Another case in point: last year, our Prime Minister made it clear that one of our priorities was the vaccine, to ensure the vaccine was accessible to our communities to keep our people safe. That is still our priority in 2022. Keeping people safe and accessibility of vaccine is grounded in what this side of the House stands for. As articulated by a very good friend of mine and colleague, the Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall, "Labour is in the fight against COVID because we believe that people's lives are worthy of protection, because our old, young, or disabled are equally members of our community as the economically or politically empowered."
