Rurawhe AdrianDr ELIZABETH KEREKERE (Green): Kia ora e te Māngai—ki a koutou. While listening to the Prime Minister's statement I started to reflect on the concept of mauri. Now mauri is the life force that we all have. Unlike wairua that exists beyond death mauri is something that's just particular to us. It is our strengths our skills the things that we care about. It's how we present ourselves in the world whether through our dress our hair. It's about the pronouns that we use. So when someone's mauri is recognised that life force glows. When someone is valued and they know that they're an important part of their whānau of their communities of the world those communities the mauri of it starts to glow. When it's not recognised it starts to fade and our mental health statistics show all of the people who have decided that it was the time to let that spark go out for ever. So I thought about who was recognised in this speech whose mauri was recognised in this speech: absolutely our Māori and Pasifika health providers; our communities who have been working so so hard in this pandemic; our border workers; all the people who have pulled together across the country; people with disabilities—and the new ministry that's been set up is really exciting. For me in the portfolios I hold I noticed that of the nearly 3000 words that were in that speech none of them were about rainbow communities. The Births Deaths Marriages and Relationships Registration Act was amended last year; trans people can now self-identify their gender on their birth certificates much much more easily and we're working on a process for people who were born overseas. That is very exciting. Conversion practices—second reading. I know that some people have really focused on the fact that there were some National MPs who voted against that. I would like to mihi to all of those who voted for it because actually that's where the movement is that's where the progress is. That is the thing that gives surety to our communities that with the next change of Government suddenly all those rights aren't going to disappear. So I am thankful for that. We were given an assurance last night that some of those basic things that are important inside rainbow communities—around what gender identity means what gender expression actually means and what that looks like inside our law—would be done when we amend the Human Rights Act; so we're very much looking forward to that. We're very proud as this party as part of this House to be looking at what does it mean then for who we prioritise in the funding that we give out. I'm very much looking forward to what the Budget brings this year of all the Budget bids that went out. But I just want to always think about how we can work together even when we disagree at the edges because when we're talking about people's mental health when we're talking about communities that are discriminated against in particular ways and very different ways—that we think of their mauri but we're also considering their mana and what is needed for them to express their needs either through the select committee process through the different ways that we reach out to community in the way that we do our work. For me it's really important and really something to think about every time we have this chance—the very limited chances that we have—to speak in this House and the platform that we have. Whose mauri is upheld and whose maybe is diminished just a little bit more because we exclude them?So I echo my colleague's comments. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else in the world through the course of this pandemic. Omicron—the numbers are not as bad as we thought and that is absolutely due to some of the systems that have been put into place. So the very last comment I want to make is that when we're looking at health when we're looking at the reforms a lot of things have been stopped and affected by this absolutely necessary but all-consuming focus on COVID. When we're thinking about mauri it's the health of all the other people that also matters here. Kia ora.DEPUTY SPEAKER: I understand this is a split call. I call Dr Gaurav Sharma.
