SHANAN HALBERT (Labour—Northcote): Mānawatia a Matariki, Mr Speaker, and it's always a blessing to speak about the North Shore of Auckland in this wonderful House. Can I take a brief moment to acknowledge destination manager Kae Condon and the Birkenhead Town Centre Association for organising the very well-attended Birkenhead medieval fair last weekend. It's not often that I'll get to dress up in a tunic around in my community. The fair was supported by Minister Nash's Reactivating Tāmaki Makaurau fund and achieved its aim of encouraging locals and visitors alike to confidently come out into our town centre, enjoy our wonderful hospitality, and visit our local retailers now that the COVID wave has peaked. It was an excellent local example of how this Government is securing our recovery from COVID-19, and today I want to speak about how some of the initiatives in Budget 2022 are giving my community better resilience to face our local challenges.
