But the devil we know, business as usual, isn't our future; it simply cannot be, and we heard that in the many submissions to the Finance and Expenditure Committee. "Business as usual" is not our future, because it is those very settings that drove the greatest wealth inequality in this country, on record. It gave us the housing crisis. In "business as usual", Aotearoa New Zealand produces four times the amount of climate change emissions than the limit required to keep our planet under 1.5 degrees of warming. Everybody deserves security and hope to be free from this exhaustion, but we will not get there by focusing on individualistic, short-term ideas, such as those that have been floated by the Opposition. It is that kind of thinking that has created this exhaustion in the first place. It is only by working as a collective—the infamous team of 5 million—that we will create security and hope and a better future for all of us, it is in realising our strength and working together and pooling our resources to do bigger and greater things than any one of us could do by ourselves.
