VANUSHI WALTERS (Labour—Upper Harbour): Mr Speaker, tēnā koe. There's an important social convention as old as time that's unrecognised often in terms of its importance as part of our social contract. It's the little nod to strangers as we pass them. It's also how we ask our neighbours how they're doing. It's the acknowledgment of a person. It says, very simply, I see you. And in the unusual times we've been in, especially in Auckland, these small acknowledgments and the ability to see the broader community around us has taken on a much bigger meaning.
