New Zealanders, as the Prime Minister said in her statement, have entrusted the Government with a huge responsibility, the responsibility of bringing New Zealanders and this country through a crisis. It has been hard. The decisions to close borders, to lockdown a country, to change the way we live our day-to-day lives are not decisions any Government wants to make, but these are decisions that had to be made to keep New Zealanders safe. And I'll pause here to state the reason why this is so important: on this side of the House, all lives are important and worth protecting, no one is expendable. Protecting the lives and livelihoods of New Zealanders has always been our driving force. No response will ever reach unattainable perfection, but most New Zealanders will agree, whatever their political stripes, there was nowhere else in the world that they would rather be.
