I want to take this opportunity to reflect on the journey that this bill has taken to get to its third reading here today. The journey began in 2019 when the then Minister, the Hon Tracey Martin, initiated a first principles review of financial assistance for caregivers. I think it's important at this time that we thank and acknowledge the 15,000 caregivers across the country who provide day-to-day care for 24,000 children in New Zealand whose parents are unable to provide care for them themselves. Now, the review that Minister Martin initiated looked at the foster care allowance, and that supports children in State care, and the orphan's benefit and unsupported child's benefit, which support tamariki outside of the State care system.
