It is a fine day to be a New Zealander. It is a fine day to know that we live in a country that has so much to be positive about, so much that we can celebrate, and so much that we can look forward with optimism to. Just last month in this House our Government passed a Budget that we can be proud of, one that was focused on the future and focused on keeping New Zealanders safe from COVID-19, accelerating our recovery and rebuild, and tackling those foundational issues that we must tackle collectively: climate change, housing affordability, and child poverty. These are things that any responsible Government must take seriously. What we have to do is remain focused on the future. What we cannot afford to do is to slip into what we're seeing on the other side of the House in a desperate and destructive Opposition who are showing zero signs of unity, who are more concerned with their own divisions and with their past than with the future of Aotearoa New Zealand.
