Webb DuncanDr DUNCAN WEBB (Labour—Christchurch Central): Kia ora. Thank you Mr Speaker and I think it is fair to say as the last speaker pointed out that the burden of COVID-19 in this Delta outbreak certainly doesn't fall evenly. We need to be cognisant of that recognising for example that our friends and colleagues in Auckland are doing it particularly tough and that some businesses are hit a lot harder. Some are able to work remotely; some are essential services but others indeed struggle much more. There is a lot being done in that space with wage subsidies with resurgence support payments and I know that this Government won't stop looking at how to help so that New Zealand has a strong and resilient recovery. I know here in Christchurch we're lucky. The rest of the country outside of Auckland and Waikato are fortunate that we're emerging from this outbreak but even then I do want to recognise that some of those businesses are still struggling. I've been speaking in Christchurch Central to cafes like Belle Cafe in New Regent Street which is doing its very best to adhere to all the rules and that's how we get on top of it—and the theatres. Little Andromeda theatre a great little theatre—but it is difficult. Good Times Comedy Club—again a great little business in the centre of Christchurch. But I do also want to shout out to the Cashel Street pharmacy where not only are they managing to run a small business but they're delivering vaccines as well and Anabel Turley there is doing a great job running that pharmacy. And to all of those people who are delivering vaccines I know how hard they're working because I've heard from them personally. I know that they go home exhausted at night. I know that they're at the front the very forefront of the battle against COVID-19. But look the daffodils are absolutely up in Christchurch. Hagley Park is looking glorious. And it's great that people now because we have stuck together and followed the rules can get out and enjoy all of Christchurch and all of what's going on there. So look an absolute shout-out to those vaccinators. Vaccination absolutely is the key. There are so many good reasons to vaccinate. I was contacting some of my constituents asking them for their stories and I must say I got a few cheeky ones about who people would like to be spending more time with. But ultimately you know first and foremost we're vaccinating for ourselves because COVID is a horrific disease and to suggest that it's getting in some way less deadly or less virulent is truly pernicious. We need to make the message very clear that this disease kills people. It kills people from all walks of life from all ethnicities and all ages and we need to address that. And the best way to address that is through vaccinations but also for our whānau and our families and for our extended communities we by vaccinating protect them. So even if people have some hesitancy and for themselves wouldn't make that choice they should be doing it for the ones that they love so that we can get together and so that we can do things like go to funerals go to weddings and so on. And a shout-out to Sam and Dayna who got married recently. It was their third attempt not third marriage but third attempt of getting married to each other—twice cancelled. Third time they had a very modest wedding with 50 people strictly following those rules. But that's the sort of thing where it would be great if we're all vaccinated we can have those huge celebrations that we love so much. And of course so we can travel so that we can open up our borders so that we can get people from overseas who we love to see and of course our fantastic tourism industry.So you know what I say is: if you've got a hesitant friend have a chat to them. And can I just say don't argue with them. It's not about having an argument; it's about engaging. It's about listening. It's not just about telling and preaching. It's about listening and hearing concerns and addressing them but with facts not with falsehoods. And also look to experts not the internet. We need to make sure that our sources of information are trusted and not alarmist because there is a problem out there and each of us in this House need to be advocates to make sure that the misinformation is not spread to ensure that those people who are persuadable who might be wavering who might be listening to the wrong people are talked to and that that is addressed. But also let's just show compassion to others as well compassion to those who are working so hard compassion to some of those people who do things a bit differently. Some of our disabled community do feel under siege and I want to say: let's make sure that they looked out for. But most of all let's get vaccinated.
