TERISA NGOBI (Labour—Ōtaki): Thank you, Madam Speaker, for the opportunity to speak in this House of change, my first speech for 2022. I'm proud to stand here not only as the member for Ōtaki but also in support of the Prime Minister's statement. That's where I'd like to start—just by thanking our Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern and our Ministers for, essentially, saving my family's life. I mean that not just as a backbencher but as someone who lives in the Ōtaki electorate and knows what could have been if it wasn't for this Government. I know that my mum and my dad are very vulnerable; my children, my husband, and our neighbours, and the people we love around us. I get it every day—messages of absolute gratitude that we put lives and families first. We put the health of our people in New Zealand first, and I am grateful to this Government, our leaders, and especially our Prime Minister for that.
