I recognise that this is no ordinary imprest supply bill. At $40 billion of operating expenditure and $12 billion of capital, this is a large authority to spend. It should be remembered that this is in fact a technical exercise to ensure that the money is available. All expenditure will still be subject to further appropriation. But the scale of the spending is the price that we have to pay. It's the price of making sure our public health system can operate and support New Zealanders. It's the price of people keeping their jobs and keeping their homes. It's the price of cushioning the blow to businesses and of keeping them afloat, and it's the price of making sure that the core of an economy exists that we can build on to recover in the way that New Zealanders want us to do.
