DAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): I rise on behalf of ACT in opposition to the third reading of the COVID-19 Public Health Response Bill. It's been quite a journey. I voted for the first two readings of this bill for a couple of reasons. It's better to have a law passed by Parliament that's been debated, even if urgently, that people can look to and know their rights. There was a chance, as this legislation progressed through the stages, that it could be made of sufficient quality that people really could rely on it to protect their rights. That was the hope. Unfortunately, as the debate on this bill has progressed, more and more dark downsides of the legislation have been revealed, and the Government has, by and large, failed to make the amendments that might have been helpful for protecting New Zealanders' rights and freedoms. That is a great shame.
