The Speech from the Throne is written by the Prime Minister and delivered by the Governor-General. One of its purposes is to lay out Government's direction for the term and what it will focus on. The Governor-General said the Government's objectives were to keep New Zealanders safe from Covid, accelerate the economic recovery and to "lay the foundations for a better future". "For those countries where the virus is successfully managed, the Government will look for opportunities for freer travel. We will look to continue to advance these opportunities, but with safety as our priority." Dame Patsy then said that the Government was "hopeful that 2021 will be the year of the Covid vaccine". "Recent news of the progress in vaccine development is welcome and a bright spot on the horizon," Dame Patsy read. "This will be a central focus for the Government next year. "The Government is working to deliver effective and free vaccines to New Zealanders as soon as they are available and safe to administer." The Government has agreed to buy vaccines from Pfizer and Janssen, subject to the successful completion of clinical trials and passing necessary approvals in New Zealand. Last week, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins said they had not yet decided whether it would be free, the Spinoff reported. In the Speech to the Throne, Dame Patsy said New Zealand "faces the greatest public health emergency since the global flu pandemic a century ago". "The ensuing economic shock represents the largest global downturn since the Great Depression," Dame Patsy read. She said the health risk posed by the pandemic was greater now than when New Zealand first closed its borders. "We have more freedoms, are a more open economy and have saved more lives than nearly every other country we normally compare ourselves to. We can rightfully be proud of our success to date as a nation, as a team. But we cannot afford to be complacent, nor stand still. "We must keep going." The speech committed the Government to "being a Government that will govern for all New Zealanders" "It does mean it will have a focus on the things that matter most, it means it will be listening to New Zealanders, being pragmatic, doing the things it said it would do and focusing on lasting change.
"We can recover and we will recover. We can be better than we were.
"This Government’s mission is to make it so."

Route changes for rubbish truck drivers from November 30 will mean that some people have their bins picked up earlier than before.
Residents in central, east and south Auckland should place their bins at the kerb by 7am to ensure you don't miss out.
If your household already has an early start, that will not change.
New electric trucks are being rolled out for kerbside collections.
The first joined Waiheke Island earlier this year and the next truck is soon bound for Papakura.
When food scrap collections are introduced in 2023, all food scraps trucks will be electric.
Auckland Council said it has been "standardising rubbish collection services across the region, while also setting a goal of zero waste to landfill by 2040."
About 10,000 tonnes of recycling and 15,000 tonnes of rubbish are collected in the region every month.
Do you like the design of this new electric truck on Waiheke Island?

Auckland Transport is calling for feedback on plans to boost safety for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
People have until December 11 to make submissions on plans to reshape the centre island, install raised traffic islands and paint new road markings to help guide cornering drivers.
The proposed changes aim to reduce speed for drivers approaching the traffic circle and to install safe crossing places for pedestrians.
