Rt Hon DAVID CARTER (National): Mr Speaker, before I comment on Budget 2020, I want to comment on the total rubbish that has just been spoken in this House by the Hon Chris Hipkins. This Government never went hard and never went early, and it doesn't matter how many times Labour members come down to this House and argue that they did. Let's follow the disease: first discovered late December in Wuhan, China, spread throughout China through January and to the rest of the world. I'll challenge any member on the other side to find in the media one single comment from a Labour Minister on COVID-19 through January, because you won't find one. They were busy on holiday and didn't realise the threat that was developing. There was a pandemic developing, and New Zealand was asleep at the wheel.
