Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Housing): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Together we have risen to the challenge of COVID-19. It is together that we will get through this next challenging stage that we are about to embark on. As we watch case numbers grow, it is important that we stay together. That unity has got us to the unique position that New Zealand is in today, and it is continuing to look after each other that will get us through this next stage. I want to thank New Zealanders for looking out for each other and continuing to look out for each other as we see the Omicron numbers rising. And while the current protesters outside are attracting much of the conversation and much of the coverage that we're seeing in the media, I would like to point out: in the time those protesters have been here, literally hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders have gone and got their booster shot to continue to look out for each other, for their families, for their communities, and for their work colleagues. And I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to those people for doing that.
