Hon RON MARK (Minister of Defence): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise in response to the conversation by the last member, Chris Penk, about the word "unprecedented". I have to say it gives me absolute pleasure and delight as the Minister for Veterans and the Minister of Defence to be able to speak on the 2020 Budget and, a little bit more broadly, on what we've been able to do over the three years of this amazing term—a term which, in defence circles, has already been labelled as the golden years for the New Zealand Defence Force, the Ministry of Defence (MOD), and veterans.
