Brooking RachelRACHEL BROOKING (Labour): Thank you Mr Speaker. It's great to be able to talk about our super Super Saturday. I live in the beautiful Ōtepoti and spend a lot of time around the south of Te Waipounamu. But like many members before me including the member across the floor who is also a list MP based in Dunedin the Hon Michael Woodhouse I want to acknowledge the effort that Auckland is going to and how they are doing that for the entire country. I want to acknowledge how hard it is particularly if you've got small children to be in lockdown. So thank you to Auckland for doing that for the rest of us.In terms of Super Saturday down south I thought I'd start with talking about Queenstown and Wānaka part of the Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) rohe. Now Queenstown they're all about the vaccine in Queenstown it turns out—they're aiming for a 95 percent double vaccination ASAP. So they are already at in the latest summary I saw 94.6 percent with a single vaccination. Super Saturday also had a great—well that's for the whole of the QLDC so Wānaka is part of that as well. They had a wonderful drive-through event that had lots of people there and in Queenstown you were able to get your vaccine on a historic steamboat in the harbour there and even get a coffee which is great to see the community coming together to provide those sorts of opportunities.So why is Queenstown so focused on getting such a high vaccine rate? Well one of the reasons is that people like to visit Queenstown. It's very beautiful and the population there wants to be protected from those future visitors. On the other side of the coin it's a destination that wants people to come and visit. It's very good to demonstrate that they have a very high vaccine uptake. So I've spoken to Mayor Jim Boult about this and he's very keen to get those 94.6 percent up to 95 percent and over and then for them to get their second shot as soon as they can—after three weeks of course. So we really want to let the visitors in and keep the COVID out.There's other parts of beautiful Otago as well and I can't touch on all of them because there's so many but in Central Otago there's 87 percent have had their first vaccination and 72 percent are fully vaccinated. Waitaki at 81 percent single and 69 percent double. The media there noted that Timaru and Canterbury were beating them so hopefully that'll be changed around very quickly. In Waitaki on Super Saturday the Department of Conservation was offering rides to clinics which I thought was quite innovative. Where I live in Ōtepoti there's been 90 percent first vaccinations and 76 percent second. On Super Saturday there were 75 sites around the southern region which includes both Southland and Otago. The DHB tells me that at one of the places you could get your eyebrows waxed while you waited. There was 9706 doses given and 811 of those were given to Māori.In Dunedin where I live I'd like to touch on the role that Te Kaika has played. This means the village" and it is a provider that opened in 2018; it's a partnership between Ngāi Tahu and the University of Otago and I was lucky to visit it with Minister Henare back in April to talk about the vaccine roll-out particularly to our Māori and Pasifika communities. Now Te Kaika is super-responsive so from very early on in this current outbreak they were doing pop-ups in stadiums they were doing pop-ups by the university and now there's a bus as well. All of this has been done in conjunction with the DHB; the university has been involved and so has the council. So it's been great to see and that all cumulated on Saturday in The Octagon with again members from across the House turning up the university being there the museum offering scientific advice to people who were wanting it and a whole lot of arts and community groups being involved as well as businesses.So I really want to finish by saying to those people who are not yet vaccinated or who have not yet had their second dose to please do. The vaccination has amazing benefits for those who are vulnerable and to enable letting those visitors back in and keeping COVID out. Thank you."
