We only need look at the natural disasters that have occurred when civil defence has been invoked, when we think about the western fires, when we think about the Kaikōura earthquake, and when we think about the Christchurch earthquake and how iwi Māori mobilised to support local government in order to respond—they were quick to put their hand up. When we think about the COVID-19 response, Māori and iwi organisations were quick to put their hand up with local government to say, "We can help our community; we are long-term contributors to the wellbeing of our community."
