Dr JAMES McDOWALL (ACT): Thank you, Madam Speaker. In considering this bill to extend the extraordinary powers granted to the Minister of Immigration, we thought it prudent to reflect on the overall performance and outcomes achieved by Immigration New Zealand on the direction of the Minister since the enactment of the original legislation. ACT supported that legislation, as has been stated already, given the high degree of uncertainty caused by the novel coronavirus and, of course, the lack of an obvious vaccine—in fact, no one really knew if we were even going to get a vaccine in those days.
