Hon RON MARK: Your Government, Mr Smith, continued to govern, and I think, Mr Smith, you were still a Minister governing at the time that you were also negotiating and, Mr Smith, you became the Government again. The sky didn't fall in, the waves didn't come crashing over the oceans and destroy the city, there wasn't pestilence. We carried on. Why? Because, in Dr Smith's own words, New Zealand has a proud record of undisturbed democracy and smooth transition of power after elections from one party to another, and we have become internationally renowned for the way in which we manage transfers of power and a change of Government. In fact, Mr Smith's own comments right at the end of his speech undermined some of this interesting argument in the middle of his speech.
