I stand here today proudly as the member of Parliament for Wairarapa. Wairarapa was the region that saw the first case of community transmission in this country. Wairarapa was also the first region to rid itself of COVID and stay COVID-free, and I am proud of that. The work that our essential workers and our health force did to get to that point was extraordinary. I want to take the opportunity not only to thank them but to thank those that continue to work across the country to help us keep the level of safety that we have and that we enjoy here.
