Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Prime Minister): Yes. In particular I stand by our approach to COVID, which has always been to take cautious steps forward, to let systems bed in, and to ensure as much certainty and safety as possible for New Zealanders. Because of these actions, we have seen Auckland case numbers and hospitalisations continue to decline while we have steadily lifted restrictions. We're continuing this move forward with almost all of the country moving into orange on 11.59 p.m. on 30 December. This will follow two weeks after boundary restrictions are removed to give us greater certainty as we move forward. There are alternatives to our confident but cautious plan. There are those who will call to move faster, to abandon protections, and to hastily lift restrictions. We know from international experience that those who have done that have had to re-impose restrictions. Our plan seeks to move forward carefully but also to make progress.
