Dr DEBORAH RUSSELL (Labour—New Lynn): Mr Speaker, it's a genuinely welcome opportunity to speak on this long-term fiscal report, because it's one of the few times when the House can look a long way down the track and engage in debate seriously about the choices Government should be making. But it's worth remembering that this particular long-term fiscal report from Treasury was prepared against the background of the greatest crisis we have faced—perhaps for a generation—in terms of the global pandemic. And it is an ongoing crisis; COVID is not over, and we need to reshape our new normal to fit this ongoing crisis of COVID. So it's an extraordinary challenge for the Government of the day.
