One of the things that I found interesting from the speech from the Minister and the speech from the Green member who has now resumed her seat is that one would think that that they have held these positions, particularly around water and water quality, for ever. Actually, no. Labour and the Greens have been late starters, latecomers, to the debate about improving the water quality of New Zealand. I remember, during the nine long years of the Helen Clark Government, not one thing was done—not one initiative, no legislation, no regulation, no improvement at all. Yet the Minister stands in the House today and says these are problems that have emerged over generations, over decades. He was in that Government. He was in that Labour Government of Helen Clark, and he had an opportunity then to do something and he did nothing—he did nothing. Listening to him in the House today, you would think that it had been a lifelong, cherished ambition for him to improve the water quality of New Zealand's fresh waterways. Sadly, that's not been the case of history or the record of this Parliament.
