Hon LOUISE UPSTON (National—Taupō): Thank you, Madam Chair. I understand the new format in terms of a series of questions back and forward across the committee of the whole House, and that's the model I intend to follow. I just want to start by putting on record that the total Vote Social Development appropriation is just shy of $44 billion. I accept it's a significant vote that we are discussing in this first component of the Estimates debate for 2022-23.
