TIM VAN DE MOLEN (National—Waikato): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Today marks the first day that large parts of the Waikato have returned to alert level 2, and the border freedoms, in particular, are a welcome relief. It's also my first opportunity to speak back in this House after the weeks of lockdown, and it's important that I do, to share the story of what's happened in the Waikato, because the Prime Minister has not bothered to come and visit our region. Ministers have not bothered to come and visit our region to understand how difficult it has been. The alert level 3 restrictions have been incredibly difficult for businesses in our region, for families in our region, and for our communities.
