches. Unfortunately, 82 preventable drownings took place last year—82. I'd just like to give a really big shout-out to all of our surf lifeguards out there, most of them volunteers. I spoke to a board member today before this speech, and I asked him "What will this mean for Surf Live Saving clubs and those who are carrying out the role of surf lifesavers in New Zealand?" The board member said that this operational grant is a game-changer for the sector and that it provides stability in terms of the delivery of services.
