As I often do in this House, I like to start my contributions in Te Reo Māori, and my contribution, given its being the first since the lockdown—so it's been a number of weeks, or a couple of months, since I've had the opportunity to speak in the House—I want to start fittingly by observing a farewell to those who have passed on during this time. I want to acknowledge just how hard it has been for whānau right across Aotearoa during these particularly unknown times in our country. I myself: my father's sister passed away during this time, and we stuck to the guidelines. She passed, sadly, on a Monday morning unexpectedly, and she was buried Monday afternoon, robbing my family and I of the opportunity to express our love, our gratitude, and farewell her appropriately while also supporting my cousins and our whānau during that dark time. So I want to acknowledge the whānau across the country who are enduring times like this, and I want to say to them all: we've heard them.
