Kia Ora Koutou Katoa,
Gosh it feels like we’ve lived a lifetime this year and many people I know will be happy to see the end of 2020. While I want to acknowledge the absolute hardship a lot of people have endured this year, I also want to express my gratitude for you as well. I have been reminded so much by so many of you this year, that caregivers are resilient and selfless in their commitment to our most vulnerable. I have also been reminded that caregivers represent hope. Hope that there is a better life for our children, hope that the future may be brighter and hope that even if the system gets it wrong that the caregiver will make it right. I feel grateful to work alongside some truly amazing people and laugh with some crazy, gorgeous people. I am thankful for you all and I hope you realise just how awesome you are. Have a safe and loving Christmas with those that matter most.
