Dr LIZ CRAIG (Labour): Thank you, Mr Speaker. In September 2019, the words "school strike for climate" ended up scrawled across the wall next to my office. They were scrawled in chalk, and so—as they've been protected from the elements—I've decided to leave them there as an impermanent reminder of the voices of young people in our region calling for urgent action on climate change. Since then, the effects of climate change across our country have been all too clear. I think, for me, what I most vividly remember is the day of the Mataura floods, and the day that the Mataura River broke its banks and it flooded the low-lying homes in Mataura. But it also threatened the aluminium dross that had been stored in the paper mill next to the river. I also remember the hospitality of the Murihiku Marae, as they took people in who had been evacuated from their homes, and also the way that the community turned out afterwards to help people recover. But I think with the issue of climate change projecting these events happening—they're much, much more likely.
