what kind of impact has this had on the news new zealand people, feel, and the community? i think the prime minister of new zealand, jacinda ardern, has summed up her nation's thoughts once again. she did it after the mosque attacks in march of this year in christchurch, and she said after the eruption of white island, almost exactly a week ago, that this was an extraordinary tragedy that has saddened and shocked so many people. of course, she spared a thought for the relatives of those unaccounted for, and their grief must be unimaginable. and we also imagine that, during that minute's silence, people in new zealand and elsewhere will be sparing more than a thought for about 20 people who remain in intensive care with very serious burns in new zealand, and here in australia. there was a report last week, rico, that new zealand health authorities were requesting 1.2 million— 1.2 million — square centimetres of donated skin to help in the surgery of those burns victims. so those survivors will be in the thoughts of new zealanders when they pause for a moment in about an
