Hon JULIE ANNE GENTER (Green): Tēnā koe, Madam Speaker. Tēnā koutou e te Whare. The Green Party is supporting the bill. We did not support the urgency motion, but we do think the bill is perfectly reasonable and that there are extenuating circumstances. COVID has changed everything for everyone and it has resulted in quite an additional workload to the Auditor-General for issues that are not statutory requirements but are very much in the public interest. Many of the audits they've undertaken related to COVID have meant that they've had less capacity. Of course there's issues affecting the workforce. That's made clear in the disclosure statement, and that's something that is affecting many institutions and organisations across New Zealand at the moment, again, related to COVID. So a two-month extension is reasonable, it's simple, and it's going to mean that the proper scrutiny can be applied to annual reports. We do want that proper scrutiny.
