I want to start by thanking Ngāi Tahu and the Murihiku Regeneration Collective for hosting us here today.
Tena koutou katoa and thank you all for being here and welcoming me to your annual conference.
Kia ora koutou. Thank you for your warm welcome.

Good morning, and thank you to the BNZ for hosting this pre-Budget speech.
