BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I wish to talk today about mental health and wellbeing in New Zealand, and it's been a tough few years for New Zealanders. Through the COVID pandemic, we've seen a lot of people facing stress and anxiety—people who we never suspected would be struggling—reaching out for help from their friends and families, saying that they're not doing OK. We've heard from business owners who have been struggling, not knowing whether they'll have enough cash flow to keep going for another month, to keep employing their staff, who they know desperately need jobs to provide for their families. We've heard from parents who are worried about their children who won't get out of bed in the morning because they're not going to school any more. That's what has happened through these last few years with COVID, and the extended lockdowns that have forced children to stay at home away from their friends and their support networks.
