Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Leader of the Opposition): I rise to speak on this matter, given its significance for New Zealand and globally, and also given the significant uncertainty there is in relation to this matter. I want to say from the outset, on the coronavirus, that the Opposition stand ready to collaborate and to work with the Government on this matter of great importance, in every facet of it. I myself have been thinking about it from very early on, when I heard about it in China, and making sure every single day I understand what is happening on it. Indeed, that's partly why my health spokesperson was very quick to call for actions in this area, and there's been some criticism of that, but I make no apology on an issue of this significance for the Opposition and National Party to hold the Government to account on it.
