Hon RON MARK (Minister of Defence): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise to give New Zealand First's support to this COVID-19 Response (Further Management Measures) Legislation Bill, and I do wish to start by thanking and acknowledging the work—in Mr Woodhouse's words—of what was a herculean effort on the part of officials, who were able to so swiftly knock together a good piece of legislation, which has been improved by the parliamentary process and the contributions of all of those parties and individuals who make up the Epidemic Response Committee.
