Hon Dr NICK SMITH (National—Nelson): There's a huge irony that at the time the world is grappling with the crisis of the coronavirus, the Government is wanting to ram through Parliament, only six months out from an election, a bill to give prisoners the vote. Doesn't that speak volumes about the priorities of the Government? Their preservation, because they think there might be a few more thousand votes from prisoners voting for them, is a priority for them over either respect for conventions around electoral law or, for that matter, the other issues that should be a priority for our Parliament.
