I know many of us will have seen firsthand the events that unfolded on the grounds of Parliament yesterday afternoon. I was finishing a meeting on the other side of the building when I heard the sirens of the Fire Service. I stood in one of the Beehive offices as I watched the flames billow up from the front lawn of Parliament. The playground had been set alight. But as I was watching what was unfolding, Parliament continued. The debate in the House was being broadcast into the office, and as I watched the flames I could hear my colleague Barbara Edmonds speaking in the Chamber. She was talking about one of her family members who had recently become infected with COVID-19. It was her niece, who was only six weeks old; a newborn who struggled to breathe because of this pandemic that we are all working so hard to get safely on the other side of. It was hard to square. Here was a violent protest, full of anger, in response to measures that are designed to do no more than keep other people safe.
