BRETT HUDSON (National): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I wasn't going to speak on this particular motion but in the complete absence of justification from the Government I feel it's important that I do. Now, in current circumstances we're all going through quite an environment of change and adaptation. I do note that Alanis Morissette was due to perform in Auckland but has had to postpone her concert, so it's over to me to say on her behalf, isn't it ironic? Isn't it ironic that in Opposition that lot were lions defending the democratic principles of a six-month select committee process? Isn't it ironic that in Opposition they were the defenders that New Zealanders should have every opportunity to have their say on any given piece of legislation, and they would roar in Opposition should the Government have proposed any shortening of that process?
