As a nation, we recently held a moving ANZAC Day commemoration. So now is a good time to reflect on how we treat our military personnel during and after their service. It speaks volumes about who we are as New Zealanders.

Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.

Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.

Can New Zealand do more to ensure that past, present and future service people - and their whānau – are recognised and supported?

I would like to say THANK YOU to all the people that worked behind the scenes during lockdown. Yes, we thanked the doctors, nurses, police, emergency departments, chemists, and other frontline people. I appreciate what they have done for us and they have my sincere thanks.

I just feel there are a group of people that do not get any recognition such as the rubbish and recyclable collectors that continued to "clean up" our rubbish.

I am sure there are so many people we do not know about such as administration jobs behind the scenes to make sure it all worked smoothly.

If I have not mentioned any group, please let us all know so they can also get to be acknowledged for their generous contribution in keeping us safe.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME AND MY DEAREST ONES
